8.Straight Sections Cut To Length:

If a custom length of SC is necessary, a standard vent section can be cut.

a.Measure the distance of the length needed, taking the measurement from the end of one of the outer jackets to the beginning of the other outer jacket on the section to connect to, (A to B on diagram).

b.Select a section that is longer than the required length.

c.It will be necessary to disassemble the vent prior to cutting.

Stand the section on end with the holes up. Find the end of snap ring and pry it out of its groove, being careful not to damage the ends of the vent pipes. Pull up on end of the snap ring and pull it out from the end of the pipe. It may want to spiral out as it is removed. After the snap ring is removed, the inner vent pipe can be separated from the outer jacket.

d.Add 2” to the distance measured previously for the cut length of the outer jacket. Mark a cut line on the outer jacket on the male end (the end without holes in it).

An effective way of marking is to run a length of tape around the section, assuring a square cut.

e.Add 3” to the distance measured previously for the cut length of the inner vent pipe. Mark a cut line on the inner vent on the male end (the end without the red seal).

The inner pipe is always cut 1” longer than the outer pipe.

f.WEAR GLOVES, as cut ends are very sharp. Cut the pipes with an abrasive cutoff saw, plasma cutter, or compound snips. If using snips, start the cut at the male end and follow a spiral path around the pipe until the cutoff mark is reached. File off any burrs or rough edges that develop in the cutting process and clean off any dust or grit. If the cutting process distorts the roundness of the pipes, carefully use your thumbs to re-round the ends.

g.Reassemble the inner vent into the outer jacket and reinstall the snap ring into the groove. Push the inner vent into the outer jacket until the triangle on the inner vent is seated firmly against the bead on outer jacket. Start one end of the snap ring into the groove of the outer pipe. Slowly turn and feet the snap ring into the groove in a spiral motion, and continue around the pipe until the snap ring is fully inserted. Ensure that the triangle on the inner vent is all the way down against the bead of the outer jacket by pushing in firmly. Also ensure that the snap ring is completely in the groove all the way around outer jacket.

SCG specifications

Burnham SCG, short for Burnham Smart City Grid, represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reshaping urban landscapes through the integration of modern technologies and sustainable practices. Situated in the heart of a growing metropolis, Burnham SCG embodies the principles of smart city design, focusing on creating an efficient, interconnected environment that enhances the quality of life for its residents.

One of the key features of Burnham SCG is its extensive use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This infrastructure enables real-time data collection from various sensors strategically placed throughout the city. For instance, smart streetlights equipped with sensors adjust their brightness based on ambient light conditions and pedestrian activity, effectively reducing energy consumption. This use of IoT extends to waste management, where smart bins signal when they are full, optimizing collection routes and minimizing fuel consumption.

In addition to IoT, Burnham SCG places a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources. The city integrates solar panels across public buildings and utilizes wind turbines in designated areas, contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. Furthermore, an advanced battery storage system ensures that excess energy generated during peak production times is efficiently stored and used during high-demand periods, promoting energy resilience.

Transportation in Burnham SCG embraces the future with integrated smart mobility solutions. A robust network of electric vehicle charging stations encourages the adoption of eco-friendly transportation. The city also features a user-friendly app that provides real-time information about public transport schedules, bike-sharing availability, and traffic conditions, making it easier for residents to navigate their daily commute.

The urban design of Burnham SCG prioritizes green spaces and walkability. Urban planners have designed parks and pedestrian-friendly pathways that encourage outdoor activities and community engagement. These green areas not only enhance urban aesthetics but also contribute to improved air quality and biodiversity.

Lastly, community involvement stands at the core of Burnham SCG’s framework. The city regularly engages its residents through public forums and digital platforms, ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes regarding urban development and sustainability initiatives.

In summary, Burnham SCG is a visionary model of a smart city that integrates technology, sustainability, and community engagement. With its innovative features and forward-thinking policies, it sets a benchmark for future urban developments around the world.
