NOTE: While a drain connection is required in the vent of all Cat. III horizontal MVB installations, the drain can be accomplished in several different ways. The figures in this manual show the drain in a vent tee, however, this can also be accomplished using an inline collector for condensing stacks or an inline vertical or horizontal collector available from several of the listed vent manufacturers.

Fig. 27: Horizontal Through-the-Wall Direct Venting

CAUTION: This venting system requires the installation of a condensate drain in the vent piping per the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a condensate drain in the venting system will void all warranties on this heater.

Installation

These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to vent the combustion products to the outdoors. Combustion air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed horizontally through the wall to the out- doors. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the equipment room in accordance with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).

The total length of the horizontal through-the-wall flue system should not exceed 75 equivalent ft in length. If horizontal run exceeds 75 equivalent ft, an appropri- ately sized variable-speed extractor must be used. Each elbow used is equal to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the four following arrangements:

28

•75’ of straight flue pipe

•65’ of straight flue pipe and one elbow

•55’ of straight flue pipe and two elbows

•45’ of straight pipe and three elbows

The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system.

The vent must be installed to prevent flue gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly to ensure that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight. The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is required that:

1.The vent must be installed with a condensate drain located in proximity to the heater as directed by the vent manufacturer.

2.The vent must be installed with a slight upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per foot of horizon- tal run to the vent terminal.

3.The vent must be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.

Termination

The flue direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the ex- terior of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and above normal snow levels. The Raypak-approved stainless steel flue direct vent cap must be used (sales order option D-15). The vent terminal must be located NO CLOSER than 12” off the wall.

WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.

Direct Vent—Vertical

Installation

These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to draw combustion air from outdoors and force the heated flue products through the vent pipe under posi- tive pressure. The vent material must be in accordance with the above instructions for vent mate- rials. Vent material must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency.

The connection from the appliance flue to the stack must be as direct as possible and should be the same size or larger than the vent outlet.
