Vertical Vent System Design

See Figure 13 for the general vertical stainless steel venting configuration. For the purposes of this manual, a “vertical
exhaust system” is a Category III vent system that exits the structure through a roof.

Approved Systems – Use one of these four approved vent systems:

•

Flex-L-International

Star-34

•

Z-FLEX

SVE SeriesIII

(“Z-Vent III”)

•

Heat Fab

Saf-T Vent

•

ProTech Systems

FasNSeal

Vent Pipe Size:

•

BWF061 to BWF162– 3”

•

BWF195, BWF229 – 4”
