When installing the appliance as a rear vent unit, the 90°, 45° transition elbow
attached directly to the rear of the unit is Not INCluDeD in the following
criteria and calculations, and unless specifically mentioned should be ignored
when calculating venting layouts.
•
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall
installation is three (3).
Figure 20
•
If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace
flange, the maximum horizontal vent run before the ter-
mination or a vertical rise is 36" (914 mm).

•
If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level
height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced
by 36" (914 mm) (Fig. 1 A and B) This does not apply if
the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical
rise.
Figure 22
Example: According to the vent graph (page 17) the maxi-
mum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5' vertical
rise is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the hori-
zontal vent it must be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).
In Figures 22 and 24,
Dimension A plus B must not be
greater than 17' (5. m).
