Support of Vent Stack

The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the heater vent connection. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible materials.

Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent passes through combustible roofs and walls.

Vent Terminal Location

NOTICE:

General

During winter months check the vent cap and make sure no blockage occurs from build up of snow. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.

Give special attention to the location of the vent termination to avoid possibility of property damage or personal injury.

a)Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter. The plume could obstruct a window view if the termination is installed in close proximity to windows.

b)Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate and water/ice build-up on building, plants or roof.

c)The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall be located at least 12 in. above grade.

d)Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall not be used outdoors on cold climates for venting gas utilization equip- ment.

e)Through-the-wall vents for Category II and IV appliances and non-categorized condensing appliances shall not termi- nate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment. Where local experience indicates that condensate is a problem with Category I and III appliances, this provision shall also apply.

f)Locate and guard vent termination to prevent accidental contact by people or pets.

g)DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard or other recessed area, unless previously approved by local authority.

h)DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations.

i)Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate from damaging exterior finishes. Use a 2’ x 2’ rust resistant sheet metal backing plate against brick or masonry surfaces.

j)DO NOT extend exposed vent pipe outside of building. Condensate could freeze and block vent pipe.

US Installations - Refer to latest edition of NFGC

Vent termination requirements are as follows:

a)Vent must terminate at least four (4) feet below, four (4) feet horizontally, or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet to the building.

b)The vent must not be less than seven (7) feet above grade when located adjacent to public walkways.

c)Terminate vent at least three (3) feet above any forced air inlet located within ten (10) feet.

d)Vent must terminate at least four (4) feet horizontally, and in no case above or below unless four (4) feet horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.

e)Terminate vent at least six (6) feet away from adjacent walls.

f)DO NOT terminate vent closer than five (5) feet below roof overhang.

g)The vent terminal of a direct vent appliance with an input over 50,000 Btu per hour shall require a 12-inch vent terminal clearance.

h)Terminate vent at least one (1) foot above grade, including normal snow line.

i)Multiple direct vent installations require a four (4) foot clearance between vent caps.
