Cementing PVC, ABS OR CPVC Pipe and Fittings
Read and observe all safety information printed on primer,
cleaner, and cement containers.
All primers, cleaners, and cements must meet all local
codes and applicable standards of the American Society
For Testing Materials Standards.
Before using primers, cleaners, and cements, stir or shake,
making sure contents are liquid. Do not use if found to be
lumpy or jelly-like.
1. Cut pipe ends squarely removing all burrs and dirt.
2. Dry fit pipe and fittings to be connected for proper fit.
3. Clean pipe and fitting with a primer/cleaner.
4. Apply a thin coat of cement to fitting, avoiding puddling
inside.
5. Apply a liberal coat of cement to pipe leaving no voids.
6. QUICKLY assemble parts while cement is fluid! If you
wait too long, re-coat pipes.
7. Push pipe completely into socket of fitting, turning as it
goes until it bottoms.
8. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds. Then care-
fully clean off excess with a cloth. Allow connections a
sufficient time to cure before disturbing.
9. Remember that vent pipes must be adequately and
securely supported.

CUTTING OPENINGS THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL
AND COLLAR INSTALLATION
After reading the manual and you have determined the
location of the opening in the wall, (using the drawing
below), cut one 3 1 ⁄
2
″ diameter hole for the inlet vent pip-
ing and one 3 1 ⁄
2
″ diameter hole for the outlet vent piping
through an exterior wall.
NOTE: When determining location of the openings in the
outside wall allow for the 1 ⁄
8
″ rise per five feet that has
taken place in the horizontal run.
VENT PIPE SEPARATION
The inlet and outlet vent pipes must be separated by a min-
imum distance of 6 1 ⁄
2
inches up to 24 inches maximum.
6 1 ⁄
2
″ MIN.
24 ″ MAX.
The 3 ″ PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent pipe can be
run from the water heater through the wall or from the wall
to the water heater, whichever is most convenient. The vent
pipe must extend a minimum of 1 1 ⁄
2
″ through the exterior
wall. Extending the vent cap as far as possible from the sur-
face of the exterior wall will help minimize discoloration of
the wall. Note that the inside flue mounting adaptors must
be slipped over the vent piping before locating the pipe
through the wall. Before securing the inside and outside
collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and
opening to insure a water and air tight seal.

PRECAUTIONS
Always store primers, cleaner, and cements in cool, dry,
well ventilated places. Do not store them near heat,
sparks, or flames. Keep containers closed. Use them in
well ventilated areas. Wear impervious clothing while
handling. Do not smoke, eat, or drink while handling.
Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating. Wear
eye protection when handling. If swallowed, drink water,
do not induce vomiting, and call a physician or poison
control center immediately. If inhaled, get fresh air and
seek medical attention if ill feelings persist. In case of eye
and skin contact, immediately flush with plenty of water
for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation
persists. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DANGER
Primer, cleaner, and cements are extremely flammable.
They are harmful or fatal if swallowed. The vapors are
harmful. They may irritate eyes and skin and can be
absorbed through the skin.
