General Information for Connecting Vent Pipes

Canadian Installations:

Venting system must be installed in accordance with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.

USA Installations:

The venting system must conform with local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54.

Only direct vent components manufactured by CFM Corporation can be used in Direct Vent systems.

Twist Lock Pipes

When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joints of any telescopic vent section used in the system.

12

To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts the external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.

NOTE: For ease of assembly, use a lubricant (Vaseline or similar substance) on male end of twist lock pipe prior to assembly.
