I am trying to install Sellkirk flexible vent onto my water heater and I’m getting confused as to which end connects to the water heater and which end attaches to the existing vent pipe. The flexible pipe has two ends one of which is a male one of which is female but I don’t know which is which. One end has an inner and outer pipe and the other and only has one pipe. Which end of the pipe is female and whiether male or female attaches to the water heater. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Brian

Photos of each end are attached

The female end goes over the draft hood.

The male end attaches to the existing vent line.

I looked it up on Home Depot’s website. They have the installation guide on the product page.

Thanks. That’s exactly what I needed. The instruction sheet from the company showed it attach to other pipes so that it was difficult to see which one was which. But the diagram above where is it on is standing on by itself makes it very clear. It’s now installed and we have hot water again. 😄
