Guide the vent terminations 5” and 8” collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by a minimum of 1Z\v" (32 mm). Secure
the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk
around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to
screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also
use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction
adhesive.
