9. Vent Termination – Horizontal (Continued)
Allow at least 1 M (3 ft) vertical clearance over vent
termination when terminating under an overhang or deck.
Avoid corners or alcoves where snow or wind could have
an effect. Exhaust may affect shrubbery and some building
materials. Keep shrubbery away from termination. To
prevent staining or deterioration, sealing or shielding
exposed surfaces may be required. See Figure 24.

HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING FLEXIBLE DUCT (FLEX-VENT)
(See page 25, and 26)
NOTE: THE ALLOWABLE VENT RUNS FOR EACH VENT PIPE DIAMETER ARE DIFFERENT AND CAN
NOT BE EXCEEDED.
It is recommended that vent runs over 5.4 m (18 ft) may need to be insulated to reduce condensation related problems
and/or the use of a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater may be necessary in certain installations such as
cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 m (3 feet) or less in length do not require a condensate tee. The MasterTemp heater is
suitable for through-the-wall venting. See Table 7 for maximum permissible Flexible Vent lengths.
CAUTION
Do NOT combine exhaust vent pipes to a common exhaust vent in multiple unit installations. Run separate
vent pipes.
Fire Hazard. Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with any other appliance. Do not run the Special Gas Vent into, through,
or within any active vent such as a factory built or masonry chimney.

(3 in) or less in length do not require a condensate tee, but must slope
down toward the outlet at 2 cm to the meter (1/4 in / ft.) to allow conden-
sate to drain. ** Radius minimum to be 110 mm (4.33 in) as shown in
