VENT CONFIGURATIONS AND RESTRICTOR SETTINGS:

Figures 23 shows the range of venting options, it shows possible vent configurations if the unit is top vented, for vertical and horizontal terminations, any layout that remains within the shaded area is acceptable. Having the fewest number of elbows is ideal, as they tend to disrupt air movement. Using 45˚ elbows is preferable to using 90˚ elbows. Also, a shorter vent system will perform better than a longer one.

The vent restrictor controls the amount of air moving through the vent pipe. Longer vertical vent lengths necessitate greater restriction; position 1 is open and position 5 is maximum restriction. Figure 31 shows the vent restrictor position required,
