UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check |
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters |
are in the way when the venting system is |
attached. If this is the case, you may want |
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in |
the gas preferably on the right side of the |
unit and the electrical (junction block is on |
the left side) on the left. |
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed |
with special |

5)Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is
