Chapter 3 — Flue and Combustion Air Venting

Part No. 750-295

Figure 3-10  Direct vent combustion

3.10-MAXIMUM VENT LENGTHS

Based on horizontal venting. Size flues based on design draft calculations. Maximum allowable draft
tolerance is +/- 0.25" w.c. Recommended design draft tolerance for individual vented flues at +/- 0.10"
w.c.

Maximum combustion air pressure drop is 0.25" w.c.

Each additional 90° elbow equals 5 equivalent feet of ductwork. Flue terminations may add 5-10 feet to the equivalent length and should also be included in the 
equivalent length calculation.

Draft tolerance at boiler flue connection during operation is +/-0.25” W.C.; Use +/-0.10” when designing venting system.

*Maximum vent length assumes horizontal run and sidewall terminations. Larger diameter venting, vertical flue runs, and vertical flue termination may allow for longer vent 
lengths than indicated here, provided the engineered draft calculations are within the allowable operational tolerance of +/-0.25” W.C.
