Venting continued-
The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as
cited in local codes or the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.73.4e and 7.8a, b as follows:
1. Do not terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where
condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property
damage.
2. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or vapor
could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators,
relief valves, or other equipment.
3. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or walkways
where condensate or vapor can cause nuisance or hazard.
4. The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12”
(25.4 cm)
above expected
snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent termination.
Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as
“vent connectors”. Required clearances from combustible materials must be
provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF
WATER HEATER and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code and
local codes.
Clearance to combustibles for all venting pipes
and terminals
For installations in the US
0” minimum
For installations in Canada
Refer to vent pipe and terminal
manufacturer’s installation
instructions for clearances to
combustibles
DO NOT place insulation or other materials in the required clearance spaces
between the venting to combustible material unless otherwise specified.
WARNING
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire due to joint separation
or pipe breakage.
This water heater must be properly vented and connected to an
approved vent system in good condition.
DO NOT operate water heater
with the absence of an approved vent system. A clean and
unobstructed vent system is necessary to allow noxious fumes that
could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward
maintaining the water heater’s efficiency. The acceptance of the venting
system is dependent upon full compliance with these installation
instructions.
Venting system must
NOT pass through rated fire separations.
The venting system must be free to expand and contract. This venting
system
must be supported in accordance with these instructions.
