Installing Vent Pipe (SLP Pipe)

Figure 10.2 High Temperature Silicone Sealant

A. Assemble Vent Sections

To attach the first vent component to the starting collars

of the appliance:
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the pipe

section onto the collar.

• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow

engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into

place. Use this procedure for all vent components. See

Figure 10.1.

• Slide the gasket over the first vent section and place it

flush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air infiltration.

Caulk with a minimum of 149 ºC (300 ºF) continuous

exposure rating may be used to hold the part in place.

• Continue adding vent components, locking each

succeeding component into place.

• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely

fitted and locked into the preceding component.

Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two sto-

ries), or High-Rise Applications
For Installation into a commercial, multi-family (multi-level

exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All outer

pipe joints must be sealed with silicone with a minimum of

149 ºC (300 ºF) continuous exposure rating , including the

slip section that connects directly to the horizontal termi-

nation cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer

pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 10.2

• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,

slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed

in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT break

silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when removing

termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals are bro-

ken during removal of the termination cap, vent may leak.

Note: Align seams to engage pipe,

then rotate counterclockwise to lock
