Make sure to keep a distance of 3' (0.9m) or wider between the intake and exhaust when installing the vent piping.
If 3’ (0.9m) distance between Intake and Exhaust cannot be ensured, the installation can be carried out only
in the installation method shown in page 16.

Terminate at least 12" (300mm) above grade or above snow line.
•
Slope the horizontal vent 1/4" upwards for every 12" (300mm) toward the termination.
•
Use a condensation drain if necessary.
•
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a carbon monoxide detector is required for all side wall horizontally vented
gas fuel equipment. Please refer to Technical Bulletin TB 010606 for full installation instructions.

When choosing intake and exhaust terminations, you must use the
same type of elbow (i.e. both 90° elbows).
This will help with proper combustion by putting both terminations in
the same pressure zone.

As illustrated on the left, make sure to keep a distance
of 3' (0.9m) or wider between the intake and exhaust
when installing the vent piping.
Terminate at least 3’ (0.9m) from the combustion air
intake of any appliance and any other building opening.
Enclose exterior vent systems below the roof line to limit
condensation and protect against mechanical failure.
When the vent penetrates a floor or ceiling and is not
running in a fire rated shaft, a firestop and support is
required.
When the vent termination is located not less than
8' (2.4m) from a vertical wall or similar obstruction,
terminate above the roof at least 2' (0.6m), but not
more than 6' (1.87m), in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1.
Provide vertical support every 3' (0.9m) or as required
by the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.
A short horizontal section is recommended to prevent
debris from falling into the water heater.
When using a horizontal section, slope the horizontal
vent 1/4” upwards for every 12” (300mm) toward the
termination to drain condensate.
