CUTTING OPENING THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL AND COLLAR INSTALLATION

After reading the manual and you have determined the location of the opening in the wall, (using the drawing below), cut a 3_"

hole through an exterior wall.

NOTE: When determining location of the opening in the outside wall allow for the V_"rise per foot that has taken place in the horizontal run.

CONNECTING PVC, ABS OR CPVC PIPE VENT TO

BLOWER

1. T	h	e manufacturer	•	,,	PVC Schedule 40 street
			has supplied a 3

elbow for connection to me water heater when turning imme- diately horizontally off the blower. Place the dbow in the required direction on the blower and using 3 sheet metal screws, attach the elbow.

40 GAL.- 60"

50 GAL.- 59½"

2. If there is to be a vertical run of vent from the blower, the 3"

PVC or ABS pipe must be attached to the blower using 3 sheet metal screws. Additionally, you must seal all joints using a suit- able silicone sealer such as GE RTV-103 or equivalent.

The 3" PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent pipe can be run					/
from the water heater	through	the wall or from	the wall	to the
water heater, whichever	is most	convenient. The	vent pipe	must	/

extend a minimum of 1½" through the exterior wall. Extending the vent cap as far as possible from the surface of the exterior wall will help minimize discoloration of the wall in this area which may be caused by the flue gases. Note that the inside col- lar must be slipped over the vent piping before locating the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and opening to insure a water and air tight seal.
