VENTING

THROUGH

AN

OUTSIDE

WALL

WITH

LOW GROUND CLEARANCE

1. When the vent piping cannot pass through an outside wall at

a height greater than or equal to 12" above the ground (or
above snow accumulation level), then the installation can be
modified as shown below.

2. Refer to the tables below for maximum vent lengths for low

ground clearance installations. All installations assume the use
of two additional 90“ elbows and the standard 45“ vent cap

with screen outside of the exterior wall.

One 90° elbow equals 5 feet of equivalent vent length.

CEMENTING PVC, ABS OR CPVC PIPE AND

FITTINGS

Read and observe all safety information printed on primer,
cleaner, and cement containers.

ADANGER

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.

A 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 cloth*

ing while handling. Do not smoke, eat, or drink while
handling. Wash thoroughly after handling and before

eating. Wear eye protection when handling. If swal­

lowed, 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, imme­
diately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes and
seek

medical

attention

if

irritation

persists.

KEEP

OUT OR REACH OF CHILDREN.

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, mak­
ing 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 carefully

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.
