1.6 Locating Appliance for Correct
Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance
From Outside Wall
The forced draft combustion air blower in the
appliance has sufficient power to pull air and vent
properly when the guidelines for horizontal air and
vent are followed (see Table 1).
NOTE: On some models, the vent collar size is
larger than the size of the vent pipe that can be
used. Vent collar size and horizontal pipe diameters
can be found in Table 1. The larger vent collar
size is to accommodate Category I (vertical) vent
systems.

NOTE: When located on the same wall, the
Mighty Stack combustion air intake terminal must
be installed a minimum of 12" (30cm) below the

of 36 inches (91cm) horizontally.
The air intake terminal must be installed high
enough to avoid blockage from snow, leaves and other
debris.
