Venting / Combustion Air Ducting
Vented Operation
In all cases, be sure vent pipes and outside air supply ducts are sealed with approved sealant, such as high
temperature RTV silicone. Double wall venting (B vent) may not require sealant.
Horizontal Venting
•
When venting through combustible walls, use approved vent terminal Tjernlund VH1-4, or SRP
supplied deflector vent terminal with an approved insulating thimble.
•
When venting through non-combustible walls, use SRP supplied deflector vent terminal.
Recommended extension of the terminal past the outside wall surface is 18" inches minimum.
Figure 27: Horizontal Venting
Vertical Venting
•
Minimum vent pipe size is 4" inch for an individual heater. Additional vent pipe sizes as required
to accommodate multiple heaters venting through a common roof vent are defined in the
appropriate gas installation code. (Refer to common venting section below).
•
Use of an approved thimble to pass through combustible roof materials is required.
•
Use of an approved vent cap is required.
•
Check local codes for vertical vent size for fan-assisted appliances.
Common Vertical Venting
•
Common vent sizing information is defined in the appropriate gas installation code (Refer to
ANSI Z223.1 and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 for sizes and installation information).
•
For vertical venting refer to ANSI Z223.1 and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Fan Assisted
Category 1 Appliances.
•
Connection locations to the common vent should be offset to avoid pressure interferences between
heaters, refer to ANSI Z223.1 and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Fan Assisted Category 1
Appliances.
