Installation & Operation Manual │ FTG
When assembling the venting, follow the instructions provided with the Special Venting
System. Take care not to damage gaskets when inserting pipe into fittings, bevel cut ends
of piping to avoid damaging or dislodging the sealing gasket during installation. For
PVC/CPVC bevel by approximately 1/8 in.
Gasket Seating - Improper gasket seating can cause leakage and eventual failure of the
sealing gasket. Ensure the vent pipe is properly beveled, prior to installation, and that the
pipe is fully inserted into the exhaust-vent adapter. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT insert PVC pipe directly into the PVC/CPVC exhaust-vent adapter; the
clamping force of the gear clamp can deform the PVC pipe. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in gasket failure and/or the dislodging of the exhaust pipe from the
exhaust-vent adapter, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.
Exhaust venting must be supported to reduce strain on piping joints. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in result in damage, serious injury or death.
In Canada, the first 3 ft (915 mm) of vent piping must be readily accessible for inspection.
