-Exhaust vent (Stainless steel vent)-
This is a Category IV appliance and must be vented accordingly. The vent system must be sealed airtight.
All seams and joints without gaskets must be sealed with high heat resistant silicone sealant or UL listed
aluminum adhesive tape having a minimum temperature rating of 71 °C (160 °F). For best results, a vent
system should be as short and straight as possible.
• These models are a Category IV appliance and must be vented accordingly with any 4” vent
approved for use with Category III/IV or Special BH type gas vent.
• The manufacturer recommends the “T-Vent” line manufactured by TAKAGI. (Refer to Takagi’s
“T-Vent” brochure for details.) However, the following are also UL listed manufacturers: ProTech
Systems Inc. (FasNSeal), Flex-L Inc., Z-Flex Inc. (Z-Vent III), Metal-Fab Inc., and Heat-Fab Inc. (Saf-T
Vent).
• Follow the vent pipe manufacturer’s instructions when installing the vent pipe.
• Do not common vent this appliance with any other vented appliance. (Do not terminate vent
into a chimney. If the vent must go through the chimney, the vent must run all the way through
the chimney with Category III / IV approved or Special BH vent pipe.)
• The maximum length of exhaust vent piping must not exceed 30.5 m (100 ft.) (deducting 1.5 m
(5 ft.) for each elbow used in the venting system). Do not use more than 5 elbows.
• When the horizontal vent run exceeds 1.5 m (5 ft.), support the vent run at 0.9 m (3 ft.) intervals
with overhead hangers.
