Non-direct
vent
installations require only a vent/flue pipe.
The vent pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through
the side of the building or run vertically with an exit through
the roof of the building. The vent can also be run through
an existing
unused
chimney; however, it must extend a
minimum of 12 inches above the top of the chimney. The
space between the vent pipe and the chimney must be closed
with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
Although
non-direct
vent
installations do not require a
combustion air intake
pipe
, a minimum of one 90° elbow
should be attached to the furnace’s combustion air intake
if
: an upright installation uses the standard intake location,
or a horizontal installation uses the alternate air intake
location. This elbow will guard against inadvertent blockage
of the air intake.

NOTE:
For installations at or above 7,000 feet altitude, use
3” venting. If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used
for termination, it must be pointed downward.
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows,
and pipe diameter for construction of the vent/flue pipe
system of a non-direct vent installation. In addition to the
vent/flue pipe, a single 90° elbow should be secured to the
combustion air intake to prevent inadvertent blockage. The
tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included when
determining the number of elbows in the piping system.
1) Maximum allowable limits listed on individual lengths
for inlet and flue and NOT a combination.
2) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is five (5)
feet in length and one elbow/tee.
3) Tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included
when determining the number of elbows in the piping
system
4) 2 1/2” or 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2”
diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg.
Long Sweep elbows should be considered equivalent to
one 90 deg. elbow.
6) One 90° elbow should be secured to the combustion air
intake connection.
7) For installations at or above 7,000 feet altitude, use
3” venting.
Vent/Flue Pipe Terminations
NOTE:
If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for
termination, it must be pointed downward.
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a
roof, or horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in
the following figure. Refer to
Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion
Air Pipe - Termination Locations
for details concerning
location restrictions. The penetration of the vent through
the roof must be sealed tight with proper flashing such as is
used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown
in the following figure. Refer to
Vent/Flue Pipe and
Combustion Air Pipe.
To secure the pipe passing through
the wall and prohibit damage to piping connections, a coupling
should be installed on either side of the wall and solvent
cemented to a length of pipe connecting the two couplings.
The length of pipe should be the wall thickness plus the depth
of the socket fittings to be installed on the inside and outside
of the wall. The wall penetration should be sealed with
silicone caulking material.
NOTE: Terminate both pipes in the same pressure zone
(same side of roof, no major obstacles between pipes,
etc.).
