•  When locating termination cap, it is impor-
tant  to  observe  the minimum  clearances 
shown in Figure 7, page 8.
•  If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra 
framing by positioning your replace against 
an already existing framing member.
•  Do not recess termination cap into a wall 
or siding.
•  You  may  paint  the  termination  cap  with 
450º  F  (232º  C)  heat-resistant  paint  to 
coordinate with the exterior nish. 
•  There  must  not  be  any  obstruction such 
as  bushes,  garden  sheds,  fences,  decks 
or utility buildings within 24" from the front 
of the termination cap.
•  Do not locate termination cap where exces-
sive snow or ice build up may occur. Be 
sure  to  clear  vent  termination  area  after 
snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of 
venting system. When using snow blowers, 
do not direct snow towards vent termination 
area.
