Cut and framethe 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall wherethe vent will be terminated. If the wall beingpenetrated is constructed of non-combustiblematerial, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a7"(178mm) diameter (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. forflex) hole is acceptable.Note:a) The horizontal run of vent must be level, orhave a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of runtowards the termination. Never allow thevent to run downward. This could causehigh temperatures and may present thepossibility of a fire.b) The location of the horizontal venttermination on an exterior wall must meetall local and national building codes, andmust not be blocked or obstructed. See"Exterior Vent Terminal Locations" Section.c) Snorkel Terminations:For installations requiring a vertical rise onthe exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations and the RiserVent as shown in Dia. 2 & 2a are available.Follow the same installation procedures asused for standard Horizontal Termination.NEVER install the snorkel upside down.Below Grade Snorkel InstallationIf the Snorkel Termination must be installedbelow grade, i.e. basement application,*As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code.Local codes or regulations may require differentclearances.Diagram 2proper drainage must be providedto prevent water from entering theSnorkel Termination.
