
Ensure all vent connections are installed, properly connected, and sealed air tight per
manufacturer’s instructions.

Any vent pipe seams should be installed so they are oriented on the top of horizontal pipe
runs.

Slope exhaust piping towards the exhaust terminal with a 2% slope (1/4 inch per foot; 19
mm/ m) to ensure rain or any accumulating condensate near termination are drained.

A condensate collector is required for this system when there is a vertical vent configuration.
A condensate collection point should be installed on the vertical run of piping just prior to
the heater to ensure proper condensate drainage. Check with local codes for proper
disposition and handling of condensate water, an air gaped drain is usually required and in
some cases a condensate neutralization system is also required.

Do not store hazardous or combustible materials near the vent piping

Ensure the air intake and vent termination points are at least 12” (300 mm) above any
possible snow accumulation level. The flows must not be impeded by snow or debris.

Ensure the air intake and vent termination points are at least 24” (600 mm) from any
obstruction or other objects.
The exhaust pipe must maintain adequate clearances and be insulated with a fireproof material if
it passes through walls made of flammable materials. Consult local codes and vent pipe
manufacture documentation for proper material selection and installation requirements.
If the heater will be installed in a building that has a system that maintains
a negative pressure, it is possible for a back-draft to allow outside air to be
pulled into the heater while not in operation. This can create a situation where freezing might
occur within the heater. Please consult a professional for a properly designed venting solution or
contact American Hometec for guidance.
AIR INTAKE PIPE ASSEMBLY
1.
Drill 2 small holes at the end of the air intake pipe.
2. Slide the pipe over the air intake terminal.
3. Using a level, ensure the pipe is straight up and down.
4. With self tapping screws, attach the pipe to the air intake terminal.
5. Apply a bead of silicone around the pipe and air intake terminal, ensuring an air tight
connection.
EXHAUST VENT PIPE ASSEMBLY
1.
Use manufactures universal Adapter to connect the vent pipe to the unit.
2. Then follow the Manufactures vent pipe assembly guidelines and standard vent pipe location
selection diagram below.
