- If allowed by local codes, combustion-air / air-inlet venting does not require use of high-temperature materials -
ABS is acceptable. It is the responsibility of the installation contractor to check and confirm with local codes /
jurisdiction of authority.
- See Max Equivalent Lengths table (on following page) for allowable flue gas and combustion air material sizes
and lengths.

Notes:
!
DANGER
Vent and Air-Inlet are to be piped separately. This product cannot share a common vent or air-
inlet with multiple water heaters. Failure to comply will result in serious injury or death.
If the above criteria is not properly observed and syncFURNACE OD damage results - any warranty coverage on
syncFURNACE OD and its related components will be null and void.
DO NOT locate product in
areas where high levels of
dust or humidity are present
!
CAUTION
DO NOT install / operate
syncFURNACE OD during
construction - will cause heavy
suiting of burner and heat
exchanger fouling.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT operate product in
an area that is under
construction or renovation.
