Vent length in table is equivalent length. Each elbow is equivalent to 5ft. of straight pipe and should be included when measuring
total length.
NOTE- Maximum uninsulated vent lengths listed may include the termination (vent pipe exterior to the structure ) and cannot exceed
5 linear feet or the maximum allowable intake or exhaust vent length listed in Table 5A through Table 5D or Table 6A through Table
6B.
NOTE - If insulation is required in an unconditioned space, it must be located on the pipe closest to the furnace. See Figure 33.
NOTE - Concentric terminations are the equivalent of 5’ and should be considered when measuring pipe length.
