clamps, ensuring that they are fastened

tightly around the vent. Each support clamp

beyond the first must be rotated. To calculate

the angle of rotation, divide 180 by the total

number of support clamps required.

4. Once the vent stack has been lowered into

the chimney, install a steel support plate over

the top of the chimney. Run the tension wires

through the anchors as shown in Figure 10.

5. Install a FasNSeal storm collar on top

of the steel support plate. Use silicone to

seal around the base of the collar as well as

the around the diameter of the vent. The

breaching through which the horizontal vent

passes can be covered and sealed with a

FasNSeal firestop.

6. Install a FasNSeal rain cap to terminate the

1. The adapter with the blue gasket is the

Female Flex Adapter and designed for the

top of the flex liner. The Adapter without the

blue gasket is the Male Flex Adapter and is

designed for the bottom of the flex liner. If

field cutting the liner make sure the cut

is square.

2. Make 4 marks on both ends of liner 90°

apart 1 ½” from each end as shown in Figure

11. These marks will act as the reference

point for when the adapters are fully seated

onto the flex liner.

3. Do a dry fit by pushing the liner into the

adapters until it bottoms out.

4. Apply RTV 500 silicone in the channel of

the Male Flex Adapter adapter (between the

inner and outer tubes) as seen in Figure 12.

5. Place adapter on liner (the inner tube fits

inside the liner and the outer tube fits outside

the line). The adapter when properly seated

IMPORTANT

When installing FasNSeal Flex the

direction of exhaust flow is away

from the appliance. There is an arrow

printed on each section of liner and

components that will point in the

direction of the

exhaust gas. If the liner is installed

correctly the proper direction can be

determined by running your fingernails

up the inside wall of the liner. If the

direction is correct your nails will catch

at the seams of the inner wall. If it is

incorrect your nails will slide smoothly

across the inner surface.
