VENT EXAMPLES FOR SINGLE FLUE
Figure 3 displays a single ue (one-pipe) installation. Because the
distance from the heater to the rst elbow is more than 6 inches,
the rst 90° elbow does need to be considered into the total vent
length. The equivalent length of the second 90° elbow also needs
to be added to the total length, but the third elbow does not since
it is the ue terminal. The total horizontal vent length of the ue
system is 7 feet, and the total vertical length is 27 feet. The two 90°
elbows are equivalent to 6 feet, bringing the total to 40 feet.
Figure 4 is an example of how the heater can be vented if the ue
outlet is below the level of the oor.
