1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Secure the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching
the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent
termination cap assembly into the outer wall of the
vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided
to connect the strips to the pipe section (Figure 5.9).
