3.7 Vent and Combustion Air Piping
This water heater requires a special vent system, designed for pressurized venting.
The water heater is to be configured for either direct vent installation or for installation using
room combustion air. When room combustion air is considered, see Chapter 6 of the AM Series
User Manual,
GF-146
.
Vent and air may be vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall, unless otherwise
specified. You may use any of the vent/air piping methods covered in Chapter 6 of the AM
Series User Manual,
GF-146
.
Be sure to locate the unit such that the vent and air piping can be routed through the building
and properly terminated.
The vent/air piping lengths, routing and termination method must all comply with the methods
and limits given in Chapter 6 of the AM Series User Manual,
GF-146
.
