The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions
concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and
combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations.
Refer to Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct
Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping located in this section for specific
details on termination construction.
• All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at
least 12 inches above ground level or the anticipated
snow level.
• Vent terminations (non-direct and direct vent) must
terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet
located within 10 feet.

• The vent termination of a non-direct vent application
must terminate at least 4 feet below, 4 feet
horizontally from, or 1 foot above any door, window, or
gravity air inlet into any building.
• The vent termination of a direct vent application must
terminate at least 12 inches from any opening through
which flue gases may enter a building (door, window,
or gravity air inlet).
• The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically
through a roof must terminate at least 12 inches
above the roof line (or the anticipated snow level) and
be at least 12 inches from any vertical wall (including
any anticipated snow build up).
• A vent termination shall not terminate over public
walkways or over an area where condensate or
vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could
be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief
valves, or other equipment.

Some models require the use of 3” pipe. Do not transition
from a 2” to 3” pipe in a horizontal section of pipe as this
may create a water trap.
Piping must be adequately secured and supported to
prohibit sagging, joint separation, and/or detachment from
the furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be
supported every three to five feet and must maintain a 1/4
inch per foot downward slope, back towards the furnace, to
properly return condensate to the furnace’s drain system.
Allowances should be made for minor expansion and
contraction due to temperature variations. For this reason,
particular care must be taken to secure piping when a long
run is followed by a short offset of less than 40 inches.
Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from
freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue
pipe termination. All vent/flue piping exposed to freezing
temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time
must be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Also
all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the
terminations shown in this manual (or in unheated areas)
must be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Inspect
piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.
