WARNING: Moisture in the flue gas will condense as it leaves the flue
outlet. In cold weather this condensate can freeze on the exterior wall,
under the eaves and on surrounding objects. Some discoloration to the
exterior of the building is to be expected. However, improper location or
installation can result in severe damage to the structure or exterior finish of
the building. Code requirements are subject to change and may vary by
location.
● Twelve (12) inches above grade level and above normal snow levels.
● Four (4) feet below, or four (4) feet horizontally from any door, window, soffit,
under eave vent or gravity air inlet to the building or other appliances, or from
gas or electric meters. Do not locate vent above walkways, doors, windows, air
inlets, gas or electric meters or other equipment.
● Ten (10) feet from any forced air inlet to the building. Any fresh or make-up air
inlet such as for a dryer or furnace area is considered to be a forced air inlet.
● Eighteen (18) inches from an inside corner formed by two exterior walls.
● DO NOT install Flue outlet under any patio/deck or too close to shrubbery, as
flue gases or condensate vapor may become a nuisance or hazard and may
cause property damage. Condensate vapor could cause damage and be
detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
● To help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and under eaves, do not locate
vent terminal on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. The water
heater must be located as close as practicable to a chimney or gas vent.
● Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within six (6) feet of vent terminal.
● All painted surfaces should be primed to lessen the chance of physical
damage. Painted surfaces will require maintenance.
● Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core CPVC, or Radel
(polyphenylsulfone) in non-metallic venting systems is prohibited. Covering
non-metallic vent pipe and fittings with thermal insulation is prohibited.
● DO NOT connect to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to
burn solid fuel.
WARNING:
Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must comply
with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70.
