Reference instructions in the termination kit.

•Install the 3-inch flexible vent pipe(s) down through the chimney.

•Secure the exhaust flexible vent pipe to the 3 foot section stainless steel flexible vent pipe using the factory- installed 3-inch collar in the stainless steel section of pipe (see Figure 7.1).
