Below Grade Snorkel Installation
 
 
If the Snorkel Termination must be 
installed below grade, i.e. basement 
application, proper drainage must be 
provided to prevent water from enter-
ing the Snorkel Termination. Refer to 
Dura-Vent Installation instructions for 
details.. Do not attempt to enclose the 
Snorkel within the wall, or any other type 
of enclosure.
4)  Install wall penetration heat shield in the 
center of the 9-1/2" round hole and attach 
with wood screws. The four wood screws 
provided should be replaced with appropri-
ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or 
other types of sidings. Dia. 3.
NOTE: For Snorkel terminations  in ABOVE  
grade installations, follow national or 
local code requirements.

5)   If installing termination on a siding covered 
wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips 
must be used to ensure that the termination 
is not recessed into the siding.  Dia. 3.
6)  Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate 
the Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front 
by removing 8 screws as shown in diagram 
4.
7)  Install the Backing Plate into the wall 
penetration heat shield and attach using 4 
screws. Dia. 4.
8)  Connect all pipe sections to unit and install 
into wall:
 a)  Measure pipe length required and cut 
to length. Hint: use the cut end of the 
6-5/8" dia. outer pipe at the vent terminal 
end.
 b)  Push the pipe sections completely 
together, the minimum pipe overlap is 
 
 
1-1/4".  Secure all outer pipe joints by 
using at least two screws. Locate the 
screws at the bottom of the pipe so that 
the screw heads are hidden on the fi nal 
installation. Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to 
inner pipe and high temp silicone seal-
ant or "Mill-Pac" to outer pipe on every 
joint.
 
Hint: Apply sealant to female end.
 c)  Before connecting the vent pipe to the  
vent termination, slide the black deco-
rative wall thimble cover over the vent 
pipe, then slide the Wall Penetration 
Heat Shield (Part # 946-202) over the 
vent pipe. Dia. 3.
 d)  Slide the appliance and vent assembly 
towards the wall carefully inserting the 
vent pipe into the riser vent terminal 
assembly. It is important that the vent 
pipe extends into the Riser Vent Back-
ing Plate a suffi cient distance so as to 
result in a minimum pipe overlap of
  1-1/4 
inches. 
Secure 
the 
connection 
between the vent pipe and the vent cap 
by attaching the two sheet metal strips 
extending from the Riser Vent Backing 
Plate into the outer wall of the vent pipe. 
Use two aluminum screws provided to 
connect the strips to the pipe section. 
Bend any remaining portion of the sheet 
metal strip back towards the vent cap and 
cut off any excess, it will be concealed 
by the decorative wall thimble cover. See 
diagram 5.
8)  Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the 
wall surface being careful not to scratch the 
paint.  See diagram 5.
9)  Back outside: Apply sealant to the 4" inner 
fl ue and slide the Riser Vent Front into the 
Backing Plate and fasten with 8 screws.
 IMPORTANT:
 
When connecting the pipe to the Riser 
Vent, apply Mill-Pac to the inner pipe on 
the Riser Vent Terminal, around the bead. 
Ensure that the vent pipe is pushed past 
the bead for a secure fi t. 
10) Seal around the outer edge of the Riser Vent 
Backing Plate.
