Improper support could allow vent to sag and separate. 

Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per in-

stallation instructions. 

DO NOT

 allow vent to sag below 

connection point to appliance. 

•  Vertical runs originating off the top of the appliance, with 

no offsets, must be supported every 8 feet (2.44 m) after 

the maximum allowed 25 feet (7.62 m) of unsupported 

rise.

•  Vertical runs originating off the rear of the appliance, or 

after any elbow, must be supported every 8 feet (2.44 

m). 

•  Horizontal runs must be supported every 5 feet (1.52 m).
•  Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart) 

may be used to support vent sections. See Figures 7.8 

and 7.9.
