A Conventional Negative Draft Venting System

The negative draft in a conventional vent installation must be within the range of a negative 0.02 to 0.05 inches water column to ensure proper operation. All draft readings are made while the appliance is in stable operation (approximately 2 to 5 minutes).

Multiple appliance installations with combined venting or common venting with other negative draft appliances require that each appliance must have draft within the proper range. If the draft measured above the appliance’s built-in draft diverter exceeds the specified range in a dedicated chimney for a single appliance installation or in combined venting with other negative draft appliances, a barometric damper must be installed to control draft.

On a conventionally vented, negative draft appliance, the connection from the vent to the chimney or vent termination on the outside of the building MUST be made with listed Type “B” double wall (or equivalent) vent connectors and must be direct as possible with no reduction in diameter. Use the National Fuel Gas Code venting tables for double wall vent to properly size all vent connectors and stacks. The Type “B” vent and accessories, such as firestop spacers, thimbles, caps, etc., MUST be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s listing. The vent connector and firestop must provide correct spacing to combustible surfaces and seal to the vent connector on the upper and lower sides of each floor or ceiling through which the vent connector passes.

Any vent materials used must be listed by a nationally Figure 2-1_Conventional Negative Draft Vertical Venting recognized test agency for use as vent material.
