HorizontalPipe
Youshoulddoeverythingpossibletoreducetheamountofhorizontalpipeyouhaveinyourexhaust
configuration.Themorehorizontalpipethatyouhavetheharderyourcombustionblowerwillhave
towork.Youwillalsoneedtocleanyourexhaustpipemorefrequently,andinsomecasesyourunit
willfunctionverypoorlyifatall.

Itisbesttoalwayshaveverticalpipefollowinghorizontalpipe.Thiswill helptooffsettherestriction
createdwiththehorizontalpipe.Ideallyanyhorizontalpipeinyourventingconfigurationwillbe
rightoffthebackoftheunit.Thiswouldthenbefollowedbyseveralfeetofverticalpipe.We
recommend7'ormoreofverticalpipeforallinstallations.


Youshouldneverhavemorethan5’ofhorizontalpipeonanyinstallation.Havingmore
than5’ofhorizontalpipewillpotentiallycauseseriousperformanceandefficiency
deficits.

MultipleElbows
Acommonmistakemadebypeopleistousetoomanyelbowsintheexhaustsystem.Younever
wanttohavemorethantwoelbowsinanexhaustifitcanbeavoided.Dependinguponyourexact
exhaustconfigurationyoumaybeabletousethreeelbows.Youshouldalwaysavoidusingfouror
moreelbows.

Youalsowanttoavoidhavingelbowstooclosetogether.Ideallyanyelbowsintheexhaust
configurationwillbeseparatedby3'ormoreofstraightpipe.Iftheelbowscannotbespacedatleast
3'apartyoushoulduse4"diameterpipetohelpreducesomeoftherestrictioncreatedbyhaving
elbowsspacedsoclosely.Theincreasedpipediameterwillnoteliminatealloftherestrictionthough,
andyoushouldexpectyourunittoburnlessefficientlythannormalifyoudothis.

YoushouldALWAYSavoidhavingtwo90degreeelbowsright
nexttoeachother.Having
two90degreeelbowsrightnexttoeachotherwillcreatean"S"curvethatcreatesa
tremendousamountofrestrictioninyourexhaustsystemresultinginextremelypoor
stoveperformance.
