1. | Cement the Y fitting to the larger diameter intake air pipe. |
2. | Slide the intake air pipe and Y fitting assembly from inside the |
| building through the hole cut for the termination in the roof |
| or sidewall. Ensure no foreign materials such as insulation |
| accumulate inside the assembly. |
3. | Secure the intake air Y fitting assembly using field supplied |
| metal strapping or equivalent support materials. |
4. | On installations installed through the roof slide a field supplied |
| plumbing boot or roof flashing over the intake air Y fitting |
| assembly and secure it to the roof. |
5. | Seal around the plumbing boot or roof flashing. |
6. | Cement the vent cap onto the vent pipe. Alternately a field- |
| supplied stainless steel screw may be used to secure the 2 |
| components together when field disassembly is desired for |
| cleaning. A pilot hole must be drilled for the screw to prevent |
| damage/cracking of the vent cap and/or vent pipe. |
NOTE: SECURING STRAP MUST BE FIELD INSTALLED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF TERMINATION KIT IN SIDEWALL.
