24” MINIMUM SEPARATION. EXHAUST MUST BE AT SAME LEVEL OR ABOVE INTAKE TERMINAL.

Figure 30. Figure 31.

When direct venting through the wall, as shown in Figure 32, the exhaust should terminate a minimum of 24” from the intake vent terminal. The exhaust may be rotated up to 45 degrees left or right as long as the 24” distance is maintained.

The wire screen can be removed for space heating at cold climate installation to prevent potential air intake freeze up. If wire screen is removed during winter to prevent freezing it is recommended to re- install the screen during non-space heating seasons.

If necessary to achieve the 12” minimum clearance above the highest anticipated snow level or grade for the intake vent terminal install a snorkel, similar to the exhaust, in the up position. Maintain the 24” distance between the intake and exhaust terminations.

Optional cold climate sidewall direct vent kits are available: 318221-	Figure 32.
000 for 2” vent systems and 318222-000 for 3” vent systems.
