Installation Instructions

Conduct an inspection of the venting
system annually. Recommended
areas to inspect are as follows:
. Check areas of the Venting System
which are exposed to the elements
for corrosion. These will appear as
rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These component
should immediately be replaced.
Remove the Vertical Termination
Cap and shine a ashlight down the
Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other
foreign material.
Check for evidences of excessive
condensation, such as water
droplets forming in the inner liner,
and subsequently dripping at joints.
Continuous condensate can cause
corrosion of caps, pipe, and ttings. It
may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and
exterior portions of the system being
exposed to cold weather.
. Inspect joints to verify that no
Pipe Sections or Fittings have been
disturbed or loosened. Also check
mechanical supports such as Wall
Straps or plumbers tape for rigidity.
All components are
labeled with the appropriate
identication information, and the UL
listing data, where applicable.
