" round hole and attach to the exterior
wall with four wood screws provided.
Before attaching the vent cap to exterior
wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic
(pliable sealant) around the outside edges
to make a seal between it and the outside
wall. Note: The four wood screws provided
should be replaced with appropriate fas-
teners for stucco, brick, concrete or other
types of sidings (see Figure 10).
Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl
siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding
standoff may be installed between the
vent cap and exterior wall. The siding
standoff prevents excessive heat from
damaging the siding materials. Siding
material must be cut to accommodate
standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the stand-
off. Apply non-hardening mastic around
outside edge of standoff. Position the
standoff/cap assembly in the center of the
