4.2.4 VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
EN
MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2" (51mm) SPACE BETWEEN THE AIR INLET BASE AND THE STORM COLLAR.
A.
Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. The
roof support is optional. In this case the venting is to be adequately
supported using either an alternate method suitable to the authority
having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
B.
Stretch the inner ex pipe to the required length. Slip the
inner ex pipe a minimum of 2" (51mm) over the inner pipe
of the air terminal connector and secure with 3 #8 screws.
Seal using a heavy bead of high temperature sealant
W573-0007 (not supplied).
C.
Repeat using the outer ex pipe, using a heavy bead of
high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).
D.
Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down through
the roof. The air terminal must be positioned vertically and plumb.
Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring that the
top of the air terminal is 16" (406mm) above the highest point that it
penetrates the roof.
E.
Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the air
terminal connector. Place the ashing over the air terminal connector
leaving a min. 3/4" (19mm) of the air terminal connector showing
above the top of the ashing. Slide the ashing underneath the
sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal
connector is properly centred within the ashing, giving a 3/4"
(19mm) margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do not nail through
the lower portion of the ashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with
caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the
ashing with roo ng material.
F.
Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector,
place the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure
the vent pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with
the three screws provided.
G.
Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2" (51mm) above
the ashing. Install the storm collar around the air terminal and
slide down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-
tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is achieved.
H.
If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the appliance see "HORIZONTAL
AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION" section.
