c.  The vent pipe may run up as high as 4 feet, as shown in Fig-

ure 18 right side, with no enclosure. The vent pipe must be 
secured with braces, and maintain all required clearances.

d.  Space braces no further than 24 inches apart. (See WARNING 

below for extremely cold climates.)

e.  External venting greater than 4 feet requires an enclosure 

around the vent pipe. The vent termination must exit through 
the enclosure as shown in Figure 18, maintaining all required 
clearances.

Do not exceed the maximum length of the outside vent 
piping shown in Figure 18. Excessive length exposed to 
the outside could cause freezing of condensate in the vent 
pipe, resulting in potential boiler shutdown. In extremely 
cold climates, install an insulated chase around the vent 
piping, particularly when using longer lengths. The chase 
must allow for inspection of the vent pipe, and insulation 
must be protected from water.

options and minimum clearances

2.  Consider the surroundings when terminating the vent:

a.  Position the vent termination where vapors will not damage 

nearby shrubs, plants or air conditioning equipment or be 
objectionable.

b.  The flue products will form a noticeable plume as they con-

dense in cold air. Avoid areas where the plume could obstruct 
window views.

c.  Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and water/

ice buildup where flue products impinge on building surfaces 
or plants.

d.  Avoid possibility of accidental contact of flue products with 

people or pets.

e.  Do not locate the terminations where wind eddies could affect 

performance, such as inside building corners, near adjacent 
buildings or surfaces, window wells, stairwells, alcoves, court-
yards or other recessed areas.

clearances from vent exit to forced air 
intake

f.  Do not terminate above any door or window or 

under a deck. Condensate can freeze, causing ice 
formations.

g.  Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate damage 

to exterior finishes.

3.  Maintain clearances as shown in the illustrations in this 

manual section. Also maintain the following:
a.  Vent must terminate:

s

At least 6 feet from adjacent walls.

s

No closer than 5 feet below roof overhang.

s

At lease 3 feet above any forced air intake within 
10 feet.
