Installation of Two Pipe Venting – Horizontal
Refer to the diagram below for venting on horizontal concentric systems. Maintain at least 12 inches of clearance between the exhaust pipe termination and the exterior surface of the exterior wall (Dim. A).
The combustion air pipe must be a minimum of 12 inches from the exhaust pipe and 24 inches from the exterior surface of the outside wall (Dim. B).
A minimum of 1 inch and a maximum of 48 inches of building wall thickness is required for separated combustion vent pipe.

2. Install Combustion Air Pipe
Run a combustion air pipe from the unit’s combustion air intake through the exterior wall to the outdoors. The combustion air pipe must terminate at least 12 inches from the combustion vent pipe and 24 inches from the exterior surface of the outside wall. Attach the combustion air inlet guard to the end of the combustion air pipe. Using
3. Seal Wall Openings
Using an appropriate method, seal the wall openings around the piping.
