RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete line
of component parts for installation of both
horizontal and vertical installations. Many
items are offered in decorative black, as well
as galvanized fi nish.
The minimum components required for a basic
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap XL
1 90
o
Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic
vertical termination are:
1 Vertical Termination Cap
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
penetrate roof
1 Ceiling Firestop
1 Flashing
1 Storm Collar
Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring
strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding
standoff, to create a level surface to mount the
vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding. Measure the wall thickness including
furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must
be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside
surface of wall without siding and add 2
inches.
