Vent specifications

Install appliance as close to point of vent termination as possible. The 
exhaust piping must vent directly to the outside of the structure.
Horizontal sections of vent must pitch upward towards termination ¼" 
for every foot of horizontal length, to prevent the pooling of condensate, 
and be supported at 4 foot intervals with overhead hangers.
Exception: horizontal run between last elbow and termination must 
pitch down to termination 1/4" per foot. Note: For horizontal 
terminations, venting must terminate once it penetrates to the outside of 
the structure. There must be no sections of vent pipe exposed to the 
outdoors other than the termination. Note: Listed thimbles or collars are 
necessary where venting passes through wall and ceiling partitions. If 
the vent system passes through combustible areas where the vent 
clearance requirements cannot be maintained, consult local codes. The 
distance to combustibles using this chase technique is 1 inch. Note: 
Type-B vent must never be used as the actual exhaust vent system for 
the appliance, as it is not gas tight and illegal for use with this appliance. 
This will create a serious health hazard and void the warranty.

For specific questions concerning vent material, specifications, usage or 
installation, please contact the vent manufacturer directly.

Condensate drain requirements

An external condensate drain (not supplied with the heater) must be 
installed under the following conditions:

• All vertical terminating vent installations.
• Horizontal terminating vent installations where the total linear vent 

length is greater than 10 feet (3.1 m) for 3" and 5 feet (1.5 m) for 4".

• Vent installations where any section of the exhaust vent pipe passes 

through an unconditioned space.

Twin pipe termination clearances

The minimum clearance between exhaust vent and combustion air inlet 
terminations for twin pipe penetration is 3 feet.

Minimum combustion air and exhaust pipe length

The minimum exhaust pipe length is 1 foot (0.3m) of straight vent pipe. 
The minimum combustion air pipe length is one 90° elbow.

Maximum combustion air and exhaust pipe length

The following tables display the maximum allowable straight pipe 
lengths for combustion air and exhaust piping with consideration to the 
number of elbows used. Reduce the equivalent length for each elbow 
used from the maximum allowable length depending on the system 
used.

Use of elbows

It is recommended to limit the amount of elbows used in the exhaust and 
combustion air piping to reduce friction in the air flow. The following lists 
the maximum amount of 90° elbows allowed in either the exhaust or 
combustion air piping:
