Follow vent pipe manufacturer's instructions for sealing the vent. Vent and
combustion air connector piping must be sealed gas-tight to prevent
possibility of flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, resulting in
severe personal injury or death.
1. Follow StaR-34 manufacturer's instructions to construct vent run and for methods of
supporting vent runs.
•
Clean joints before sealing. See vent pipe manufacturer's instructions to clean joints.
• Use their specified sealant (maximum 250 0 F flue temperature). Do not use screws.
• Do not mix types or manufacturers of vent materials.
• Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials to vent pipe; 0"
clearance for noncombustible materials.
• Install vent pipe with seams on top of vent runs.
• If needed, male end of vent pipe may be cut to provide correct length. See vent pipe
manufacturer's instructions for use.
2. If installing with direct vent method, use instructions provided with Weil-McLain
termination kit. See Figures 3 , 4 or 5 on page 5.
