Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping 

Terminations for Direct Vent Installations

NOTE: 

In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken 

from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to outdoors.

NOTE: 

Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adversely 

affect  some  building  materials.  If  any  vent  termination 

is used and the flue gases may impinge on the building 

material, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches 

square)  must  be  used  to  protect  the  wall  surface.  If  the 

optional  tee  is  used,  the  protective  shield  is  required. 

The  shield  should  be  constructed  using  wood,  plastic, 

sheet  metal  or  other  suitable  material. All  seams,  joints, 

cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an 

appropriate sealant. See Figure 39.

Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally 

through and outside wall or vertically through the roof. In 

attic or closet installations, vertical termination through the 

roof is preferred. Figure 36 through Figure 44 show typical 

terminations.

1.  Intake and exhaust terminations are not required to be 

in the same pressure zone. You may exit the intake on 

one side of the structure and the exhaust on another 

side (Figure 37). You may exit the exhaust out the roof 

and the intake out the side of the structure (Figure 38). 

2.  Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close 

together  as  possible  at  termination  end  (refer  to 

illustrations).  Maximum  separation  is  3”  (76  mm) 

on  roof  terminations  and  6”  (152  mm)  on  sidewall 

terminations.

3.  On roof terminations, the intake piping should terminate 

straight down using two 90° elbows (see Figure 36).

4.  Exhaust  piping  must  terminate  straight  out  or  up  as 

shown.  A  reducer  may  be  required  on  the  exhaust 

piping  at  the  point  where  it  exits  the  structure  to 

improve the velocity of exhaust away from the intake 

piping. See Table 7.

NOTE: 

Care  must  be  taken  to  avoid  recirculation  of 

exhaust back into intake pipe.

for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508 mm) for 3” (76 mm) 

PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping should be 

as short as possible. See Figure 39.
