Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non-
Direct Vent Applications
Exhaust pipe may be routed either horizontally through
an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or
closet installations, vertical termination through the roof
is preferred. Figure 38 through Figure 41 show typical
terminations.
1. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed
in Table 7. The specified pipe size ensures proper
velocity required to move the exhaust gases away
from the building.
2. On field supplied terminations for side wall exit,
exhaust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches
(305 mm) for 2” PVC and 20” (508 mm) for 3” (76 mm)
PVC beyond the outside wall. See Figure 39.
3. If exhaust piping must be run up a sidewall to position
above snow accumulation or other obstructions, piping
must be supported every 24” (610 mm) as shown in
Figure 40. When exhaust piping must be run up an
outside wall, any reduction in exhaust pipe size must
be done after the final elbow.

NOTE − Do not discharge exhaust gases directly into any chimney
or vent stack. If vertical discharge through an existing unused
chimney or stack is required, insert piping inside chimney until the
pipe open end is above top of chimney and terminate as illustrated.
In any exterior portion of chimney, the exhaust vent must be
insulated.
