Installation Code CSA B149.1 - latest revision.
Exhaust end of heater will accept a 4'' (10 cm) vent
pipe using the vent adapter (P/N 90502701). To
prevent leakage of condensation, install the vent
adapter with the seam on top and seal the joint using
a high temperature silicone sealant.

all single wall flue pipe.
Any portion of vent pipe passing through a
combustible wall must have an approved thimble
to conform with the above listed codes.
Vent pipe must be sloped downward away from the

The heater may be individually vented or common
vented. When venting horizontally, a maximum of
two heaters can be commonly vented.
. When venting vertically, a maximum of
four heaters can be commonly vented.
The heater may also be installed unvented in certain
circumstances according to building ventilation
codes. Refer to the above codes
for further information. Unvented
operation also requires compliance with the
clearances to combustibles given
The bottom of the vent or air intake terminal shall not
be located less than 1' (0.3 m) above grade level.
The vent shall not terminate less than 7' (2.1 m)
above grade where located adjacent to public
walkways.
Vent terminal must be installed at a height sufficient
to prevent blockage by snow, and building materials
protected from degradation by flue gases.
Secure all joints with #8 x 3/8 sheet metal screws.
Seal all joints with high temperature silicone sealant.
Vent terminal must be beyond any combustible
overhang.
