NOTE - See TABLE 23 for maximum allowed exhaust pipe
length without insulation in unconditioned space during
winter design temperatures below 32°F (0°C). If required
exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13mm) Ar-
maex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4”
(19mm) Armaex or equivalent may be necessary. Insu-
lation must be protected from deterioration. Armaex with
UV protection is permissable. Basements or other en-
closed areas that are not exposed to the outdoor ambient
temperature and are above 32 degrees F (0°C) are to be
considered conditioned spaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust
or intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-
ups and may block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only:
In accordance to CSA International B149 installation
codes, the minimum allowed distance between the
combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet
of other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches
(305mm).
