1.

Do Not install vent terminal under any patio or deck.

2.

To help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and

 

under eaves, do not locate vent terminal on the side of a

 

building with prevailing winter winds.

3.

Do Not terminate vent pipe directly on brick or masonry

 

surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal backing plate

 

behind vent. (See Figure 9.)

4.

Do Not locate vent terminal too close to shrubbery,

 

since flue gases may damage them.

Figure 8 – Vertical Vent Terminal Location

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. (See Figures 9a and 9b.)

Insert a small length of vent pipe through the wall and connect the coupling as shown in Figure 9. Connect terminal as shown to the vent pipe on the exterior of the building. Seal any opening around the vent pipe or fittings with mortar or silicone caulk as shown in Figures 9a and 9b.

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.
