Venting
A
CAUTION: Proper installation of ue venting is
critical for the safe and e󰀩cient operation of the pool
heater.
General
Appliance Categories
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of
condensate production in the vent.
Category I – A heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category II – A heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category III – A heater which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids
excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive vent
pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause
excessive condensate production in the vent.
See Table H for appliance category requirements.

WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent
material if there is any question about the appliance
categorization and suitability of a vent material for
application on a Category I vent system. Using improper
venting materials can result in personal injury, death or
property damage.
