Minimum and maximum shutter settings are set up to appear like Figure 4.18.
• Minimum vent run consists of enough horizontal vent pipe to exit 2 X 6 wall construction (approximately 8 inches).
• Maximum vent run consists of “H Maximum” on Figure 4.18.
Note:
All vent runs may need to be evaluated for ideal shutter settings. Shutter distances may vary due to vent run, fuel
quality, and elevation.
