NOTE: When using 4” (10.2 cm)
vent pipe, use two 4” (10.1 cm) to 3” (7.6
cm)
reducers for each portion of the vent. One reducer is installed just
after the blower and the other reducer is used just prior to exiting the
building. Exit the building wall with 3” (7.6 cm)
vent pipe using the 3”
(7.6 cm)
90

vent terminal supplied. Two 45 elbows are equivalent to one

90
