6.See Table 4 for height of vent termination above the roof.
7.Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with any other appliance.
8. Fire Hazard. Do not vent the heater directly into a masonry chimney. Installation into a masonry chimney must use a chimney liner and must meet National Fuel Gas Code requirements and all local code requirements.

CONNECTING SPECIAL GAS
VENT TO THE HEATER
Metallic:
1.Order an Appliance Adapter kit:
2.Remove the outside vent cover.
3.Install the Appliance Adapter in the Vent Body of the heater (located under the outside Vent Cover). Before connecting the Appliance Adapter to the Vent Body, wet a clean cloth or paper towel with isopropyl alco- hol (rubbing alcohol) and vigorously wipe the socket of the Vent Body. Immediately wipe the cleaned sur- faces dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat for the exterior of the heater end of the Appliance Adapter. Attach the Appliance Adapter to the vent body using the adhesive specified by the vent manufacturer, fol- lowing the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if adapter is improperly attached. Mechanical connections (such as screws) can cause cracking and leaks in the adapter. Do not drill holes or use screws to connect the appliance adapter to the heater vent body. Attach with manufacturer’s specified adhesive.
