Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non-
Direct Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through
an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or
closet installations, vertical termination through the roof
is preferred. Figure 42 through Figure 43 show typical
terminations.
1. Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed
in Table 12. The specified pipe size ensures proper
velocity required to move the exhaust gases away
from the building.
2. On field supplied terminations for side wall exit,
exhaust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches
(305mm) for 2" PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3"
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall.

3. If exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position
above snow accumulation or other obstructions, piping
must be supported every 24 inches (610mm). When
exhaust piping must be run up an outside wall, any
reduction in exhaust pipe size must be done after the
final elbow.
4. Distance between exhaust pipe terminations on
multiple furnaces must meet local codes.

NOTE − Do not discharge exhaust gases directly into any chimney
or vent stack. If vertical discharge through an existing unused
chimney or stack is required, insert piping inside chimney until the
pipe open end is above top of chimney and terminate as illustrated.
In any exterior portion of chimney, the exhaust vent must be
insulated.
