Equivalent feet for elbows — deduct from maximum equivalent length of piping:
• 7 feet per for each 4-inch elbow & 2 or 3-inch 90° long-radius or 45° elbow
• 16 feet for each 2- or 3-inch short-radius elbow
a — Use 3"x2" reducer at boiler b — Use 3”x2” PVC reducers at termination
c —
Use 4”x3” reducer at boiler
d —
Use 4"x3" PVC reducers at termination
Stainless (AL29-4C) vent pipe — install an adapter at the boiler for all applications.
Also install an adapter at the termination unless using separate-pipe termination.
** Ultra-80 and 105 boilers installed with 2-inch vent piping automatically derate due
to the pressure loss in the vent and air piping. The derate ranges up to 10% for the
Ultra-80 at 100 feet or 15% for the Ultra-105 at 100 feet.

using adapters specifically designed for the purpose by
the manufacturer.
