Position the horizontal vent termination cap in the center of
the 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole and run a
bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so
as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination
cap to the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided.
The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Figure
5.6).

(2) A termination cap with a built-in vinyl siding standoff is
highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding. The
pilot hole will be 2 in. (51mm) closer to the bottom of the
square than the top. Using a framing square, draw a 14
in. x 14 in. (356mm x 356mm) square around the pilot
hole in the siding. See Figure 5.7 on the next page.

Step 3.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a
10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.

(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, a snorkel kit is available with a 14 in.
(356mm) and a 36 in. (914mm) tall snorkel termination
cap. Follow the same installation procedures as used
for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel
termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement
application), proper drainage must be provided to
prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do
not backfill around snorkel termination.
