2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock
connections. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams
oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes
and fittings have three locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on
the male end of adjacent pipes and fittings. Push the
pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are
fully locked. Figure 16
3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the fireplace. Set fireplace
in front of its permanent location to insure minimum
clearances. Mark the wall for a 11Z\x"H x 9Z\x"W (292 x 24
mm) rectangle hole (for noncombustible material such
as masonry block or concrete, a 7Z\x" [190 mm] diameter
hole is acceptable). Figure 15. The center of the hole
should line up with the center line of the horizontal rigid
vent pipe end. Be sure to allow for minimum rise. Cut
a 11Z\x" x 9Z\x" (292 X 241 mm) rectangle hole through
combustible exterior wall (7Z\x" [190 mm] diameter hole
if noncombustible). Frame as necessary. Allow 1/4"
minimum rise per foot. Figure 15
4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the
outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the
center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP”
on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of
1" to combustibles is maintained. Attach the vent cap
with four wood screws supplied. Figure 17
Replace the wood screws with appropriate fasteners
for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.
