11. Push the vent cap/vent pipe assembly into the intake air Y
tting assembly until the vent cap seats properly on the large
diameter intake air pipe. Ensure the vent pipe is cemented
to the no stop-lip reducer bushing previously installed in
the Y tting. Secure the vent cap to intake air pipe with eld
supplied stainless steel screws. Install the screws through
the pre-drilled holes in the vent cap brackets. Pilot holes for
the screws must be drilled in the intake air pipe to prevent
damage/cracking.

Figure 29
Assemble and install the 6 inch concentric termination. Refer to
Figure 29, Figure 30 and Figure 31 for these instructions:
1. Cement the Y tting to the larger diameter intake air pipe.
2. Cement the 6” x 4” no stop-lip reducer bushing into the
straight (vent) end of the Y tting.
3. If the intake air piping being installed is 4 inch pipe, cement
the 6” x 4” standard reducer bushing into the angle (intake
air) end of the Y tting as shown in Figure 29.
4. If the intake air piping being installed is 6 inch pipe discard
the 6” x 4” standard reducer bushing. The 6 inch intake air
piping will connect directly to the angle end of the Y tting.
5. Slide the intake air Y tting 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.
6. Secure the intake air Y tting assembly using eld supplied
metal strapping or equivalent support materials.
7. On installations installed through the roof slide a eld
supplied plumbing boot or roof ashing over the intake air Y
tting assembly and secure it to the roof.
8. Seal around the plumbing boot or roof ashing.
9. Slide the steel vent cap onto the 4 inch vent pipe and cement
the vent terminal to the end of the vent pipe.
10. Slide the vent cap back up the vent pipe until it touches the
vent terminal. Secure the vent cap to the vent pipe using eld
supplied stainless steel screws. Pilot holes must be drilled for the
screws to prevent damage/cracking of the vent pipe. Apply water
proof silicone sealant between the vent cap and the terminal.
