RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete
line of component parts for installation of both

1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness

1 Rigid
Pipe

1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
penetrate

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.
