Installation & Operation Manual
Figure 4-4B Polypropylene Sidewall Termination Assembly
1.Use the factory supplied wall plate as a template to locate the vent and air intake holes and mounting holes.
Air pipe penetration:
a.Cut a hole for the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole as close as desired to the air pipe outside diameter.
Vent pipe penetration:
a.Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible or noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe hole with at least a 1/2 inch clearance around the vent pipe outer diameter:
•3½ inch hole for 2 inch vent pipe
•4½ inch hole for 3 inch vent pipe
Drill 3/16" diameter holes for inserting the plastic anchors into the wall.
2. For Polypropylene Only: Install the vent and air intake |
sidewall adapters from Table 3F on page 20 into the vent |
plate. Slide the sidewall retaining bracket down the |

4. | Mount and secure the vent plate to the wall, using stainless |
| steel screws. |
5. | Seal all gaps between the pipes and wall. Seal around the |
| plate to the wall assuring no air gaps. |
6. | Assemble the vent cap to the vent plate (see FIG.'s |
| and |
| cap screw hole openings and securely attach the vent cap |
| to the vent plate. |
7. | Seal all wall cavities. |
8. | PVC/CPVC terminations are designed to accommodate |
