Horizontal Termination Configurations

Figures 15 and 16 show a configuration for

venting with horizontal termination with a chart

of critical minimum and maximum dimensions

which MUST be met.
If using a venting configuration of only hori

zontal venting with no vertical run, a ¼'' rise

for every 12'' of run toward the termination

is required.

NOTICE: Do not seal termination

cap to vent pipe. Cap must be

removable for vent inspection

and maintenance.

WARNING: Never run vent

downward as this may cause

excessive temperatures which

could cause a fire. Operation of

improperly installed and main

tained venting system could

result in serious injury, property

damage or loss of life.
