When installing the appliance as a rear vent unit, the
90° or 45° Transition Elbow attached directly to the
rear of the unit is NOT INCLUDED in the following cri-
teria and calculations, and unless specifically men
-
tioned should be ignored when calculating venting
layouts.
• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall in-
stallation is three (3).
Figure 22
• If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace
flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the ter-
mination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm).
Figure 23
• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level
height maintained) the horizontal vent length is re-
duced by 36” (914 mm).
Figures 23 & 24.
This does
not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or
redirect a vertical rise.

Maximum horizontal run with no rise
Example:
According to the vent graph (Page 14) the
maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 71/2’
(2.3 m) rise is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2 m).
In
Figures 25 & 26
, dimension A plus B must not be great-
er than 17’ (5.2m)
• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per in-
stallation is six (6). These elbows can be installed in
either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the
length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18”
(457 mm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are
installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is
270°.

Elbow 1 = 90°
Elbow 2 = 45°
Elbow 3 = 45°
Elbow 4 = 90°
