installations in Figure 11. This distance may be reduced in
milder climates or where wind is unlikely to blow flue products
to the intake pipe, but should not be less than 6”.
For horizontal venting, refer to Figure 11. For vertical
venting, refer to Figure 12. It is permissible to run the vent
vertically through the roof and terminate it as shown in Figure
12, and to run the combustion air intake pipe horizontally
through a side wall and terminate as shown in Figure 11.
The vent pipe on horizontal runs must slope upward, away
from the furnace, at a minimum pitch of 1/4" per foot of run, to
prevent accumulation of condensate.
Do not cement air intake into the connector on burner
box. Use high temperature RTV silicone sealant so
intake pipe can be removed if service is required.
In horizontal venting applications, the vent and air intake
pipe must be installed on the same side of the house
within the parameters shown in Figure 11.
