Once the vent terminal location has been determined, make a hole through the exterior wall to accommodate the 3” or 4” vent pipe. Vent pipe must exit exterior wall only.

Insert a small length of 3” or 4” vent pipe through the wall and connect the coupling as shown.

Place the ½” mesh metal screen inside the terminal fitting and connect it as shown to the vent pipe on the exterior of the building.

Seal any opening around the vent pipe or fittings with mortar or silicone caulk as shown.

Complete the rest of the vent pipe installation to the water heater’s vent connector fitting on the blower outlet. If necessary support horizontal run as previously mentioned.

Use silicone sealant at the point the vent connector joins the blower assembly.

Draining the Condensate

In certain conditions, installations in unconditioned space or having long horizontal or vertical runs may accumulate condensate.

In order to prevent condensate from draining back into the blower, we recommend a condensate tee and drain to be installed in a horizontal vent section as close as practical to the blower vent connection.

Condensate is known to be acidic; refer to local, state (provincial) or federal codes for proper handling methods.
