INSTALLATION OF HORIZONTAL THROUGH THE
WALL VENT SYSTEM
If you are installing your system so that it vents through roof, please
refer to section titled VERTICAL VENT TERMINAL INSTALLATION.
VENT TERMINAL INSTALLATION, SIDEWALL
1. Install the vent terminal by using the cover plate as a template to
mark the hole for the vent pipe to pass through the wall. BEWARE
OF CONCEALED WIRING AND PIPING INSIDE THE WALL.
2. If the Vent Terminal is being installed on the outside of a finished
wall, it may be easier to mark both the inside and outside wall.
Align the holes by drilling a hole through the center of the
template from the inside through to the outside. The template
can now be positioned on the outside wall using the drilled hole
as a centering point for the template.
3. A) MASONRY SIDE WALLS
Chisel an opening approximately one half inch (1.3 cm) larger
than the marked circle.
B) WOODEN SIDE WALLS
Drill a pilot hole approximately one quarter inch (0.64 cm)
outside of the marked circle. This pilot hole is used as a starting
point for a saws-all or sabre saw blade. Cut around the marked
circle staying approximately one quarter inch (0.64 cm) outside
of the line. (This will allow the vent to easily slide through the
opening. The resulting gap will be covered up by the Vent
Terminal wall plate.) Repeat this step on inside wall if necessary.
Cut a length of pipe about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) longer than the wall
thickness at the opening. Glue the vent terminal to this section
of pipe. Slide the wall plate over the pipe to stop against the vent
terminal. Place a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the gap
between the pipe and cover plate. Apply enough to fill some of
the gap between the pipe and wall. Place some of the caulking on
the back of the plate to hold it against the wall after installation.
If the vent pipe is installed up to the wall, with a coupling on the
end against the wall opening, the pipe with the vent terminal can
be prepared for gluing before inserting through the wall. Slide the
pipe through the wall and insert into the coupling on the other side
of the wall, making sure that the vent terminal ends up pointed in
the correct position, see Figure 12.
Figure 12: VENT TERMINATION
VENT PIPE TERMINATION
The first step is to determine where the vent pipe will terminate. See
Figures 12 through 20. The vent may terminate through a sidewall
as shown in Figures 12, 14 and 15 or through the roof as shown
in 18, 19 and 20.
The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are
maintained as cited in local codes or the current edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1, 12.9.1 through 12.9.4). See
Figure 16 and Figure 17.
Instructions on proper installation through a sidewall are provided
in Figures 12, 14 and 15.
Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearances are
maintained from plumbing and wiring.
Vent pipes serving power vented water heaters are classified by
building codes as vent connectors. Required clearances from
combustible materials must be provided in accordance with
information in this manual under Locating The Water Heater and
Installation Requirements, and with the National Fuel Gas Code
and local codes.
PLANNING THE VENT SYSTEM
Plan the route of the vent system from the exhaust elbow to the
planned location of the vent terminal.
1. Layout total vent system to use a minimum of vent pipe and elbows.
2. This water heater is capable of venting flue gases in equivalent
feet of pipe as listed in Table 7.
Table 7
Number of
90° Elbows
2” Maximum
Pipe - ft. (m)
3” Maximum
Pipe - ft. (m)
1 40 (12.19) 120 (36.57)
2 35 (10.66) 115 (35.05)
3 30 (9.14) 110 (33.52)
4 25 (7.62) 105 (32)
5 20 (6.09) 100 (30.48)
6 15 (4.57) 95 (28.95)
The minimum vent length for each of the pipe size is one 90° elbow
plus 2’ and 7’ (0.61 m and 2.1 m) of straight pipe for air intake and
exhaust vent respectively and the appropriate termination.
NOTE: The equivalent feet (m) of pipe listed above are exclusive
of the termination. That is, the termination, with an installed
screen, is assumed to be in the system and the remainder of
the system must not exceed the lengths and number of elbows
shown in Table 7.
If using 2” inch vent pipe: A 2” diameter vent pipe must be
inserted and fastened to the exhaust elbow assembly.
If using 3” inch vent pipe: Two inches (5.1cm) of 2” diameter pipe
must be inserted and fastened to the exhaust elbow assembly
before adding a 2’ x 3” reducer to acquire the desired pipe
diameter. A 3” coupling (supplied locally-a schedule 40 DWV)
vent terminal must be obtained. A 3” diameter screen is supplied
in the vent kit.
