doors.

NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If any vent termination is used and the flue gasses may impinge on the building ma­ terial, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the

optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommended. The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic, sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints, cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an appropriate sealant. See figure 35.

Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at­ tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is preferred. Figures 32 through 46 show typical terminations.

1 - Intake and exhaust terminations are not required to be in the same pressure zone. You may exit the intake on one side of the structure and the exhaust on another side (figure 33). You may exit the exhaust out the roof and the intake out the side of the structure (figure 34).

2 - Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close together as possible at termination end (refer to il­ lustrations). Maximum separation is 3” (76MM) on roof terminations and 6” (152MM) on side wall termina­ tions.

NOTE - When venting in different pressure zones, the maximum separation requirement of intake and ex­ haust pipe DOES NOT apply.

3 - On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi­ nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure 32).

4 - Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust pip­ ing at the point where it exits the structure to improve the velocity of exhaust away from the intake piping. See table 8.

NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of ex­ haust back into intake pipe.

5 - On field-supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex­ haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches (305MM) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508MM) for 3” (76MM) PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping

should be as short as possible. See figures 36 and 37.

6 - On field-supplied terminations, a minimum distance between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8” and a minimum distance of 6” with a termination elbow. See figures 36 and 37.
