Securing the Vent Sections

Vertical Sections

Vertical sections of pipe must be supported every 8 feet after the 25 foot maximum unsupported rise. The vent sup- port or plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this (see Figure 8.9).

Horizontal Sections

Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 feet with a vent support or plumber’s strap.

Figure 8.9 Securing Vertical Pipe Sections

Figure 8.10 Securing Horizontal Pipe Sections

B. Disassembly of Vent Sections

To disassemble any two pieces of pipe, rotate either section (see Figure 8.11), so that the seams on both pipe sections are aligned (see Figure 8.12). They can then be carefully pulled apart.

Use vent run supports per installation instructions.

Connect vent sections per installation instructions.

•Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

•Do NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.
