1.0 Venting and Combustion Air Requirements (cont’d)
1.7 Condensation
On units with long vent runs (over 50% of maximum vent length allowed) or
installed in low ambient conditions (below 50°F), it is recommended that vent
pipes be fitted with a tee, a drip leg, and a clean out cap to prevent any mois-
ture in the vent pipe from entering the unit. The drip leg should be inspected and
cleaned out periodically during the heating season.
On all Model Sizes, any length of single-wall vent pipe exposed to cold air, or run
through an unheated area, or an area with an ambient temperature of 50°F or less,
must be insulated along its entire length with a minimum of 1/2” foil-faced fiber-
glass, 1-1/2# density insulation.
On horizontal vent runs, the flue pipe
must be pitched down toward the outlet 1/4”
per foot for condensate drainage. Slope applies to entire length of horizontal vent run.
Failure to pitch vent run properly may damage unit due to condensate running back
into the unit.

All UDAS and UDBS installations
require a concentric adapter box designed to allow
both combustion air and venting with only one building penetration. The concentric
adapter box is included in the vent/combustion air terminal kit. Components and
instructions depend on whether the vent terminal is horizontal (Option CC6) or vertical
(Option CC2).
The illustrations below apply to the concentric adapter box in both the horizontal termi-
nal vent/combustion air kit (Option CC6) and the vertical terminal vent/combustion air
kit (Option CC2). All dimensions are the same except for the opening for the vent pipe
(See
NOTE in FIGURE 6).
NOTE: A Model UDAS or UDBS 30, 45, 60, or 75 with a horizontal vent may use
Option CC14 instead of Option CC6. Option CC14 is a more aesthetic concentric vent
terminal/combustion air kit that terminates flush with the wall. If installing Option CC14,
follow the instructions in the option package (Form I-UDAS/UDBS/UEAS-ASC).
