The concentric termination may be shortened,
but not lengthened from its original factory supplied length.
Terminate at least 12" (300mm) above grade or above snow line.
Terminate at least 7' (2.1m) above a public walkway,
6' (1.8m) from the combustion air intake of any
appliance, and 3' (0.9m) from any other building
opening, gas utility meter, service regulator etc.
Terminate at least 3' (0.9m) above any forced air inlet
within 10' (3m), 1' (0.3m) below, 1' (0.3m) horizontally
from or 1' (0.3m) above any door, window, or gravity
air inlet into any building per National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1.
Slope the horizontal vent 1/4" upwards for every 12" (300mm).
Use a condensation drain if necessary.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a carbon
monoxide detector is required for all side wall
horizontally vented gas fuel equipment.
Please refer to Technical Bulletin TB 010606 for full
installation instructions.

* 4" (100mm) pipe requires the use of a reducing coupling
just prior to the termination.

3" (75mm) or 4" (100mm) PVC or CPVC pipe
may be used with the concentric termination.
Maintain the same vent pipe diameter from the
water heater flue to the termination.
Do not exceed the maximum vent lengths as
specified in this section.
When using 4" (100mm) pipe, it will be necessary to use
4" (100mm) x 3" (75mm) reducing couplings and a short
section of 3" (75mm) pipe to connect to the termination.
Use no more than a 6" (150mm) section of pipe to
make the connection between the reducing
couplings and the termination.
•
Install a securing strap to prevent movement of the termination.
Strap
1" (25mm) to
4" (100mm)
Insert Bird Screen **

** Not supplied with
water heater,
order separately.
There must be a 1" (25mm) to 4" (100mm) clearance
between the outside wall and the air intake section
of the termination as illustrated on the left.
