Venting Installation, Typical B-Vent Conﬁguration

VENTING INSTALLATION

A B-type venting system must be connected to the appliance for venting to the outside of the building.

The following section is provided as a guide to a standard B-type vent installation.

Standing codes requirements concerning B-type vent installations may vary within your state, province or local codes jurisdiction. Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your local build- ing codes for speciﬁc requirements or in absence of local codes, follow Section 7.0 of the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and in Canada with CAN/CGA B149 for Category I systems using double wall B-1 vent pipe.

This gas appliance must be vented to the outdoors only and may not be terminated into an attic space or into a chimney ﬂue servicing a solid-fuel burning appliance.

This appliance may be vented through a manufactured chimney system or a masonry chimney using a B-vent adapter or a chimney liner system if all are listed, inspected and approved by local codes and/or building authorities.

The examples shown in Figure 10 are typical of most B-vent instal- lations and codes practices.

Example 1: Shows the minimum allowable system height and lateral offset for a 60° degree or greater inclination. Code speciﬁes that offsets at 60° degrees or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75% percent rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allows only one offset in the total system when at 60° degrees or greater. The total vertical height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% percent rule applies. If the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized in accordance with the Category I venting tables.

Example 2: Shows a multiple offset each at 45° degrees of inclina- tion. Multiple offsets are permitted if they do not exceed 45° degrees of inclination. The total lengths of the two offsets are not required to meet the 75% percent allowable rule.

Example 3: Shows a single offset at 45° degrees of inclination and therefore the lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75% percent rule.

In each case the offsets must be supported and ﬁrestops must be positioned wherever the vent must pass through a sub-ﬂoor, ceiling joist or an attic overhang. The vent pipe must terminate vertically into a listed type vent cap and extend a sufﬁcient height through an approved roof ﬂashing, roof jack or a roof thimble. At all points the listed clearances must be maintained.
