Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm) clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 16, Figure
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 35 ft. (11m) Figure 5.11).
NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a vertical installation is eight, provided their installation does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as specified by vent graph, on page 11).

NOTE: Maximum number of 90° elbows permitted for a vertical installation is four, provided the termination falls within the shaded area shown in vent graph on page 10. See also Figure 5.12, within the four 90° elbows configuration, the maximum allowable pipe length on the horizontal runs is 1 ft. (305mm) the minimum allowable pipe length on vertical runs is 1 ft. (305mm).
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTION: This installation may not have two horizontal sections connected by 90° elbows.
5.17.Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 11.
