Seal the seam in the vent pipe.

"X" is the length of combustion air pipe required through and above the roof

"X" must equal roof thickness plus clearance required for anticipated snow

plus ridge and/or parapet clearance "X" must not exceed 60" (1524mm)

V Flowent

Install the vent pipe by inserting it into the terminal side of the box and pushing it out through the seal on the heater side.

NOTE: Be sure flow direction is correct.

2c) Attach the outside portion of the com-

bustion air pipe to the box. Determine the length of the combustion air pipe so that dimension "X" (Figure 6A) is equal to the roof thickness, plus snow depth and ridge or parapet clearance, but does not exceed 60" (1524 mm). Attach the combustion air pipe to the collar with sheetmetal screws being careful not to penetrate the vent pipe.

3. Attach the concentric adapter. Insert

the vent pipe and combustion air pipe up

through the roof and secure the adapter box.

Lubricate the seal and pipe with liquid soap or a rubber lubri- cant. (Installation Tip: Spray cooking oil works well as a lubri- cant for this task.) Being sure the pipe is in the proper flow direction, slide the end through the box and push it out through the rubber seal. Push evenly using caution not to displace the seal from its position on the edge of the hole. If the rubber seal moves, slide the pipe back slightly, re-position the seal, and slide the pipe through again.

Position the vent pipe so that it will extend a minimum of 22" (559mm) past the end of the combustion air pipe. See Figure 6B.

A maximum of 6" (152mm) of vent pipe should extend out the heater side. Any time the pipe is re-positioned, re-check the seal to be sure that it has not rolled. Adjust the pipe and seal until the pipe is the correct length on each side of the box and the seal is over the edge of the hole and tight to the entire circumference of the pipe.

Installation of the vertical vent and combustion air system on your sepa- rated-combustion unit is complete. Refer to Figure 6E and verify that all installation requirements are met.
