Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:
Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to
•
the exterior wall surface.
Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is
•
adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and
•
the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
See Location section in heater manual for full range of
horizontal termination applications.

Wall Opening
•
Where applicable, t all the required pipes and elbows up to the
wall. See the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the venting
sections.
Check the wall opening position.
•
Make wall opening.
•
If the wall is constructed of solid non-combustible materials and has
no combustible surface cladding (including wood) inside or outside,
the wall plates or thimbles will not be required.
If the wall has combustible material, mark the wall for a 10” x 10”
square. If the wall is totally non-combustible (e.g. masonry block or
concrete), mark for a 7” circular hole. In both cases, the center of the
hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal vent.
Preparing Wall Plates
The wall plates are not used for 7” hole in non-combustible walls.
Bend the wall shields and screw to the inside of the wall plates with
1.
6 thread-cutting screws per plate. See gure 2.
Bend the inner wall plate tab as shown in gure 3 so that the seam
2.
on the terminal tube will pass clearly through the plate with the wall
shield at the top. Place the inner wall plate over the terminal unit.
Slide the appliance/terminal into the wall. Make sure that the drain
3.
hole is at the bottom—the seam will be through the notch in the wall
plates. See gure 4.
Slide the inner wall plate up to the wall. Mark the four holes for the
4.
wall screws. Slide the plate away.
Drill and plug the wall.
5.
Screw the plate to the wall with four screws provided.
