NOTE: If installing the DVVK-4F Flex Vent Kit, an SC46DVA-FCF Flex Adaptor Collar Assembly must also be used (purchased separately).
Flex venting can only be installed vertically off of the DVLL and DVTL Series replaces. When installing a horizontal vent run from top
connections, maintain at least ½" rise for every 12" of vent run.
CAUTION: Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not sag.
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the ex vent components.
Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper sealing.
Always follow the general venting requirements for vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to combustible materials.
