Drolet ECO-65 owner manual Venting through wall

4.Install Vent wall thimble per Vent manufacturer‟s instructions.

5.Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6 inches beyond the exterior wall. There should always be at least one foot of vertical rise for each foot of horizontal run (see Appendix A). At least 3 feet of vertical rise are needed in all cases. A longer vertical rise will favour a better exhaust.

6.To reduce the risk of smoke spillage, never terminate with a horizontal run. If your system terminates with a horizontal run, add at least 3 feet of vertical rise (see Appendix A).

7.Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening waterproof mastic.

Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases can be a hazard to children. Exhaust gases can reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause serious burns if touched.

In Canada:

a)less than 7 feet vertically above any public sidewalk, lane, street, right-of-way, stairway or landing;

b)within 6 feet of a mechanical air supply inlet to a building;

c)within 3 feet of a building opening or air inlet of another appliance;

d)above a gas meter/regulator assembly within 3 feet horizontally of the vertical centerline of the regulator

e)within 6 feet of any gas service regulator vent outlet or within 3 feet of an oil tank vent or an oil tank fill inlet;

g)within 3 feet of the property boundary; and

h)underneath a veranda, porch, or deck.

i)A clear space of at least 3 feet shall be provided from the termination to any building projection, adjacent wall, or any combustible materials such as trees, shrubs, fencing, etc.
