E. Assembly of Stainless Steel Venting
CAUTION
Vent systems made by Heat Fab, Protech, and Z-Flex rely on gaskets for proper sealing. When
these vent systems are used, take the following precautions:
• Make sure that gasket is in position and undamaged in the female end of the pipe.
• Make sure that both the male and female pipes are free of damage prior to assembly.
• Only cut vent pipe as permitted by the vent manufacturer in accordance with their instructions.
When pipe is cut, cut end must be square and carefully de-burred prior to assembly.
