Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for
Direct Vent Installations
NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and ue gases are discharged to outdoors.
NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adverse-
ly aect some building materials. If any vent termination
is used and the ue gasses may impinge on the building
material, corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches
square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the
optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommend-
ed. The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic,
sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints,
cracks, etc. in the aected area should be sealed using an
appropriate sealant. See FIGURE 34.

the maximum separation requirement of intake and
exhaust pipe DOES NOT apply.
