3.5.1 Finishing Materials
NOTE: A #KPV-FEK Finishing Extension Kit will be needed for
installations with exterior finishing materials greater than 1" thick.
Order with the appliance and venting system. It will be used to ensure
that the finishing is done to appropriate size for the #KPV-FEK to be
installed properly.
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT #KPV-FEK IS LEVEL TO ENSURE THE
POWER VENT IS LEVEL. THIS IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE PRECIPITATION
DOES NOT BUILD UP INSIDE THE CAP. Care should be taken to ensure
#KPV-FEK is secured flat to the wall.
NOTE: Sealant used must have a minimum of 300°F continuous
exposure rating.
If installing finishing material less than 1 inch thick, skip to Step 10 on
the next page.
1. Place assembled box over the framed opening in the wall with
outside flanges oriented vertically and held tight to the building
exterior.
2. Drive two of the supplied wood screws through opposite ends
of the two outer flanges. This will secure #KPV-FEK extension
box to the building and allow for squaring of the #KPV-FEK. See
Figure 3.15. Seal all corners, joints, and bend lines with silicone
caulk. Ensure all gaps and holes are filled so a sealed envelope is
formed.
3. The wall is now ready to be finished. Finishing materials such as
stone, marble, or brick can then be applied up to the flanges of
the #KPV-FEK that protrude perpendicular to the wall. This will
ensure that the cap will fit into the opening after finishing has
been completed.
NOTE: Outside flanges of the #KPV-FEK must not have any pressure on
them from the finishing materials. This could cause the opening left
after finishing to be too small.
4. After the #KPV-FEK has been installed and the finishing of the
wall is completed, apply a bead of silicone to the #KPV-FEK
around the entire metal flange.
5. Apply a bead of silicone along the backside of the entire metal
flange of #KPV. Align with #KPV-FEK as shown in Figure 3.16.
Ensure cap is level and square, then secure #KPV to #KPV-FEK
with (8) screws.
6. Reinstall the #KPV back assembly that was removed in Step 1 of
Section 3.5. See Figure 3.17
7. After the #KPV has been secured to the #KPV-FEK, silicone should
be applied around the outer edge of #KPV-FEK where it meets
the building exterior. Silicone should also be applied where #KPV
and #KPV-FEK meet, as shown in Figure 3.18 on the following
page.
8. Place decorative cover onto cap and fasten. Once cover has been
secured, installation is complete.
9. Place a bead of silicone on the back side of the mounting flange
for the cap. See Figure 3.19 on the next page. Instructions
continue on the next page.
