Vertical Direct Vent Installations
The EVERHOT
®
IGI series water heater can also be installed to vent vertically through the roof using a
vertical discharge adaptor, optional vent extension tubes, a condensate collector, a roof terminal, and a
universal lead tile. In addition to the total equivalent feet limit of 41 feet (12.5 m), the maximum height of
the venting system is limited to 21 feet (6.4 m). A condensate collector is required on all vertical venting
heights over 5 feet (1.5 m). Determine the distance in height required from the water heater and order
the vent extension pipes required.
Vertical Vent Installations
Figure 10
The condensate collector will require a ¾” CPVC pipe connection with a trap to act as a seal against
discharging flue products into the room. Run the condensate line to a suitable drain. The condensate
collector must be located within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the water heater vent connection.
NOTICE
The Condensate Collector must be located within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the water heater vent connection.
CAUTION
A trap must be installed after the condensate connection to prevent flue products from leaking into the
room.
