Step 7.

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. See Roof Pitch Table (Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this problem.

Step 8.

Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the flashing (Figure 5.16). Use non-hardening sealant above and below the joint between the storm collar and the pipe.

Twist-lock the vent cap and seal.

Note: For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling firestop is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floors (Figure 5.17). The opening should be framed to 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Figure 5.14, on page 16.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Explosion Risk.

Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent passed through must be enclosed. The enclosure may be framed and sheetrocked with standard construction materials; however, refer to these installation instructions for the minimum allowable clearance between the outside of the vent pipe and the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any of the required air space with insulation.
