Step 1. 
Determine the desired location of the appliance. Check to 
ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when 
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may 
want to adjust the location of the appliance.
Figure 5.4
Step 2.  
Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking connection. To 
connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a 
twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory.  
Wall thickness may vary.  Remember to include wall 
thickness in minimum clearances when figuring venting 
lengths for your installation needs.
Note:  Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are designed 
to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes by 
orienting the  pipe indentations so they match and slide into 
the  entry slots on the male ends, see Figure 5.4.  Push 
the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one 
section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the 
two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs may 
not be visible from the outside. They may be located by 
examining the inside of the female ends.
