• Horizontal sections must be supported every 5 feet
(1.52 m).
• Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart)
may be used to support. See fi gures 10.5 and 10.6.
• Wall shield fi restops may be used to provide horizontal
support.

• Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions
in “Assembling Pipe Sections.”
NOTICE: If slip section is too long, the inner and outer fl ues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
NOTICE: When installing a vent system with an HRC
termination cap, all pipe system joints shall be sealed using
a silicone sealant with a minimum of 300ºF continuous
exposure rating.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner fl ue is not
required.
• All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
fl ues shall be sealed.
• Maintain a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap between the slip
section and the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm), using the pilot holes in the
slip section. See Figure 10.4.
