4-inch PVC may be used for a MAXIMUM intake of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) EQUIVALENT FEET and a MAXIMUM exhaust of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) EQUIVALENT FEET. The maximum number of 90° elbows with the 4-inch venting is six (6) on the intake and six (6) on the exhaust. A 90° elbow is equal to five (5) equivalent feet of pipe. One (1) 90° elbow is equal to two

(2)45° elbows. Any venting configuration using less than 50 equivalent feet should use 3-inch vent- ing. See Vent Length Table.

The 3-inch venting terminals (provided) must be used with the 4-inch venting by adding 4 x 3 reducing coupling at the venting terminals. A reducing coupling is also needed immediately after the condensate elbow (exhaust) and immediately before the 3-inch blower adapter (intake) if direct venting is installed. See Vent Length Table.

DIRECT VENTING

The air intake provided on the unit contains a mesh screen (see Figure below) to prevent large par- ticles from entering the unit.
