VENTING CONNECTION
For best and safe venting performance, here are some general venting rules:
•Use only Archgard or Simpson
•Maintain a minimum of 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustibles from the outside surfaces of vertical vents and minimum of 1” (25 mm) sides and bottom, and 2” (50 mm) from top surfaces of horizontal vents.
•Observe local code restrictions, if any, regarding the installation of this type of gas appliance.
•Observe the venting charts given in this manual
•Use vent spacers between the inside 4” (101 mm) and outside 7” (178 mm) vents at 3 ft (915 mm) intervals (Archgard Direct Vent System ONLY).
•Never slope horizontal vents downwards, towards the vent termination.
•Maintain a minimum ¼” rise (6mm) for every linear foot (305 mm) of horizontal vent.
•Terminate (Horizontally) the vent only with an approved vent termination supplied by Archgard Part #
•Terminate (Vertically) the vent only with Simpson
•Support horizontal vents every 3 ft (915 mm) to prevent sagging.
