CUTTING OPENING THROUGH AN OUTSIDE
WALL AND COLLAR INSTALLATION
After reading the manual and you have determined the location
of the opening in the wall, (using the drawing below), cut a 3B"
hole through an exterior wall.
NOTE: When determining location of the opening in the
outside wall allow for the %" rise per foot that has taken
place in the horizontal run.

The 3" (or optional 2") PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent
pipe can be run from the water heater through the wall or from
the wall to the water heater, whichever is most convenient. The
vent pipe must extend a minimum of 17.," through the exterior
wall. Extending the vent cap as far as possible from the surface
of the exterior wall will help minimize discoloration of the wall
in this area which may be caused by the flue gases. Note that the
inside collar must be slipped over the vent piping before locat-
ing the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and
outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and
opening to insure a water and air tight seal.
