THROUGH

THE

ROOF

:

It is the sole responsibility of the installer to
adhere to all current local codes and/or ANSI
Z223.1 / CSA.B149.1 latest editions for all
venting requirements, and practices.



Use an approved ‘B-vent’ termination cap
as supplied by the manufacturer of the ap-
proved ‘B-vent’.



When vent and combustion air are taken
through the roof, the exhaust vent should
always terminate higher than the combus-
tion air intake, to prevent recycling the
products of combustion back into the
heater



At most a quantity of three 90° elbows can be installed in a vertical vent

:

MINIMUM VENT LENGTH: (Vented or Unvented [indirect mechanical ventilation])



Minimum vent length of 3 ft (91 cm) is required

MAXIMUM SYSTEM LENGTH (includes:

Tube Heater length + combustion air duct +

vent

):



Each 90° elbow in the system has an equivalent length of 5 ft.



A maximum of 2 elbows are allowed in any portion (duct, tube heater, vent) with the ex-
ception of up to three 90° elbows in a vertical vent run through the roof



Combustion air duct may be 4” or 5” diameter and is not to exceed lengths in table below

 Exceeding the allowable lengths in the table below can create combustion and/or conden-

sation problems and will void CSA Certification and the heater warranty.

 Do not exceed the Maximum Combined System Length regardless of the allowed maximum

length of individual vent or combustion air duct
