(NOTE: Some termination caps may cause the vent pipe to be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If you are not using an approved termination cap with a built-in standoff on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.9). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. . Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.

WARNING! The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding

•Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

•Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Step 5.

Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent termination cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent termination cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. Figure 5.10.

WARNING

Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without using the telescoping flue section found on the termination cap.

WARNING

Burn Risk.

•Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.
