1) Maximum allowable limits listed on individual lengths for inlet and ue and NOT
a combination.
2) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is ve (5) feet in length and one elbow/
tee.
3) Tee used in the vent/ue termination must be included when determining the
number of elbows in the piping system.
4) 2 1/2” or 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2” diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Congurations using (2) 45 deg. Long Sweep elbows should
be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.
6) One 90° elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake connection.
Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Pipe Lengths and
Diameters
Refer to the preceding table for applicable length, elbows,
and pipe diameter for construction of the vent/flue and
combustion air intake pipe systems of a non-direct vent
(single pipe) installation. The number of elbows tabulated
represents the number of elbows and/or tees in each (Vent/
Flue & Combustion Air Intake) pipe. Elbows and/or tees used
in the terminations must be included when determining the
number of elbows in the piping systems.
If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a
nished ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate
will be objectionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe
may be required. Use 1/2” thick closed cell foam insulation
such as Armaex or Insultube where required.
The vent/ue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a roof,
or horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/ue pipe termination should be as shown in the
following gures. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion
Air Pipe - Termination Locations section in this manual or
the installation instructions for details concerning location
restrictions. The penetration of the vent through the roof must
be sealed tight with proper ashing such as is used with a
plastic plumbing vent.
