wall will help minimize discoloration of the wall. Note that the inside flue mounting adaptors must be slipped over the vent piping before locating the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and opening to insure a water and air tight seal.

(50 Gal. (189.3 L) Hi BTU input & all 75 Gal. (283.9 L) Models only) is supplied on certain models only. (More may be required and must be supplied locally).
1.The water heater requires its own (separate) venting system.
2.Only 3" ABS Schedule 40 piping and fittings are acceptable materials on the first 5' (1.52 m) of the outlet vent system for some 50 Gal. (189.3 L) and 75 Gal. (283.9 L) models.
3.3" PVC, ABS, or CPVC Schedule 40 piping and fittings are acceptable materials for the inlet vent system and for the outlet vent system (after the first 5' (1.52 m) for 50 Gal. (189.3 L) Hi BTU input and 75 Gal. (283.9 L) Models only).
4.It cannot be connected to existing vent piping or chimney.
5.It must terminate vertically to the outdoors.
6.The total vertical and horizontal runs cannot exceed the maximum length with a maximum number of 90° elbows as specified in the table below. If more elbows are required, the venting distance must be reduced 5' (1.52 m) for every 90° elbow.
3" DIA. VENTS | NUMBER OF 90° DEG. |
MAX. LENGTH (FT.) | ELBOWS* |
45 (13.72 m) | 1 |
40 (12.2 m) | 2 |
35 (10.7 m) | 3 |
*NOTE: Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. One 90° elbow equals 5' (1.52 m) of equivalent vent length.

CONNECTING VENT TO BLOWER
1.If making an immediate horizontal run of vent off the blower, one 3" PVC inlet and one 3" PVC (ABS for 50 Gal. (189.3 L) and 75 Gal.(283.9 L) Models) outlet Schedule 40 street elbows are required. Place the elbow in the required direction on the blower and using three sheet metal screws, attach the elbow.
