11.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 termination cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent termination 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).
