Figure 70: Multi-Story Vent Pipe Installation
NOTES:
1. If an
offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe
every 3’ (914 mm) using wall straps to avoid excessive stress on the elbows.
2. Use 45
°
degree elbows instead of 90
°
degree elbows when ever possible. The 45
°
degree elbow
offers less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake air.
