Installation & Service Manual

2 Venting

General information

You must supply adequate combustion and ventilation air to this unit. You must provide minimum clearances for the vent terminal from adjacent buildings, windows that open, and building openings. Follow all requirements set forth in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment or applicable local building codes. Vent installations for connection to gas vents or chimneys must be in accordance with Part 7, “Venting of Equipment” of the above-mentioned standards.

NOTICE

DANGER

Examine the venting system at least once each year. Check all joints and vent pipe connections for tightness. Also check for corrosion or deterioration. If you find any problems, correct them at once.

Failure to use correct venting materials can result in loss of life from flue gas spillage into working or living space.

Venting support

Support horizontal portions of the venting system to prevent sagging. Provide an upward slope of at least 1/4 inch per foot (21mm/m) on all horizontal runs from the unit to the vertical flue run or to the vent terminal on sidewall venting installations.

Do not use an existing chimney as a raceway if another appliance or fireplace is vented through the chimney. The weight of the venting system must not rest on the unit. Provide adequate support of the venting system. Follow all local and applicable codes. Secure and seal all vent connections. Follow the installation instructions from the vent material manufacturer.

Vertical vent termination clearances and location

The vent terminal should be vertical and exhaust outside the building at least 2 feet (0.61m) above the highest point of the roof within a 10 foot (3.05m) radius of the termination.

The vertical termination must be a minimum of 3 feet (0.91m) above the point of exit.

A vertical termination less than 10 feet (3.05m) from a parapet wall must be a minimum of 2 feet (0.61m) higher than the parapet wall.

You must locate the air inlet termination elbow at least 12'' (30cm) above the roof or above normal snow levels.

Keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, and debris to avoid blocking the flue.
