6. Pull the insulation back to expose the corrugated stainless steel
core.
7. Cut the corrugated stainless steel core back by 3" for the IFV
Series vent. You should now have about 3" of insulation hanging
out past the stainless steel core (see figure #1.4).
8,
Push the stainless steel core onto the breech pipe as far as it will
go (see figure #1.5) and mechanically attach the vent to the
breech using three of the #8 X 1/2" self-drilling screws provided
with the VTK Series kit. The screws should be equally spaced
around the circumference of the stainless steel core, starting with
the first screw at top dead center. Start the drill point of the
screws in the valleys of the corrugations at 3/8"-5/8" back from
the end of the stainless steel core, so the screw heads can be
properly sealed in the forthcoming operations (see figure #1.6).
9,
With the stainless steel core now firmly attached to the breech,
tear off one green gum-sealing strip from the backing strip. Wrap
the seal strip around the joint, always keeping the centerline of
the seal strip over the line where the corrugated stainless steel
core makes the transition to the smooth outer surface of the
breech pipe. In other words, the seal strip must be centered over
the joint. After wrapping the seal strip around once, allow 1/2"
overlap and tear offthe residual length (see figure #1.7).
10. Break the residual length of seal strip in to 3 equal parts and stuff
them onto the screw heads of the stainless steel self-drilling
screws so that the screw heads are completely covered.
11. Two stainless steel band clamps are provided in the VTK Series
kits. Position one stainless steel band clamp over the gum seal
joint so that the edge of the clamp closest to the breech lines up
with the edge of the gum seal that is closest to the breech.
Ensure that the band will close with an action of one strip sliding
over the other - not under the gearhead of the draw clamp (see
figure #1.8). Tighten the band clamp with considerable torqueto
cause the gum sea! be squeezed into all crevices and to ooze
out of the end of the clamp closest to the breech (see figure
#1.9). The gum will eventually become rubbery.
12. The seal is permanent and should never need to be
disconnected as the breech plate can be removed for cleaning
and inspection using the 4-bolt joint.
13. Tuck the vent insulation into the breech collar.
14. Screw the spin sleeve tightly into the breech cellar for a finished
appearance. Wrap the other end of the spin sleeve with
aluminium tape to cover any metal burrs that may be present
(see figure #1.10).
15. Bend the venting into the desired radius coming offthe breech.
Connection to the vent terminal - DV-2000TM:
Prepare the terminal end of the insulated flex vent by first
screwing the spin sleeve onto the corrugated aluminium jacket
until the trailing edge of the spin sleeve is about 19" from the end
of the vent.
2. Using sharp tin snips, cut the aluminium outer sleeve back by 5"
for the IFV Series vent
3. Pull the insulation back to expose the corrugated stainless steel
core.
4. Cat the corrugated stainless steel core back by 3" for the IFV
Series vent. You should now have about 3" of insulation hanging
out past the stainless steel core.
5,
Push the stainless steel core onto the pipe on the back of the
terminal as far as it will go and mechanically attach the vent to
the terminal using three of the #8 X 1/2" self-drilling screws
provided with the VTK Series kit. The screws should be equally
spaced around the circumference of the stainless steel core,
starting with the first screw at top dead center. Start the drill point
of the screws in the valleys of the corrugations at 3/8"-5/8"back
from the end of the stainless steel core.
8,
With the stainless steel core now firmly attached to the terminal,
tear off the other green gut_sealing strip from the backing strip.
Wrap the sea! strip around the joint, always keeping the
centerline of the seal strip over the line where the corrugated
stainless steel core makes the transition to the smooth outer
surface of the terminal pipe. After wrapping the seal strip around
once, allow 1/2" overlap and tear off the residual length.
7. Break the residual length of seal strip in to 3 equal parts and stuff
them onto the screw heads of the stainless steel self-drilling
screw s so that the screw heads are completely covered.
8.
Position the other stainless steel band clamp over the gum seal
joint so that the edge of the clamp closest to the terminal lines up
with the edge of the gum sea! that is closest to the terminal.
Tighten the band clamp with considerable torque to cause the
gum seal be squeezed into all crevices and to ooze out of the
end of the clamp closest to the terminal (see figure #1.11 ).
9.
The seal is permanent and should never need to be
disconnected as the end of the terminal can be opened for
cleaning and inspection by removing the screened end-cone
assembly. Tuck the vent insulation into the recess in the terminal
body.
10.
Screw the spin sleeve tightly into the recess for a finished
appearance. Wrap the other end of he spin sleeve with
aluminium tape to cover any metal burrs that may be present
(see figure #1.12).
1I. Bend the venting into the desired radius coming off the terminal.
Installing terminal in the wail - DV'2000TM:
1. Cut a 6" hole in the side-wall in accordance with the location
considerations outlined in the previous section.
2.
Fasten the wall plate to the inside-wall using 4 field-provided
fasteners appropriate for the material behind the wall plate.
Depending on the angle of access, the pressure control bracket
may need to be removed to access the top right wall plate screw
hole. For concrete and block, Tapcon TM screws or equivalent are
recommended. Install the wall plate so that the top of the hole in
the wall plate is positioned 1/8" lower than the top of the 6" hole
in the wall. This will accommodate the proper downward slope of
the terminal, in the direction from the inside to the outside.
3. Remove the 2 screws fastening the end cone in place and
remove the cone.
4. Remove the 2 screws fastening the stabiliser shroud in place and
remove the stabiliser shroud.
5. Insert the main body of the terminal through the wall plate so that
the end of the terminal extends about 2" past the outside wall.
6. Install the stabiliser shroud and replace the two mounting screws.
(see figure #1.13).
7,
For concrete and block wall installations in particular, If it appears
that the flange on the back of the stabiliser shroud is not large
enough to cover the irregularities in the hole, a field fabricated
wall plate can be constructed out of 304,316, or 316L stainless
steel.
8. Silicone seal the circumference of the joint where the stabiliser
shroud connects to the main body of the terminal.
9. Apply caulking to the back plate of the stabiliser shroud and push
the terminal back firmly against the wall, making sure the
pressure switch is located at the top, in a horizontal position.
