Installation & Operation Manual

5Vertical direct venting (continued)

Vertical termination – optional concentric vent: Models 399 - 600 Only

￿WARNING

Do not operate the appliance with the rain cap removed or recirculation of combustion products may occur. Water may also collect inside the larger combustion air pipe and flow to the burner enclosure. Failure to follow this warning could result in product damage or improper operation, personal injury, or death.

CAUTION	DO NOT use field-supplied couplings to
	extend pipes. Airflow restriction will
	occur.

6.	Install the rain cap and the small diameter pipe assembly
	into the roof penetration assembly. Ensure the small
	diameter pipe is fastened tightly into the rubber adapter
	for #CVK3007 installations.
7.	Cement the appliance combustion air and vent pipes to

4.Install the Y concentric fitting pipe assembly up through the structure’s hole and field supplied roof boot/flashing.

NOTICE	Do not allow insulation or other materials
	to accumulate inside the pipe assembly
	when installing through the hole.

5.Secure the assembly to the roof structure as shown below in FIG. 5-6 using field supplied metal strapping or equivalent support material.

for proper pipe attachment.

8. Operate the appliance through one (1) heat cycle to

ensure combustion air and vent pipes are properly

connected to the concentric vent termination

connections.
