CHAPTER 1 - PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
1.5.3 Flex Polypropylene Vent System Restrictions
• 2” Flex polypropylene venting is limited up to the
INSTINCT Solo 110.
Contact approved polypropylene vent man-
ufacturer for a copy of their installation in-
structions. Read, understand and follow all
of the vent manufacturer’s instructions be-
fore beginning the installation. Contact vent
manufacturer if you require any technical
support. Failure to properly install and sup-
port vent system can cause the venting sys-
tem to fail, resulting in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
• Approved for vertical installations only, where a
clean, structurally sound unused chimney or chase
is used as a raceway.
• Vertical osets must not exceed 45° and are limited
to a maximum number of 2.
• Requires rigid polypropylene vent pipe with ap-
proved locking band clamps or connector rings
and wall straps or support clamps from the appli-
ance to the entrance of the chimney or chase.
• Maintain 5/8” per foot slope back toward appliance
on all horizontal runs of rigid polypropylene vent
pipe.
• The use of a wall plate is required to seal rigid poly-
propylene vent pipe at the entrance of the chim-
ney or chase to prevent mortar or cement from
contacting the polypropylene vent pipe.
• Requires supports (elbow or base, ex chimney
and bracket), spacers, chimney cap and end pipe.
Consult vent manufacturer for complete list of re-
quired parts.
• Any termination piping external to the building
must be UV resistant.
• Do not apply insulation directly to vent. Maintain
vent manufacturers clearances to combustibles.
• Flex plastic venting systems shall not pass through
rated re separations.
• Prior to assembly of any joints, ensure joint gasket is
present and properly installed. Contact vent manu-
facturer if gasket is missing or damaged. Verify the in-
tegrity of joints upon completion of the vent system.
