the Slip Connector, until it is next to the bead.
Using the two, pre-punched holes in the Trim
Collar as a guide, drill two 1/8” diameter holes
in the Support Box. Screw the Trim Collar to
the Support Box, using the two sheet metal
screws provided with the kit.
Step 3. Slide the first Pipe Section upwards
over the Slip Connector. Rotate it so the seam
is facing the wall. Push the Pipe Section
upwards about 1 inch, so it will be held in place
by the Slip Connector. The Slip Connector
slides inside the pipe.
Step 4. Install the second Pipe Section (with
seam facing the wall) on the stove collar or the
appliance adapter (whichever is appropriate
for your installation). Note that the bottom of
the Pipe Section goes inside the stove collar or
appliance adapter.
Step 5. You are now ready to connect the
top and bottom Pipe Sections. Align the
pipe system vertically so the Pipe Sections
align together. Adjust the pipe assembly for
height by pushing upwards against the top
Pipe Section. The top Pipe Section will slide
up the outside of the Slip Connector (up to
approximately 10” of· adjustment). Drop the
top Pipe Section down into the lower Pipe
Section. No cutting is required. If possible,
fasten the pipe assembly to the appliance
with screws. Should the stove not readily
accommodate the pipe system, the DuraVent
Catalog has a variety of adaptors.
Step 6. To insure the safety of the installation
and to increase the rigidity of the system, use
3 sheet metal screws equally spaced around
each joint. Drill three 1/8” holes around the
circumference of each joint, and screw in
the sheet metal screws. This is especially
important if there are any elbows in the
system.
Note: If 90 degree elbows are used in the
system, no drip-free representation may be
made. Single wall elbows inherently have a
certain amount of spacing at the joints, which
may in some cases permit creosote leakage.
If the ceiling is higher than 8 feet, obtain Pipe
Sections from your dealer to accommodate the
additional height. See dealer for available pipe
section lengths.
Note: DuraBlack pipe will exhibit a moderate
paint-like odor during the first few uses. This is
normal curing of the finish and will disappear
after a few uses of the appliance.
