Vent Terminal Location

1. Condensate  can  freeze  on  the  vent  cap.  Frozen

condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked

flue condition.

2. Give special attention to the location of the vent

termination  to  avoid  possibility  of  property  dam-

age or personal injury.

3. Gases  may  form  a  white  vapor  plume  in  winter.

The plume could obstruct a window view if the ter-

mination is installed near windows.

4. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake

shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, includ-

ing normal snow line.

NOTE:

During  winter  months  check  the  vent  cap

and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of

snow or ice.

Support of Vent Stack

The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest

on the heater vent connection. Support must be pro-

vided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent

should also be installed to maintain proper clearances

from  combustible  materials.  Use  insulated  vent  pipe

spacers  where  the  vent  passes  through  combustible

roofs and walls.

When using PVC or CPVC venting on models 300A,

400A and 500A, insert the vent pipe 3-5 inches into the

flue outlet and provide rigid support to the vent, so that

it will not shift laterally.

5. Single-wall Category IV metal vent pipe shall not

be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas-

fired equipment without insulation.

6. Through-the-wall  vents  for  Category  IV  appli-

ances shall not terminate over public walkways or

over  an  area  where  condensate  or  vapor  could

create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimen-

tal to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or

other equipment.

6. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent acci-

dental contact by people or pets.

7. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell,

alcove, courtyard or other recessed area.

9. DO  NOT  terminate  above  any  door,  window,  or

gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing

ice formations.

10. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from

damaging  exterior  finishes.  Use  a  300-series

stainless  steel  backing  plate  against  brick  or

masonry surfaces.

11. DO  NOT  extend  exposed  vent  pipe  outside  of

building  beyond  the  minimum  distance  required

for the vent termination. Condensate could freeze

and block vent pipe.

NOTE:

When  using 

PVC  “T”  vent  termination

,

insert the two round stainless mesh screens provid-

ed with the unit into the tee.
