General Venting │ Vmax I&O Manual
Stainless Steel Piping – The Vmax universal appliance adapter is designed to connect directly to DuraVent –
FasNSeal AL29-4C Stainless Steel Special Gas Vent. Ensure the lower gasket of the universal appliance
adapter is in place and properly positioned prior to installation. Ensure the venting system does not apply a
load or strain on the boiler flue outlet adapter; recommend using two elbows to create a “swing joint” to
reduce potential strain on vent piping and cemented joints. See Figure 4-3(d).
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.
