MANUFACTURERS GENERAL VENTING
GUIDELINES
This information is compiled by the manufacturer as a very general rule for single appliance venting of the EG 28 gas stove with 4" Type B gas vent.
Venting code and regulations may vary from area to area, please check with the local, state/provincial codes regarding the suitability of your application.
For other special venting requirements, please refer to the local, state/provincial or national codes.
For best venting performance, we recommend total vent height of 10 ft (3m) to 30 ft (9m). Total horizontal length depends on the number of elbows used. The venting
Should never slope down. 1/4" rise per 2' horizontal is recommended.
If practical, it is best to locate the appliance to permit the use of shorter horizontals and fewer elbows.
20 ft (6m). | |
13 ft (3.8m). | |
6 ft (1.9m). | |
0 ft (0m). |
If 45° elbows are used, one 90° elbow is equivalent to two 45° elbows.
Venting rise should be a minimum of 1 ft (.31m). from the top of the unit before any horizontal run.
The bottom of the vent cap shall extend at least 2 ft. (.6m) above the highest point of the roof where it passes through and at least 2 ft (.6m) higher than any portion of the roof within a horizontal distance of 10 ft. (3m).
