• Direct Vent Hood Assembly (consists of Vent
Hood Body and Vent Hood Tee) – 1 pc

sealant, fasteners and inner pipe clamps) – 1
pc
• Appliance (Boiler Flue Outlet) Adapter – 1 pc
• Appliance Clamp Halves – 2 pcs

3. Remove vent system components from carton
and set aside.
4. Separate the vent hood tee from the vent hood
body and set aside for later use.
5. After determining the location of the venting
system termination, cut the square hole in the

6. Wood or vinyl siding should be cut, so that vent
hood base plate mounts directly on the wallboard
to provide stable support. If siding thickness
exceeds ½”, use a spacer bar or board behind
the vent hood mounting (base) plate. See Figure

around the outer pipe of the vent hood with
a bead of high-temperature silicone sealant
