WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!
Follow
instructions below when
determining vent location to
avoid possibility of severe
personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!
Do not
connect any oher appliance
to the vent pipe or multiple
heaters to a common vent
pipe. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property
damage.
Installation must comply with local
requirements and with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for
U.S. installations or CSA B149.1 for
Canadian installations.

12.12.1 - Determine
location
Locate the vent/air terminations using
the following guidelines:
1. The total length of piping for vent or
air must not exceed the limits given
in the Section 12.3.
2. The vent must terminate at least
3 feet above the highest place in
which the vent penetrates the roof
and at least 2 feet above any part
of a building within 10 horizontal
feet.
3. The air piping must terminate in a
down-turned 180° return pipe no
further than 2 feet from the center
of the vent pipe. This placement
avoids recirculation of flue products
into the combustion air stream.
4. The vent piping must terminate at
least 1 foot above the air intake.
The air inlet pipe and vent pipe can
be located in any desired position
on the roof, but must always be no
further than 2 feet apart and with
the vent termination at least 1 foot
above the air intake.
5. Locate terminations so they are
not likely to be damaged by foreign
objects, such as stones or balls,
or subject to buildup of leaves or
sediment.
12.12.2 - Prepare roof
penetrations
1. Air pipe penetration: cut a hole for
the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole
as close as desired to the air pipe
outside diameter.
2. Vent pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the vent pipe.
For either combustible or
noncombustible construction,
size the vent pipe hole with at
least a 1/2 inch clearance around
the vent pipe outer diameter;
b. Insert a galvanized metal thimble
in the vent pipe hole.
3. Space the air and vent holes to
provide the minimum spacing
shown in Figure 12-22 and listed in
Section 12.12.1.
4. Follow all local codes for isolation
of vent pipe when passing through
floors, ceilings, and roofs.
5. Provide flashing and sealing boots
sized for the vent pipe and air pipe.
12.12.3 - Termination and
fittings
1. Prepare the vent termination and
the air termination elbow (Figure
12-22) by inserting bird screens.
2. The air piping must terminate in a
down-turned 180° return bend as
shown in Figure 12-22. Locate the
air inlet pipe no further than 2 feet
from the center of the vent pipe.
This placement avoids recirculation
of flue products into the combustion
air stream.
3. Maintain the required dimensions
of the finished termination piping as
shown in Figure 12-22.
4. Do not extend exposed vent pipe
outside of building more than
shown in Figure 12-22. Condensate
could freeze and block vent pipe.
