This appliance's venting system is room sealed or Direct Vent. This means that it does not require
room air for combustion but draws air from outside the building.
USE OF COUPLERS – WITH FLEX PIPE
In the event of a puncture of the vent pipe or if an extension is needed couplers may be used. High
temperature sealant shall be applied to the ends of the coupler and the coupler shall then be inserted
into the flex vent. Use 3 #8 x ½" hex head sheet metal screws on each end of the joint to fasten the
coupler to the venting.
