Two 

venting options are available: Direct Vent and Non-Direct Vent (Room Air).  

Concentric Pipe 

Combustion air and exhaust vent directly 
through a single concentric connection. Hot 
exhaust exits through the interior pipe, 
while combustion air enters through the 
outer pipe. 

Twin Pipe 

Combustion air and exhaust vent 
directly through separate penetrations. 

See the Direct Vent section for complete details.
