Instructions and Requirements for Installing a Vertical Vent Terminal/Combustion Air Inlet
(Requires Concentric Adapter Kit, Option CC2)
Vertical Vent Terminal/Combustion Air Package
(Option CC2) includes:
Field-supplied installation requirements:
•
Thimble (a thimble is not required if wall is of non-
combustible construction)
• Flashing
• Vent pipes (see requirements on pages 4 and 6)
• Combustion air pipes (see requirements, pages 4 and 6)
• Mounting brackets for concentric adapter box (or box
may be mounted flush, depending on building construc-
tion)
• Taper-type reducers as required (see requirements on
page 6)

2. Prepare the concentric adapter box.
2a) Determine whether field-supplied brackets are required. If used, attach
brackets securely; do not leave any unsealed holes in the adapter box.
If brackets are not used, when in-
stalled, the box should be tight against
the roof.
2b) Install the rubber seal and the
vent pipe. Locate the vent pipe open-
ing and place the rubber seal around
and over the edge of the metal.
Determine the length of the section of
vent pipe by adding the requirements.
On the heater side of all Sizes except
CAUA 250, the vent pipe must ex-
tend no more than 6" (152mm) (length

Installation Instructions for Option CC2
1. Determine the location for the vent terminal on the roof, allowing room for the
concentric adapter box inside. A thimble may or may not be required depending
on building construction and/or local codes. Prepare a hole through the roof for
the combustion air pipe (Sizes 150 and 200, pipe is 6"; Sizes 250-400, pipe is 8").
The air inlet pipe must be flashed or sealed to the roof. Flashing is to be supplied
by the installer as required by roof construction and/or codes.
WARNING: All vent terminals must be positioned or
located away from fresh air intakes, doors and windows to
preclude combustion products from entering occupied
space. See Hazard Levels, Page 2.
