Step 5.

Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section (Figure 5.9).

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.

Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as specified.

Do not pack air space with insulation or other materials.

Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from vent pipe may cause fire.

WARNING

Burn Risk.

Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.

WARNING

Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without using the telescoping flue section found on the termination cap.
