The Clarity Direct Vent should be installed with no more than 12 joints and 2 elbows. The elbows may be either 45° or 90°.
The Clarity Direct Vent must not be connected to a chim- ney flue serving any other appliance.
WARNING: The flow of ventilation air must not be obstructed.
Horizontaland Vertical Venting Requirements
The maximum horizontal run allowed for the Clarity Di- rect Vent is 10 feet. The maximum vertical rise and maxi- mum total vent length is 30 feet. The horizontal and vertical lengths of venting must fall within the shaded portion of the chart below:
Restrictor plates supplied by Harman (Part No. G218) may be added in straight vertical installa- tions only. For each 10' of vertical rise above the first 10', one restrictor plate may be added. No more than two restrictor plates may be used.
For venting systems that utilize one or two el- bows (either 45° or 90°), restrictor plates
should not be used.
For the Clarity Direct Vent, the vent/ air intake termination clearances above the high side of an angled roof are as follows:
