* Not supplied with water heater,
order separately.
**1' mini mum recommended,
but not required.
When choosing intake and exhaust terminations, you must use the
same type of elbow (i.e. both 45° elbows, or both 90° elbows).
This will help with proper combustion by putting both terminations in
the same pressure zone.

As illustrated on the left, make sure to keep a distance of 3' (0.9m)
or wider between the intake and exhaust when installing the vent piping.

• The PVT-HL termination may be used in place of elbows as the
horizontal vent terminations. It is not necessary touse bird screens
with the PVT-HL termination.
•
Terminate at least 12" (300mm) above grade or above snow line.
3" Min.
•
Terminate at least 7' (2.1m) above a public walkway, 6' (1.8m)
from the combustion air intake of any appliance, and 3' (0.9m)
from any other building opening, gas utility meter, service regulator etc.
•
Terminate at least 3' (0.9m) above any forced air inlet within
10' (3m) , 1' (0.3m) below, 1' (0.3m) horizontally from or 1' (0.3m)
above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building per
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
•
Slope the horizontal vent 1/4" upwards for every 12" (300mm)
toward the termination.
•
Use a condensation drain if necessary.
•
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a carbon monoxide detector
is required for all side wall horizontally vented gas fuel equipment.
Please refer to Technical Bulletin TB 010606 for full installation
instructions.
•
As illustrated on the left, make sure to keep a distance
of 3' (0.9m) or wider between the intake and exhaust
when installing the vent piping.
•
Terminate at least 6' (1.8m) from the combustion air
intake of any appliance, and 3' (0.9m) from any other
building opening, gas utility meter, service regulator etc.
• Enclose exterior vent systems below the roof line to limit
condensation and protect against mechanical failure.
•
When the vent penetrates a floor or ceiling and is not
running in a fire rated shaft, a firestop and support is
required.
•
When the vent termination is located not less than
8' (2.4m) from a vertical wall or similar obstruction,
terminate above the roof at least 2' (0.6m), but not
more than 6' (1.87m), in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
•
Provide vertical support every 3' (0.9m) or as required
by the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.
•
A short horizontal section is recommended to prevent
debris from falling into the water heater.
•
When using a horizontal section, slope the horizontal
vent 1/4" upwards for every 12" (300mm) toward the
termination to drain condensate.
