WARNING: Use UL approved
Category III vent material
only. No other vent material is
permitted. Owner must refer to
vent manufacturers instructions
and speci cations. Z-Flex
information can be found at
www.nova ex.com, refer to page
18 for additional links.
CAUTION: Follow the vent
manufacturers installation
instructions as design might vary
om manufacturer to
manufacturer.
Only the 2” vent kit provided with the FVI12 or approved Z-Flex
Stainless Steel venting should be used for installation.
The wall thimble requires mechanical support from the wall suf-
fucuent to support any incidental loads on the system. If the wall is
not su cient enough to support the wall thimble, then appropri-
ate additional framing and/or blocking is required.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
Prepare an opening for the wall thimble in the wall. The opening
must be 6-1/2 inches in diameter for a 3” vent system. The opening
should be round.
The opening must be able to accommodate the 2” vent system and
wall thimble provided. Consult manual or building codes for distance
from amable materials.
The wall thimble is designed to adapt to any wall thickness from
3-1/2” to 6” thick. If the wall is thicker than 6” the wall thimble may
be extended using a piece of 6” diameter snaplock or welded seam
galvanized pipe up to 6” long.
Select the larger diameter half of the wall thimble for the outside of
the wall.
Apply a continuous bead of high quality silicone or silicone/la-
tex caulk on the inside of the outer ange. This will be the only
weather seal to keep moisture outside the building. Ensure a
su cient seal is made.
Position this portion of the wall thimble into the prepared hole
from the outside. Secure the assembly into the prepared open-
ing using fasteners as indicated by sheathing or structural mem-
bers, sealing the screw heads with more caulking.
Use 4 hollow wall anchors, at least 1/8” in diameter and of appropri-
ate length for the thickness of the sheathing, if sheathing is particle
board or other composite material. Use 4 #10x1-1/4” wood screws
for plywood, solid wood sheathing or members. Use suitable mason-
ry anchors when passing through solid masonry walls. Reinstall the
decorative sheathing around the wall thimble. This assembly may be
painted to match the exterior decor.
Slide the interior portion of the thimble into the inside hole. Be
certain the interior and exterior thimble halves overlap at least
1”. If insu cient overlap exists, extend the interior portion with
single wall galvanized pipe.
Secure the vent section that protrudes through the wall thimble
to the 90 degree elvbow attached to the water heater.
The exhaust pipe should be sloped downward at an approximate
3 degree grade in order to avoid rain (or condensation entering
the heater) through the exhaust pipe.
