Vent Adaptor for High Altitude Installations

Freeze prevention

In cold climates, components of a tankless water heater can 
freeze and burst from negative draft. A leading cause of 
negative draft is combustion appliances in the building not 
being supplied with sufficient combustion air. A wood stove or 
furnace can pull its combustion air from the water heater‘s vent 
pipe, allowing the cold incoming air to freeze the cold water in 
the heat exchanger. Supplying more combustion air for all 
combustion appliances is the solution. A HVAC specialist 
should be consulted to design solutions for providing more 
combustion air.

In cold climates where backdraft is a problem, the freeze 
prevention kit accessory (7709003775) should be installed.

Masonry chimney

Masonry chimneys shall be built and installed in accordance 
with NFPS 211 or local codes. A minimum 5" diameter gas vent 
pipe (metal double wall Type B), or an approved clay flue liner 
or a listed chimney lining system must be used when venting 
into a naturally drafting, internal masonry chimney. 6 inch is 
required in elevations greater than 2000 feet, see Fig.  6. Local 
codes may require the use of both gas vent and an approved 
lining system when venting into a masonry chimney. The 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the use of a listed 
liner. Lining systems include approved clay flue lining, a listed 
chimney lining system or other approved material that will 
resist corrosion, erosion, softening, or cracking from exhaust 
flue gases at temperatures up to 1800 degrees F. The lining 
system must be listed for use with naturally drafting, draft hood 
equipped gas appliances. Follow local codes and refer to NFGC 
54 and NFPA 58. 

Existing interior masonry chimney

The metal gas vent pipe should be permanently mounted inside 
the masonry chimney. Double wall Type B gas vent is 

recommended. The masonry chimney may have to be tile or 
metal lined before the insertion of the gas vent pipe; check local 
codes for clarification. The lining material must be listed for use 
only with naturally drafting, draft hood equipped gas 
appliances. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation 
of listed lining material. You may not vent any other fuel burning 
appliances into any free space remaining in the chimney. The 
minimum vertical gas vent length within the masonry chimney 
must be no less than 5 ft (1.5 m); the vent terminator must 
extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m) above where the chimney meets 
the roofline and at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any vertical 
wall or similar obstruction within 10 feet (3.1 m). The top of the 
gas vent must have an approved vent terminator. See Fig. 12.
