VENTING REQUIREMENTS

		wall cap	Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 6" vent. The total length of the vent system
			including straight vent, elbow, transitions, wall or roof caps

			performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate
		3-1/4" x 10"	the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for
