If the vent system extends more than 5 feet
(1.5m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may
be necessary. Additional screws may be used
at section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional sup-
port on multiple joint configurations.
G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections - Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in Step C. Install support straps
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 18, Figure 28. It is very important

run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the
way down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s
level to measure from a constant surface and
adjust the support straps as necessary.
It is important to maintain the required clear-

H. Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart (Figure 22).
One method of support is by utilizing field pro-
vided support straps (conventional plumber's
tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing
members with nails or screws. Loop the tape
around the vent, securing the ends of the tape
to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6
x 1/2" length may be used to secure the support
straps to the vent pipe. Refer to Figure 20.
F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run - At transition from or to a horizontal/in-
clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to
allow them to be routed about the center axis
of their initial collar section to align with the
required direction of the next vent run element.
Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction
only so as to avoid the possibility of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections
(see Figure 21).
K. Install the vertical termination - The final
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections
to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent
termination section" in Figure 5 on Page 6.
The SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination (Figure
24) can be installed in the exact same fashion
as any other Secure Vent™ section. Align the
termination over the end of the previously
installed section, adjusting the radial alignment
until the four locking dimples of the termination
are aligned with the inlets of the four incline
channels of the last vent section. Push the ter-
mination down until it fully engages, then twist
the termination clockwise running the dimples
down and along the incline channels until they
are seated at the end of the channels.
I. Install the roof flashing - Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof flashing over the vent section and posi-
tion such that the vent column rises vertically
(use carpenters level) (Figure 23). Nail along
perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing
to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides
only and trim where necessary. Seal the top
and both sides of the flashing with waterproof
caulking.
J. Install the storm collar - Install the storm
collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/
flashing joint (see Figure 23). Loosen the storm
collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets
the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting
screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or
mastic around the circumference of the joint
to provide a water tight seal.
