5. Install rain cap and small diameter pipe assembly in Y concentric
tting and large pipe assembly. Ensure small diameter pipe is
bottomed and cemented in Y concentric tting.
6. Secure assembly to structure as shown in Figure: 28 using
eld-supplied metal strapping or equivalent support material.
NOTE: Ensure termination location clearance dimensions are as
shown in the diagrams found in Figure: 28” and Figure 29. When
extending the length of the 4” pipe, the added length beyond 21-1/8”
must be deducted from the maximum equivalent feet of vent pipe.
NOTE: If assembly needs to be ex tended to allow side wall thickness
requirement, the 2 pipes supplied in the kit may be replaced by
using same diameter, eld-supplied SDR-26 PVC (D2241) pipe. Do
not extend 21 1/8” (53.6 cm) dimension more than 60” (1.5 m). See
Figure: 24”.
Do not use eld-supplied couplings to extend pipes. Air ow restriction
will occur and the heater pressure switch may cause intermittent
operation.

termination assembly. See Figure 29 for proper pipe attachment.
