4.Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the chimney system, and center the top adapter on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8 in. (3 mm) diameter holes through the top adapter, and into the chimney top. Ensure that you are drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twist lock the high wind termination cap onto the top adapter (Figures 5.22 and 5.23).

CAUTION

Ensure that existing chimney is functionally sound and clean.

•Have inspection done by qualified chimney sweep or professional installer BEFORE converting to direct vent appliance.

1.Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry penetration.

2.Once the center point of the penetration has been determined, cut a 6 in. (152 mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut and frame a 10 in. (254 mm) square opening in the wall (centered around the 6 in. (152 mm) masonry opening). If there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the 10 in. (254 mm) opening is still needed, but does not need to be framed. If the hole is framed a round support box/wall thimble is required. This allows the retro connector to mount directly on the masonry and provide the correct clearances to combustibles (Figure 5.25).
