INSTALLATION FOR

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

1. Determine the route your horizontal

venting will take. Note: The location

 

of the horizontal vent termination on the

 

exterior wall must meet all local and

12" Minimum

national building codes and must not be

 

easily blocked or obstructed.

 

WARNING: Do not recess vent

 

terminal into a wall or siding.

 

Snorkel terminations are available for

 

terminations requiring a vertical rise on

 

the exterior of the building (see Figures

 

9 and 10). Follow the same installation

 

procedures as used for standard horizon-

 

tal terminations. If installing the snor-

Figure 9 - Snorkel Termination

kel termination below grade (basement

 

applications), you must provide proper

 

drainage to prevent water from entering

Snorkel

the snorkel termination (see Figure 10).

Do not back fill around the snorkel ter-

 

mination.

 

2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have spe-

 

cial twist-lock connections. Assemble

 

the desired combination of pipe and el-

 

bows to the appliance adaptor with pipe

 

seams oriented towards the wall or floor.

 

Twist-lock Procedure: The female

 

ends of the pipes and fittings have four

12" Minimum

locking lugs (indentations). These lugs

Adequate

will slide straight into matching slots on

the male ends of adjacent pipes and fit-

Drainage

 

tings. (All connections must be sealed

 

with high temperature silicone sealant

 

as specified in the second warning state-

 

ment on page 7.) Push the pipe sections

 

together and twist one section clockwise

 

approximately one-quarter turn until the

 

sections are fully locked. See Figure 11,

 

page 9. Note: Horizontal runs of vent

 

must be supported every three feet. Use

 

wall straps for this purpose.
