Figure 6.: Z-Vent iii Connection to Vent Collar
i) Align the second piece of pipe with the first and push them together as far as they will go, but not less
than 1-3/4”.
j) Tighten gear clamp to a minimum torque of 40 in-lbs and a maximum of 50 in-lbs.
k) Repeat Steps (h) – (j) for the remaining Z-Vent III components.
l) In horizontal vent systems, a locking band or gear clamp must be used at either side of the wall penetration
to prevent shifting of the vent system in and out of the wall. This applies to both combustible and non-
combustible walls.
n) Allow the silicone to cure per the silicone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the boiler.
6) Assembly of Heat Fab Saf-T Vent EZ Seal:
a) Saf-T Vent General Notes:
These instructions cover the installation of Saf-T Vent EZ Seal. Saf-T Vent EZ Seal piping has integral
gaskets installed in the female ends of the pipe which seal the joints.
• In general, Saf-T Vent pipe sections may not be cut. Exceptions to this are the Saf-T Vent slip
connector and connections to the boiler vent collar. In these cases, use a sharp pair of aviation snips, an
abrasive cut-off, or a plasma cutter. See the Saf-T Vent instructions for information on cutting the
slip connector.
• Orient Saf-T Vent components so that the arrows on the piping labels are in the direction of flue gas flow.
• Support horizontal piping sections at intervals of 6 feet or less.
• Vertical venting systems must be supported by at least one Heat Fab support. An additional vertical
support is required after any offset.
b) Connection to Boiler – Start assembly of the vent system at the boiler. Remove the hose clamp shipped on the
CHG vent collar. Bend the three hose clamp tabs on this collar outward slightly. Cut the male
spigot” off of the first piece of pipe (Fig 6.9). If necessary, crimp the cut end of the pipe so that it can
be inserted at least 1” into the collar. Clean the exterior of the male end of the first piece of pipe and the
inside of the vent collar on the boiler with an alcohol pad. On the male end of the pipe, apply a ¼” wide
bead of high temperature silicone approximately ½ inch from the male end of the pipe. Also apply a ¼”
bead of silicone along the first 2 ½” of the longitudinal weld. Insert the male end of the pipe into the boiler
vent collar until it bottoms out. Apply an additional bead of silicone over the outside of the joint and
smooth out (Fig 6.9). Replace and tighten the clamp on the vent collar.
c) Assembly of Saf-T Vent EZ Seal Vent Components - Clean the male end of the next piece of pipe with an
alcohol pad and make sure that it is free of burrs. Check the female end of the first piece of pipe to make
sure that the gasket is in place and is undamaged. Using a slight twisting motion, insert the male end of the
second fitting into the female end of the first fitting, taking care not to dislodge or cut the factory gasket.
In extremely arid conditions, it may be easier to assemble these fittings if the gasket is moistened with
water prior to assembly. Bend the locking tabs over the locking ring on the adjacent piece of pipe. Repeat
these steps for the remaining Saf-T-Vent components.
