RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete 
line of component parts for installation of both 
horizontal and vertical installations. Many items 
are offered in decorative black, as well as gal-
vanized fi nish. 
The minimum components required for a basic 
horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap
XL
1 90
o
Elbow
1 Rigid
Pipe
Adaptor
1 Wall
Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic 
vertical termination are:
1 Vertical
Termination
Cap
1 Rigid
Pipe
Adaptor
 1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
 penetrate 
roof
1 Ceiling
Firestop
 1 Flashing
 1 Storm 
Collar
Wall thickness is measured from the back 
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of 
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl 
furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl 
siding standoff, to create a level surface to 
mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must 
not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall 
thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must 
be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside 
surface of wall without siding and add 2 
inches.
