iV. Venting
B. CPVC/PVC Venting (continued)
Extend vent/combustion air piping to maintain minimum vertical (‘X’) and minimum horizontal (‘Y’) distance of
twelve (12) inches (18 inches Canada) from roof surface. allow additional vertical (‘X’) distance for expected
snow accumulation.
Figure 13: Direct Vent - Vertical Terminations
with Sloped roof
• Size roof opening to allow easy insertion
of combustion air piping and allow proper
installation of flashing and storm collar
to prevent moisture from entering the
structure.
- Use appropriately designed vent flashing
when passing through roofs. Follow
flashing manufacturers’ instructions for
installation procedures.
- Extend combustion air pipe to maintain
minimum vertical and horizontal distance
of twelve (12) inches from roof surface.
Allow additional vertical distance for
expected snow accumulation. Provide
brace as required.
- Install storm collar on combustion
air pipe immediately above flashing.
Apply Dow Corning Silastic 732
RTV Sealant between combustion
air pipe and storm collar to provide
weather-tight seal.
• Install Rodent Screen and Combustion
Air Terminal (supplied with boiler), see
Figure 10 for appropriate configuration.
• Brace exterior piping if required.
