Poly-Propylene vent pipe (PP) by Duravent and Centrotherm.
NOTE - Concentric terminations are the equivalent of 5’ and should be considered when measuring pipe length.
NOTE - Maximum unisulated 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 13 or TABLE 14 which ever is less.
NOTE - If insulation is required in an unconditioned space, it must be located on the pipe closest to the furnace. See FIGURE 31.
