1) Maximum allowable limits listed on individual lengths for inlet and flue
and NOT a combination.
2) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is five (5) feet in length and
one elbow/tee.
3) Tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included when determin-
ing the number of elbows in the piping system.
4) 2 1/2” or 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2” diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg. Long Sweep
elbows should be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.
6) One 90° elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake con-
nection.

ERMINATIONS
NOTE: If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for termi-
nation, it must be pointed downward.
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a roof, or
horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the
following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Com-
bustion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning
location restrictions. The penetration of the vent through the roof
must be sealed tight with proper flashing such as is used with a
plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the
following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combus-
tion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning loca-
tion restrictions. A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration is required for
2” diameter pipe. A 3” diameter hole is required for a 2 1/2” pipe
and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. To
secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit damage to
piping connections, a coupling should be installed on either side
of the wall and solvent cemented to a length of pipe connecting
the two couplings. The length of pipe should be the wall thick-
ness plus the depth of the socket fittings to be installed on the
inside and outside of the wall. The wall penetration should be
sealed with silicone caulking material.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run between
joist spaces. If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up
into the last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows
should be used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.
