1. The maximum vent length is 13 feet (4 m) with 3 bends. The bent pipe attached to the furnace does
not count toward the max limit of 3 bends.
2. For altitudes at or below 2000 feet (610 m), the maximum vertical length is 8 feet (2.4 m). For altitudes
above 2000 feet (610 m), the maximum vertical length is 5 feet (1.5 m).
3. If the extension is longer than that shown in the table below, the condensate may overflow the
condensation pan. Therefore, extensions exceeding this length should drain to the outside and sloped
3° downward.
4. Do not allow any low points or sagging in the exhaust line. Otherwise, condensate may block the
exhaust and affect combustion.
5. Vent extensions installed in unconditioned air space must be insulated with high temperature insulation
and must be accessible.
6. Vent extensions must not be concealed per NFPA 54 and must be accessible allowing inspection and
repair. Decorative covers are available from Rinnai.
7. Clearances:
Exhaust pipe to combustibles: 1 in. (25.4 mm) Exhaust pipe to non-combustibles: 0 in. (0 mm)
Configurations
The following figures show the three possible ways that the extension exhaust line and air intake hose may
be directed away from the furnace. All 3 views are from behind the furnace. For your configuration, position
the air intake hose as shown in the following figures.
