Installation & Operation Manual
•
Vent opening should be well away from landscaping
or other obstructions that would prevent free air flow
to and from vent terminal.
• Do not
terminate vent under decks, stairs, or car ports.
• Do not
use the appliance to support the vent pipe.
•
Vent piping must be supported with no low spots or
sagging which could allow condensate to collect.
•
Install the vent pipe so it can expand and contract
freely with temperature changes.
• Do not
run the heater vent into a common vent with
any other appliance.
•
It is recommended that vent runs over 5.5 m (18’)
be insulated to reduce condensation and use a
condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater,
especially in cold climate installations.

terminated confi guration or run exhaust venting in
a primarily horizontal confi guration. This heater is
intended for vertical vented applications only.

Horizontal runs of vent piping may be used but must
not exceed 4.9m (16 ft.) in length and must always
maintain the minimum pitch/slope for any horizontal
runs, as specifi ed in
Figure 4.
