• Do not back fill around snorkel.
• a clearance of at least 4" must be
maintained between the snorkel and the
soil.
Vertical sections of this vent system require a minimum of
1" clearance to combustibles on all sides of the pipe.
• Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizontal plane,
the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18"
(450 mm).
example: Maximum horizontal length
No elbows = 10’ (3 m)
1x45° elbows = 8.5’ (2.6 m)
2x45° elbows = 7’ (2.1 m)
• A minimum of an 8' (2.5 m) vertical rise is required.
• Two sets of 45°elbows offsets may be used within the
vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.5 m)
of vent pipe can be used between elbows. Figure 23
• The maximum angular variation allowed in the system
is 270°. Figure 23
• The minimum height of the vent above the highest point
of penetration through the roof is 2' (610 mm).

note: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a
minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of
the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the
flue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance
all around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration.
Unless the vertical run is 7Z\x feet or higher form floor of
fireplace, the clearance for the horizontal run is 1" on all
sides.
