COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR (cont.)
VERTICAL VENT SYSTEMS:
1. A gas vent shall terminate above the roof surface with a listed
cap or listed roof assembly. Gas vents 12 inches in size or
smaller with listed caps shall be permitted to be terminated in
accordance with Figure 15, provided they are at least 8 feet
from a vertical wall or similar obstruction. All other gas vents
shall terminate not less than 2 feet above the highest point
where they pass through the roof and at least 2 feet higher
than any portion of a building within 10 feet.
2. A type B-1 gas vent shall terminate at least 5 feet in vertical
height above the highest connected equipment draft hood or
flue collar.
3. Must rise

” per foot away from the furnace on horizontal runs
and be supported with straps or hangers so it has no sags or
dips. Supports at 4 foot intervals and at all elbows are recom-
mended.
4. The vent connector must be mechanically fastened to the out-
let collar of the furnace with at least (2) sheet metal screws ex-
cept vent connectors that are B-1 material. These shall be
assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
See Figures 16 and 17.
5. Any angle greater than 45 degrees from the vertical is consid-
ered horizontal. The total horizontal distance of a vent plus the
horizontal vent connector serving draft-hood equipped appli-
ances shall not be greater than 75 percent of the vertical
height of the vent.
Single appliance venting of a fan assisted furnace into a tile-lined
masonry chimney is prohibited. The chimney must be lined with
either Type B vent or with a listed, single wall, metal lining sys-
tem. Reference National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or the
Natural Gas Installation Code, CSA-B149.1 & .2. See Figure 18
for typical B-1 vent chase.
NOTE:
A chimney adapter is available as an accessory (see ac-
cessory section of this manual). Follow manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
