Horizontal Vent Installation

Once the vent terminal location has been determined, make a hole through the exterior wall to accommodate the vent pipe. Vent pipe must exit exterior wall horizontally only.

Insert a small length of vent pipe through the wall and connect the coupling as shown to the left.

Place the 1/2" mesh metal screen inside the terminal fitting and connect it as shown to the vent pipe on the exterior of the building.

Complete the rest of the vent pipe installation to the water heater's vent connector fitting on the blower outlet.

If necessary support horizontal run as previously mentioned.

*FOR THE 60 GALLON MODELS ONLY a 90° vent termination must be used and must be at least 2" from the wall.

Insert 1/2" Mesh Protective Screen Inside Terminal Elbow

Vertical Vent Termination Location

The location of the vent terminal depends on the following minimum clearances and considerations (see illustration):

Minimum twelve (12) inches above roof.

Minimum twelve (12) inches above anticipated snow level.

Maximum twenty-four (24) inches above roof level without additional support for vent.

Vent Pipe Through Roof

Four (4) feet from any gable, dormer or other roof structure with building interior access (i.e., vent, window, etc.).

Ten (10) feet from any forced air inlet to the building. Any fresh or make-up air inlet such as a dryer or furnace area is considered to be a forced air inlet.

Vertical Vent Installation

Once the vent terminal location has been determined, make a hole through the roof and interior ceiling to accommodate the vent pipe.

Complete the vent pipe installation to the water heater's vent connector fitting on the blower outlet.

Support vertical or horizontal lengths as previously mentioned.

Install adequate flashing where the vent pipe passes through the roof.

Determine the vent terminal height and cut vent pipe accordingly. Refer to the above section for proper vent terminal height.

Connect vent elbow onto vertical pipe through roof.

Connect short piece of vent pipe (approximately 3" long) to elbow, then insert 1/2" mesh metal screen into terminal elbow and join it to the short piece of vent pipe.

AP14236 specifications

Ruud AP14236 is a highly efficient air conditioning unit that stands out in the residential HVAC market for its remarkable performance and innovative technology. This model is specifically engineered to provide optimal cooling and heating solutions, offering homeowners comfort year-round while also emphasizing energy efficiency.

One of the key features of the Ruud AP14236 is its efficiency rating, showcased by its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, which provides users with an indication of energy consumption versus cooling output. With ratings often exceeding 14, the unit is designed to reduce energy bills significantly while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. In addition to SEER, the unit boasts an HSPF (Heating Season Performance Factor) that guarantees excellent performance during colder months.

The Ruud AP14236 utilizes advanced inverter technology that allows for variable speed operation. This technology enables the air conditioner to adjust its cooling output based on the actual temperature in the home, leading to lower energy consumption while ensuring that the desired climate is reached swiftly and efficiently. This feature not only enhances comfort but also prolongs the lifespan of the unit, as it does not require the constant on-off cycling seen in traditional systems.

Equipped with an enhanced filtration system, the Ruud AP14236 significantly improves indoor air quality by capturing dust, allergens, and other particulates. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for those with allergies or respiratory conditions, as it creates a healthier living environment.

Durability is another hallmark of the Ruud AP14236, featuring robust construction materials designed to withstand the rigors of varied weather conditions. The unit's cabinet is often galvanized and treated to resist rust, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance issues.

Noise reduction is also a primary focus in the design of Ruud AP14236. The unit operates quietly, allowing for comfortable living spaces without the disruptive sounds commonly associated with air conditioning systems. This is achieved through sound-dampening technology and acoustic insulation.

In summary, the Ruud AP14236 is engineered for energy efficiency, versatility, durability, and quiet operation. Homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient air conditioning solution will find that this unit meets their needs while providing year-round comfort and improved air quality.
