Step 7

Apply high temperature sealant to 4” (102 mm) and 7” (178 mm) collars or the termination one inch away from crimped end. Guide the vent terminations 4” and 7” collard into their respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes overlap the collars by 2” (51 mm). Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. You may also attach the termination with screws through the inner body into the 4” vent pipe, however for this method, you must extend the 4” pipe approximately 6” (152 mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.

Support horizontal pipes every 36” (914 mm) with metal pipe straps.
