Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application,
proper drainage must be provided to pre-
vent water from entering the Snorkel Ter-
mination. Refer to Dura-Vent Installation
instructions for details.. Do not attempt to
enclose the Snorkel within the wall, or any
other type of enclosure.
4) Install wall penetration heat shield in the center
of the 9-1/2" (241mm) round hole and attach
with wood screws. The four wood screws
provided should be replaced with appropriate
fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other
types of sidings. Dia. 3.
NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or
local code requirements.

5) If installing termination on a siding covered
wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips
must be used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding. Dia. 3.
6) Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate the
Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front by
removing 8 screws as shown in diagram 4.
7) Install the Backing Plate into the wall
penetration heat shield and attach us-
ing 4 screws. Dia. 4.
8) Connect all pipe sections to unit and
install into wall:
a) Measure pipe length required and
cut to length. Hint: use the cut end
of the 6-5/8" (168mm) dia. outer
pipe at the flue terminal end.
b) Push the pipe sections completely
together, the minimum pipe overlap
is 1-1/4" (32mm). Secure all outer
pipe joints by using at least two
screws. Locate the screws at the
bottom of the pipe so that the screw
heads are hidden on the final instal-
lation. Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to
inner pipe and high temp silicone
sealant or "Mill-Pac" to outer pipe on
every joint.
Hint: Apply sealant to female end.
c) Before connecting the flue pipe to
the flue termination, slide the black
decorative wall thimble cover over
the flue pipe, then slide the Wall
Penetration Heat Shield (Part # 946-
202) over the flue pipe. Dia. 3.
d) Slide the appliance and flue assem-
bly towards the wall carefully in-
serting the flue pipe into the riser
vent terminal assembly. It is impor-
tant that the flue pipe extends into
the Riser Vent Backing Plate a suf-
ficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure the
connection between the flue pipe
and the flue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending
from the Riser Vent Backing Plate
into the outer wall of the flue pipe.
Use two aluminum screws provid-
ed to connect the strips to the pipe
section. Bend any remaining por-
tion of the sheet metal strip back
towards the flue cap and cut off
any excess, it will be concealed by
the decorative wall thimble cover.
See diagram 5.
8) Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the
wall surface being careful not to scratch
the paint. See diagram 5.
9) Back outside: Apply sealant to the 4" (102mm)
inner flue and slide the Riser Vent Front into
the Backing Plate and fasten with 8 screws.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting the pipe to the Riser
Vent, apply Mill-Pac to the inner pipe
on the Riser Vent Terminal, around
the bead. Ensure that the flue pipe is
pushed past the bead for a secure fit.

10) Seal around the outer edge of the Riser
Vent Backing Plate.
