STANDARD COMBUSTION

VERTICALLY VENTED, CATEGORY III – Figure 17 & 19

Observe the following precautions when venting the unit:

1.Use flue pipe of the same size as the flue connection(s) on the gas unit heater, 4" (102mm). All heaters must be vented with a single or double wall pipe listed for positive pressure vent systems.

2.Each unit must have an individual vent pipe and vent terminal. Unit MUST NOT be connected to other vent systems or to a chimney.

3.Category III units are limited to a maximum of 40 feet (12.19m) equivalent length of vent pipe. Equivalent length is the total length of straight sections PLUS 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90 degree elbow and 2.5 feet (.75m) for each 45 degree elbow.

4.The top of the vent pipe should extend at least 2 feet (0.61m) above the highest point on the roof. Consideration should be made for anticipated snow depth. Install an Amerivent Americap or Metalbestos vent cap over the vent opening. Slope horizontal runs upward from the gas unit heater at least 1/4-inch per foot (21mm/m) minimum. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported at minimum intervals of 4 feet (1.2m) (in Canada, support at 3 feet (1m) minimum intervals). (See Figures 15, 17 and 19)

5.Seal all vent pipe joints and seams to prevent leakage. Use General Electric RTV-108, Dow- Corning RTV-732, or equivalent silicone sealant with a tempera- ture rating of 500 deg. F, or 3M #425 aluminum foil tape (or equivalent).

6.Avoid running vent pipe through unheated spaces. When this cannot be avoided, insulate the pipe to prevent condensation of moisture on the walls of the pipe.
