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 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 pipe 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
INSTALLATIONS UP TO 4500 FEET (Higher altitudes refer to Section 26)
