pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner fl ue is not
required.

C. Secure the Vent Sections
• Vertical runs of SLP pipe must be supported every 8 ft.
(2.44 m).
• 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 Figures 8.5 and 8.6.
• Wall shield fi restops may be used to provide horizontal
support.
• SLP ceiling fi restops have tabs that may be used to
provide vertical support.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Improper support may allow vent to sag and separate.
Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per in-
stallation instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below
connection point to appliance.
