• Risk of fi re. Maintain specifi ed air space clearances to vent pipe and appliance.
• The vent system must be supported every 3'(0.9m) for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use support ring
assembly W010-0067 or equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to
combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs. Spacers are attached to the inner pipe at predetermined
intervals to maintain an even air gap to the outer pipe. This gap is required for safe operation. A spacer is
required at the start, middle, and end of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. These spaces must
not be removed.

This template must be used in conjunction with templates 7.2.1 or 7.2.2, depending on termina-
tion shape (i.e. round, or round and square). See appropriate templates folder.
For optimum fl ame appearance and appliance performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to
a minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year
to verify that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
Rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturer components
must not be combined.
