ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TERMINATION
M&G Duravent's PP Flex terminations are
specically designed for use with high-
eciency appliances that are known to
produce high volumes of uid due to
condensation of moisture within ue gases.
DO NOT modify these terminations.
IMPORTANT: Unless the appliance is designed
to address ow of condensates from the
vent system, a drain must be incorporated
within the vent to allow condensates and
rainwater to escape. This drain must include
a trap to prevent combustion gases from
entering living spaces. Be sure to check
the appliance manufacturer's installation
instructions closely in regards to condensate
management.
INSTALLATION OF FLEX GASKET:
PP Flex pipe must always have gaskets
installed on both ends of any installation.
Gaskets are installed on the ex pipe, with the
gasket seating inside the ex pipe grooves
(Fig.1). Use soapy water to assist installation.
1. Cut PP ex pipe (knife, saw, etc) to
desired length. Special care should be taken
to ensure cut is square, and the edge is
deburred.
2. Place Flex Gasket over Flex pipe and install
in the rst whole groove nearest the end.
3. Open the locking tabs (x2) of the
appropriate ex tting to accept the ex pipe
(Fig.2)
4. Apply soapy water to the gasket, and push
pipe/gasket into appropriate ex tting,
seating pipe down until it bottoms out
(Fig.2).
