If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a finished
ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate will be objec-
tionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe may be required.
Use 1/2” thick closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex or
Insultube where required.

1) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is five (5) feet in length and one
elbow/tee.
2) Tees and/or elbows used in the vent/flue termination must be included
when determining the number of elbows in the piping system.
3) 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2” diameter pipe.
4) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg.
Long Sweep
elbows should be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.
VENT/FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPE TERMINATIONS
The vent/flue and combustion air pipes may terminate vertically, as
through a roof, or horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical pipe terminations should be as shown in the following
figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe -
Termination Locations for details concerning location restrictions.
The penetrations through the roof must be sealed tight with proper
flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.

Vertical Terminations (Dual Pipe)
Horizontal terminations should be as shown in the following fig-
ure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe -
Termination Location for location restrictions. A 2 3/8 inch diameter
wall penetration is required for 2” diameter pipe while a 3 1/2 inch
diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. To secure the pipe
passing through the wall and prohibit damage to piping connec-
tions, a coupling should be installed on either side of the wall and
solvent cemented to a pipe connecting the two couplings. The
pipe length should be the wall thickness plus the depth of the
socket fittings to be installed on the inside and outside of the wall.
The wall penetration should be sealed with silicone caulking ma-
terial.
