and not two adjacent walls [corner of building]).
B. Typical installations require 12” minimum separation between
bottom of exhaust outlet and top of air intake.

Figure 11 - Horizontal (Snorkel) Venting
All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust
pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot back to the heater to allow
drainage of condensate. When placing support brackets on vent
piping, the rst bracket must be within 1 foot of the water heater
and the balance of 4 foot intervals on the vent pipe. Venting must be
readily accessible for visual inspection from the rst three feet from
the heater.
NOTE: These drawings are meant to demonstrate system venting only.
The installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by
local codes.
2. Venting Through an Existing System
This heater may be vented through an existing unused vent system.
The inner diameter of the existing vent system is utilized for the
combustion air source. Two methods have been approved for such
venting: Concentric Venting Through an Existing System and Venting
as a Chase.
Vent / Air Inlet Size Minimum Existing Vent / Chase Size
3” 5”
4” 7”
Table 9 - Minimum Existing Vent / Chase Sizing
Do not install the heater into a common existing vent with any other
appliance. This will cause ue gas spillage or heater malfunction,
resulting in substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or
death.
