Installing Vent Pipe
B. Penetrating a Wall
Wherever a combustible wall is penetrated, the hole must
be framed with an interior wall shield (DVP-WS) as shown in
Figures 2.3-2.4. This shield maintains minimum clearances
and restricts cold air infiltration. If the wall being penetrated is
of noncombustible materials (material which will not ignite or
burn, or has a UL fire rating of zero), a 9 in. diameter hole is
acceptable. Whenever a wall is penetrated the wall shield is only
required on one side and no heat shield is necessary. If your
local inspector requires the wall shield on both sides, then both
wall shields must have a heat shield attached to them.
Figure 2.4 Interior Wall Shield
Figure 2.3 Exterior Wall Hole
Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by 1-1/2 in. min. for rear
vented appliances.
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as
specified.
• Do not pack air space with insulation or
other materials.
Failure to keep insulation or other materials
away from vent pipe may cause fire.

Fire Risk

• Overlap pipe slip sections at least
1-1/2 inches.
• Use pilot holes for screws.
• Screws must not exceed one inch long.
• Pipe may separate if not properly
joined.
WARNING
Attaching Vent to the Firebox Assembly
To attach the first pipe section to the collars, slide the male
end of the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar
on the firebox assembly. At the same time, slide the outer
flue over the outer collar on the appliance. Push the pipe
section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see Fig-
ure 2.5) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section
to confirm it has completely locked into place.
Assemble Pipe Sections
Insert the inner flue of section A into the flared inner flue of
section B.
Start the outer flue of section A over the outer flue of section
B (see Figure 2.6).
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on
it will face towards the appliance.
Once both inner and outer flues are started, press section
A onto section B firmly until all lances have snapped into
place. Check to make sure they have snapped together (see
Figure 2.7) and the seams are not aligned (see Figure 2.8).
Tug slightly on section A to confirm it has completely locked
into place.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction
from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be
put in the outer flue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent
the elbow from rotating.

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. • Cinch Pipe & Term Caps • 4033-900 Rev K • 05/05 7
Assemble Minimum Installation (MI) Sections
MI sections are non-unitized so that they can be cut to a
specific length. Cut these sections to length from the non-
expanded end (see Figure 2.9).
They can then be attached by first connecting the expanded
end of the MI inner flue with the inner pipe from the adjacent
pipe section and securing with three screws. The expanded
portion of the MI inner flue must overlap completely with the
unexpanded end of the adjacent pipe section.
The outer flue can then be inserted into the adjacent outer
flue expanded end and attached to the next pipe section with
three screws. The other end of the MI pipe section can then
be attached by fitting another pipe section to it and snapping
it together, as normal.
Assemble Slip Sections
The outer flue of the slip section should slide over the outer
flue of the pipe section and into (inner flue) the last pipe sec-
tion (see Figure 2.10) .
Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a
1-1/2 in. outer flue overlap is maintained between the pipe
section and slip section.
The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving two
screws through the overlapping portions of the outer flues
using the pilot holes (see Figure 2.11).
This will secure the slip section to the desired length and
prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be at-
tached to the next pipe section.
If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer flues of the
slip section can be cut to the desired length.

Secure the Vent Sections
Vertical sections of pipe must be supported every 8 ft after
the 25 ft maximum unsupported rise. The vent support or
plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this
(see Figures 2.12 and 2.13).
Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 ft with
a vent support or plumber’s strap.
D. Disassemble Vent Sections
To disassemble any two pieces of pipe, rotate either section
(see Figure 2.14), so that the seams on both pipe sections
are aligned (see Figure 2.15). They can then be carefully
pulled apart. Figure 2.12 Securing Vertical Pipe Sections

instructions
• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.
• Do NOT allow vent to sag below
connection point to appliance.
• Maintain specified slope (if required).
Improper support may allow vent to sag or
separate.

• Local codes may require installation of a
cap shield to prevent anything or anyone
from touching the hot cap.
WARNING
Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap
without using the telescoping flue section found on the
termination cap.
WARNING
Fire Risk

Impaired performance of appliance.
• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 2 in.
• Use pilot holes for screws.
• Screws must not exceed 1 in. long.
• Pipe may separate if not properly
joined.
WARNING
E. Install the Heat Shield and Horizontal Termination Cap
Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal Termination
For all horizontally vented appliances, a heat shield MUST
be placed 1 in. above the top of the vent between the wall
shield and the base of the termination cap.
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section at-
taches to the wall shield with two screws. The remaining
section is attached to the cap in the same manner. See
Figure 2.16.
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 in.
heat shield overlap, an extended heat shield must be used.
The extended heat shield will need to be cut to the thickness
of the wall and be attached to the wall shield. The small leg
A 1-1/2 in. minimum overlap MUST be maintained on
the telescoping flue section of the cap.
WARNING
Note: Where required, an exterior wall flashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is
available for framing the brick.

Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding
may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
Caulk the outside edges of the cap.
When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap
location guidelines as prescribed by current ANSI Z223.1
and CAN/CGA-B149 installation codes.

Install Attic Insulation Shield
• Frame opening for attic insulation shield.
• Attic insulation shield may be installed above or below
ceiling (see Figure 2.18).
• Secure with three fasteners on each side.
• Fold tabs at top of attic shield in toward vent pipe. Tabs
must keep vent pipe centered within shield.
• Field construct additional shield height if insulation is
deeper than height of attic shield.

Keep loose materials or blown insulation
from touching the vent pipe.
• National building codes recommend using
attic shield to keep loose materials/blown
insulation from contacting vent.
• Hearth & Home Technologies requires
the use of an attic shield.
WARNING
Install the Firestop Spacer
• Frame an opening 10 in. by 10 in. whenever the vent
system penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 2.17).
• Frame the area with the same sized lumber as used in
ceiling/floor joist.
• When installing a top vent vertical appliance the hole
should be directly above the appliance, unless the flue is
offset.
• Do not pack insulation around the vent. Insulation must
be kept away from the pipe.

G. Install Roof Flashing and Vertical Termination Cap
To attach the vertical termination cap, slide the inner collar
of the cap into the inner flue of the pipe section and place

section.
Secure with three screws into the outer flue. Secure the cap
by driving the three self-tapping screws (supplied) through

Wrap the storm collar around the exposed pipe section and
align brackets. Insert a bolt (provided) through the brackets
and tighten nut to complete the storm collar assembly (see
Figure 2.22). Make sure the collar is tight against the pipe
section.
Slide the assembled storm collar down the pipe section until
it rests on the roof flashing (see Figure 2.19).
Caulk around the top of the storm collar.
