ARNING
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearance to
combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3” at the top and 1” at the sides and bottom
of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall (1” required). A
1” minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained at outside wall and on
vertical runs. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This
could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
*Unless the vertical run is 7
Z\x
feet or higher (top vent units only), the clearances for the
horizontal run is 1” at the top.
