CAUTION
To prevent the possible re-circulation
of fl ue gases, the vent designer must
take into consideration such things
as prevailing winds, eddy zones,
building confi gurations, etc. It is the
responsibility of the installer to locate
the exhaust duct in such a way that it
does not become blocked due to snow,
ice, and other natural or man-made
obstructions.
Do not locate the vent termination too
close to shrubbery as fl ue products may
stunt their growth or kill them.
FIGURE 10 - VENTING TERMINATIONS
Wall Thimble Installation
Adhere to the following for installation (see Figure 11):
1. The thimble is inserted through the wall from the outside. Secure the
outside fl ange to the wall with nails or screws, and seal with adhesive

2. Install the inside fl ange to the inside wall, secure with nails or screws, and
seal with adhesive material.
3. Pass the vent pipe through the thimble from the outside and join to the
rest of the vent system.

5. Install two pipe retaining clamps around the intake as well as vent pipes
on both ends of the wall thimble (on the inside and outside of the wall)
through which intake and vent pipes are passed. They will prevent the
intake and vent pipes from being pushed or pulled.

1. The vent termination is joined to the vent pipe outside the wall. Use the
same joining procedures for vent pipe and fi ttings. The termination of the
