Cut a length of PVC pipe about 3.5 inches (8.9cm)longer than wall
thickness at the opening. Glue vent terminal to this section of pipe. Slide
the wall plate over the pipe to stop against the vent terminal. Place a

and wall. Place some of the caulking on the back of the plate to hold it
against the wall after installation. If the vent pipe is installed up to the
wall, with a coupling on the end against the wall opening, the pipe with
the vent terminal can be prepared for gluing before inserting through
the wall. Slide the pipe through the wall and insert into the coupling on
the other side of the wall, making sure that the vent terminal ends up
pointed in the correct position, see Figure 18.
