The aluminum inside pipe should always extend 0.4” (10 mm) beyond the white outside
pipe on the male end of the vent extension.
Always cut the male end of the vent pipe extension. Do not attempt to cut the
female end.
Pipes overlap by 1.25” (37 mm). Therefore when cutting
to size, add 2 x 1.25 = 2.5” (65 mm) to the extension pipe
length (X) needed for installation.
Deburr the sharp edges, other wise the gaskets might
get damaged, which can result in the system no longer
being air tight.
Improper installation of vent system and components, or failure to
follow all installation instructions, can result in property damage
or serious injury.

Condensate can damage
the water heater, please
read carefully page 4 in
this installation manual.
To prevent condensate from draining back to the appliance, a condensate collector (B)
and trap (C) should be used. The trap must maintain 3" of fluid and the drain tube must
pitch down from the appliance. Annually inspect the collector and trap for obstructions
and fluid content in the trap. Drain and dispose of condensate per local codes.
Female Appliance Top: The female appliance connection has an integrated condensate
collector. When using this condensate collector remove the drain cap and install a
condensate trap per the installation instructions.
Male Appliance Top: Install a condensate collector and trap as close as possible to the
appliance.
