• Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions
in “Assembling Pipe Sections 10.B.”
NOTICE: If slip section is too long, the inner and outer
flues of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
NOTICE: When installing a vent system with an HRC
termination cap, all pipe system joints shall be sealed
using a silicone sealant with a minimum of 149 ºC (300 ºF)
continuous exposure rating.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner flue is not
required.
• All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
flues shall be sealed.
• Maintain a 38 mm overlap between the slip section and
the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 13 mm, using the pilot holes in the slip sec-
tion. See Figure 10.4.
C. Secure the Vent Sections
• Vertical runs of SLP pipe must be supported every 8 ft.
(2.44 m).
• Horizontal sections must be supported every 5 ft (1.52
m).
• Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart)
may be used to support vent sections. See Figures 10.5
and 10.6.
• Wall shield firestops may be used to provide horizontal
support vent sections.
• Ceiling firestops have tabs that may be used to provide
vertical support.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Improper support may allow vent to sag and separate.
Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per in-
stallation instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below
connection point to appliance.
