JOINT PROCEDURE (see illustration #1 and images 1, 2 & 3 below) The female end of each Z-Vent III component incorporates a silicone sealing gasket. Examine all components to insure that gasket integrity has remained during shipping. Gaskets must be in the proper position or flue gases could leak resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning. 1. Align pipes and push them together as far as they will go (to indent or at least 1.75 inches). 2. Tighten gear clamp to a minimum torque of 40 in/lbs.

2. The system can now be assembled through the thimble (attach the termination first - note “UP” arrow) and then back to the appliance as per illustration using JOINT PROCEDURE as described on page #3. A gear clamp (or locking band) must be installed around the pipe on the inside of wall to trap pipe in position so that the system cannot be moved in or out of wall (see images 4 & 5). This applies to both combustible and non-combustible walls IMAGES 4 & 5 3.

VERTICAL VENTING (see illustrations #3 & 4) NOTE: The vent termination above the roof line shall consist of a continuous section of vent pipe only (without any joints) and must be at least 3 ft. (1 m) to a maximum of 6ft. above the roof line and 2 ft. (.61 m) higher than any part of a structure within 10 ft. (3.1 m).

(see illustration #6) NOTE: When Z-Vent must be extended above the roof line more than six (6) feet the Guy Band must be used to support the system. 1. Install the Guy Band below the Rain Cap using the 10-24 screw and nut provided. 2. Attach stainless steel or galvanized cable with a minimum rated capacity of 500lbs. to each of the four anchor holes. 3.

EXISTING MASONRY CHIMNEY (see illustration #5) NOTE: A masonry chimney flue may be used to route Z-VENT if no other appliance vents directly into the same flue without a liner. Prior to beginning the installation, be sure that the existing chimney meets all national and local building codes. The chimney must be cleaned, removing all soot, debris and creosote before installing Z-VENT. 1.

APPLIANCE CONNECTION Refer to the appliance manufacturer's installation manual for proper method of joining Z-VENT to the appliance collar. An appliance adapter to suit specific requirements may be obtained from Z-FLEX. IMPORTANT NOTICE When any of the previous installation procedures are completed, be sure to go over the entire system to make sure all joints are secure and sealed correctly. The seams and joints must be checked for tightness prior to using the venting system.
