Appliance Adapter (AAV)
The appliance adapter (AAV) adapts DIRECT-TEMP to
most direct vent appliances incorporating outlet collars
configured to receive most common 4” (ID) 6⁵⁄₈” (OD) or
5” (ID) by 8” (OD) “Twist Lock” Style, direct vent sys-
tems.
The adapter incorporates two (2) indentations on the
outer wall of the inlet end, which are designed to “Twist
Lock” into place upon attachment to the appliance
outlet. Align the adapter indentations with the entry
slots of the appliance outlet and slide together. Turn the
adapter clockwise approximately one-quarter turn to
lock in place. The outlet end of the adapter is standard
DIRECT-TEMP construction.

Use of Sealant
It is not required to apply or use sealant on the inner
liner of DIRECT-TEMP. For outer wall joint sealing
considerations, follow appliance manufacturer recom-
mendations.
Joint Connection:
The pipe and elbows are assembled by inserting the
outlet (male) end of a length of pipe or elbow into the in-
let (female) end of an adjacent length of pipe or elbow.
Make sure the outlet end is fully seated within the inlet
end of the adjoining section and the gasket, located on
the inner liner of the inlet section is fully enclosed by the
inner liner of the outlet of the adjoining section. Push
in the Lock Tab such that it becomes seated within the
inward groove of the adjoining section. This locks the
joint in place. (Fig. 34)
Supporting DIRECT-TEMP: Vertical Support
Vertical installations can be supported by two methods:
Ceiling Support (CS) (used in flat ceiling installation)
comes with a support plate and a support collar. Install
