INSTALLATION NOTES
Proper planning for your Combustion Air
System installation will result in greater
safety, efficiency, and convenience, as well as
saving time and money. you must use only
authorized Simpson Dura-Vent CAS parts
and related vent or chimney components to
maintain a safe, approved system. Do not mix
parts or try to match with other products or use
improvised solutions. Do not install damaged
or modified parts. Practice good workmanship.
Sloppy work could jeopardize your vent’s or
chimney’s safety. Keep electrical wiring and
building insulation away from all chimneys
and vents. When deciding the location of your
installation, try to avoid modifications to roof
beams and other structural components of the
