pipe. Such conditions must be considered and where necessary insulation of the inlet pipe may
be required. In cold and/or humid weather water vapor may condense when leaving the vent
terminal. The effect of such condensation must be considered. The terminal must be located in
a place not likely to cause a nuisance.
Maintain 12” of clearance above the highest anticipated snow level or grade, whichever is
greater. Please refer to your local codes for the snow level in your area.
The whole route of the vent system must be installed upwards and NEVER completely nor
partly downwards.
4.22.2 Minimum and Maximum Wall Thickness
The label at right, which is placed on the
unit,
indicates the minimum and maximum wall thickness
through which venting is allowed to penetrate
horizontally
. However, if venting is
vertical
, then there
is no minimum wall thickness.
4.23 VENT PIPE SIZING
The maximum length is the combined length of straight horizontal and vertical runs, and the
equivalent straight length of fittings. The required lengths for each boiler are as follows:
