2.Choose vent method from those shown on page 5.

3.Select vent run components from Table 2. Table 3 states maximum vent run lengths and number of elbows. Do not exceed data in Table 3. Longer vent runs will slightly reduce boiler output. See Figure 2.

4.If installing with direct vent method, use same maximum run length and number of elbows from

step 2. Vent and combustion air connector piping configurations must match. Use suitable 3" material for combustion air connector piping, such as:

•Dryer vent

•Galvanized steel

•PVC (3" I.D.)

5.Refer to vent termination WARNING, item 19 on page 3.
