CONDITION 2:
Where floor joists impede venting, a rise or drop to complete the vent termination is possible. All installations require 1 in. (25mm) clearance to combustibles.
Note:
A. The maximum horizontal vent length of 80 in. (2.03m) minus wall thickness should be considered when installing an offset vent arrangement.
B. Do not combine condition 1 (Figure 26) with condition 2 (Figure 27) in the same installation.

OFFSET VENT ARRANGEMENT
CONDITION 1:
Where a straight vent arrangement is impossible, a horizontal 90 degree maximum bend can be made. Use the water heater casing outer diameter as a template to form the corrugated tube.
