VERTICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
INSTALLATION INTO A CLASS A METAL CHIMNEY (USA ONLY)
NOTE: Have the existing installation inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or profes-
sional installer prior to converting to direct vent. The existing chimney system
must be in serviceable condition and functionally sound and clean.
Step 1. Remove existing chimney cap.
Step 2. Measure the distance from the top of the chimney to the bottom of the ceiling
support box, add 3" (76mm) to this measurement, and cut a section of 4" (102mm)
flex pipe to that length (the flex should be extended to its nominal length).
Step 3. Connect the end of the flex pipe section to the underside of the top adapter (SDV
#985K, 986K or 987K), using three sheet metal screws (Figure 19).
Step 4. Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the chimney system, and center
the top adapter on the top of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8" (3.3mm) diameter
holes through the top adapter, and into the chimney top. Ensure that you are
drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twist lock the high wind termination cap
(SDV #991) onto the top adapter (Figures 20 and 21).
Step 5. Pull the flex pipe down through the ceiling support box, until it protrudes approxi-
mately 3" (76mm). Connect the flex pipe to the retro connector (SDV #909B),
and attach with sheet metal screws.
Step 6. Push the flex pipe back up into the ceiling support box, center the retro connec-
tor, and attach it to the support box with sheet metal screws.
Step 7. The connection between the appliance and the retro connector may be com-
pleted with sections of direct vent pipe.
