Vent connections must be firmly pressed
together so that the gaskets form an
airtight seal. To ensure optimum joint
connection, it is recommended to secure
with three #8x1/2" self tapping screws.
Secure the vent to the wall or ceiling with
pipe clamps or perforated hanger iron.
Vent connections extending beyond the
outside of a building or structure should
be enclosed to protect seals and gaskets.
Horizontal vent lengths greater than 5ft.
should pitch a minimum 1/4"/ft. (1°) to
the appliance.
NOTE
See exception under Condensate on
page .
For a male appliance top, the first vent
component to the appliance must be a
vertical discharge adapter or a horizontal
discharge adapter. Never use a vent
extension as the first component to a
male appliance top.
Installations with a female appliance top
do not need an appliance adapter. Simply
insert the male end of a vent component
into the female appliance top.
NOTE
The molded line on the male end of
the elbow (x) indicates the proper
insertion depth into the appliance top.
