THROUGH THE WALL AND ROOF
•
A heater that is vented indoors is classified as
Category I by the National Fuel Gas Code.
•
At least 4 CFM of exhaust per 1,000 BTUH (.38 m
3
per minute per kW) must be provided. Supply and
exhaust air must be provided by natural or
mechanical means. For Canada see CANADIAN
ADDENDUM section.
•
For supply and exhaust air by natural means, fresh
air/ exhaust openings are required.
•
Fresh air openings should be below the indoor
venting kit.
•
Exhaust openings must be located above the
heaters.
•
For supply and exhaust air by mechanical means,
provision must be made so the flow of gas to the
heater is allowed only when the mechanical
exhaust is in operation.
•
Combustion air must not be provided directly from
outdoors to the inlet air collar on the burner. (For
exceptions see COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY).

•
A heater vented directly outdoors is classified as
Category III by the National Fuel Gas Code.
•
It may be vented through either the roof or wall
singularly or in conjunction with no more than one
other heater with a single thermostat. To commonly
vent more than two heaters consult the factory.
•
Use 4 in. (10.2 cm) I.D. single wall stainless or
galvanized sheet metal pipe of not less than 26
gauge (.044 cm) (or other factory approved
materials). Place seam at the top.
•
Use RTV silicone adhesive sealant liberally at all
vent pipe joints.
•
Use three (3) #6 sheet metal screws per vent pipe
joint – 120° apart starting on top.
•
1 inch (2.5 cm) thick pipe insulation wrapped
around the single wall sheet metal pipe is
recommended.
•
By code, the use of dual wall pipe for outdoor
venting is limited to appliances with neutral or
negative pressures. Local authorities may waive
this provision since the heaters are approved for
indoor venting with proper exhaust and leakage
due to condensation being greatly reduced.
•
Be certain to get approval for either type of vent
piping from local authorities.
•
Vent pipes must be well supported due to the extra
stress that occurs during expansion of the unit
when operating.
•
Vent caps must be identical, or equal, to those
specified in this manual which are of the
Metalbestos brand. This is critical to the heater’s
operation and to maintain C.S.A. certification.
•
Heater must not be vented in between buildings
less than 10 feet (3.0 m) apart or above public
walkways, doors or windows.
