Prepare wall penetrations

1. Use the factory supplied wall plate as a template to locate

the vent and air intake holes and mounting holes.

Air pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole as
close as desired to the air pipe outside
diameter.

Vent pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible

or noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe

hole with at least a 1/2 inch clearance around the

vent pipe outer diameter:

• 7½ inch hole for 6 inch vent pipe

• 8½ inch hole for 7 inch vent pipe

Drill 3/16" diameter holes for inserting the plastic anchors
into the wall.

2. For Polypropylene Only: Install the vent and air intake

sidewall adapters from Table 2E on page 20 into the vent

plate. Slide the sidewall retaining bracket down the

sidewall adapters flush to the vent plate (FIG. 3-4B).

3. For PVC/CPVC Only: Install the vent and air intake

piping through the wall into the vent plate openings.

Use RTV silicone sealant to seal the air pipe. Use the

cement/primer listed in Table 2C on page 19 to seal the

vent

pipe.

4. Mount and secure the vent plate to the wall, using stainless
steel

screws.

5. Seal all gaps between the pipes and wall. Seal around the

plate to the wall assuring no air gaps.

6. Assemble the vent cap to the vent plate (see FIG.’s 3-4A

and 3-4B). Insert the stainless steel screws into the vent

cap screw hole openings and securely attach the vent cap

to the vent plate.

7. Seal all wall cavities.
