Since it is very important that the venting system main-
tain its balance between the combustion air intake and
the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent con-
figurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical
and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the
various dimensions allowable.
Page 16
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combus-
tible materials is 3" on top and 1" from bottom and
sides unless otherwise noted
(Exception: Outside wall
with firestop: 1" all around pipes are allowed)
.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than
0" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with
the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes
the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent
pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the
transition elbow) to the face of the outer wall or the mount-
ing flange of the termination.
