THE
ROOF
:
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ad-
here to all current local codes and/or ANSI
Z223.1 / CSA.B149.1 latest editions for all vent-
ing requirements, and practices.
Use an approved ‘B-vent’ termination cap as
supplied by the manufacturer of the approved
‘B-vent’.
When vent and combustion air are taken
through the roof, the exhaust vent should al-
ways terminate higher than the combustion
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

12A. Combined System Length: Tube Heater + Vent + Combustion Air Duct
:
MINIMUM VENT LENGTH: (Vented or Unvented [indirect mechanical ventilation])
Minimum vent length of 3 ft (91 cm) is required (
NOTE: 200,000 LP: Minimum 8 ft (244 cm)
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 maxi-
mum length of individual vent or combustion air duct
