VENTING INSTALLATION
Step 7
Guide the vent terminations 4” and 7” collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by 2” (51 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 ex-
panding plugs or an approved exterior construction ad-
hesive. You may also attach the termination with screws
through the inner body into the 4” vent pipe, however
for this method, you must extend the 4” pipe approxi-
mately 6” (152 mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.
Support horizontal pipes every 36” (914
mm) with metal pipe straps.

When installing the spacer springs around the 4” pipe,
stretch the spring to approximately 15” (381 mm), wrap
the spring around the pipe and interlock the ends of the
spacer spring approximately 2” (51 mm). Measure 183/4”
(476 mm) from the end of the pipe. Place the next spring
5” (127 mm) from the previously installed spring. Place
the next spring 6” (152 mm) from the last spring. Finally
place the last spring 12” (305 mm) from the last spring
installed. Figure 19

BELOW GRADE INSTALLATION
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal
clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level, a snor-
kel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down
to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. The 7” (178 mm) is
measuredfromthecenterofthehorizontalventpipeasit
penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed.
If venting system is installed below ground, we rec-
ommend a window well with adequate and proper
drainage to be installed around the termination area.
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610 mm) vertical
riseis necessary.The maximumhorizontal run with the
24” vertical pipe is 36” (914 mm). This measurement is
takenfromthecollarofthereplace(ortransitionelbow)
to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting
Graphforextendedhorizontalruniftheverticalexceeds
24” (610 mm).
