1. Unpack vent components and check all items for shipping
damage.
2. For this venting system to operate as designed it is depen-
dent on the use of all parts and procedures detailed in these
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may poten-
tially affect the performance of this vent system and the at-
tached appliance.
3. As per the replace manufacturer’s instructions, replace the
existing 6 5/8” diameter replace vent adapter with the 7”
diameter ex vent replace adapter included in the vent kit.
Install the adapter collar with the screws removed from the
standard replace collar. Refer to the replace manual for ad-
ditional information on the vent collar removal and installa-
tion.
4. Once the replace location has been determined, mark the
ceiling where the ex vent will pass through. Cut an opening
for installation of the restop thimble assembly. The open-
ing must measure a minimum of 9-1/2” x 9-1/2” square. See
Figure 29.
5. Next, determine the location for the cutout in the roof open-
ing. This opening must be large enough to provide a mini-
mum 1” air space clearance from the vertical vent pipe to any
combustible framing.
6. Install the Firestop/Thimble assembly to the framed opening
in the ceiling using common nails or screws.
Note: The thimble assembly is adjustable up or down as
needed within the restop. It is also designed with a pivoting
restop for use with 0 - 3/12 pitch cathedral ceilings.
7. To begin vent system assembly, rst layout all the vent com-
ponents on the oor in the order in which they will be as-
sembled.
8. Stretch the 4” diameter inner ex ue and 7” diameter outer
ex vent to the maximum length of 6 feet.
9. Install the spring spacers provided around the 4” diameter
ex ue at 1 foot intervals, then slide the ue pipe with spac-
ers into the 7” diameter outer ex vent pipe. Make sure the
springs are spaced evenly starting at 12 inches from the re-
place collar. See Figure 30.
