1. Type of Pipe
All pipe is field supplied. Requirements are listed for both the vent pipe and the com-
bustion air inlet pipe. Terminal vent pipe requirements vary depending on whether the
vent terminal is horizontal or vertical.
Venting
Requirements
2. Pipe Diameter and
Length
Pipe diameter and length requirements listed in
TABLE 1 are for the indoor sections of
pipe between the heater and the concentric adapter box.
TABLE 1 - Pipe
Diameter and Length
from Heater to
Concentric Adapter Box
• Minimum length
between the heater and
the concentric adapter
box is 3 ft (914mm).
3. Venter Outlet and
Combustion Air
Inlet
TABLE 3 - Diameter of
the Venter Outlet and
Combustion Air Inlet
TABLE 2 - Diameters
of Outdoor Concentric
Terminal Pipes
The outdoor lengths depend on the
installation; requirements are listed
in the installation instructions for the
horizontal terminal (Option CC6) and
vertical terminal (Option CC2) vent/
combustion air kits.
Pipe diameters and maximum indoor vent lengths in
TABLE 1 apply to both horizontal and vertical vent/combustion
air systems. Add
all straight sections and equivalent lengths for elbows. The total length of the straight sections and
elbows must not exceed the Maximum Length.
Diameters of the outside (terminal) concentric pipes are listed in
TABLE 2.

Horizontal or
Vertical Vent
Pipe Run
Vent pipe approved for a Category III appliance
OR single-wall, 26-gauge or heavier galvanized
(or a material of equivalent durability and corrosion resistance) vent pipe is
required between
the heater and the concentric adapter box.
Horizontal Vent
Terminal (using
Option CC6 Kit)
Vent pipe approved for a Category III appliance
OR single-wall, 26-gauge or heavier galvanized
(or a material of equivalent durability and corrosion resistance) vent pipe is
required for the
horizontal vent terminal section. The length of vent pipe that extends through the box and
runs concentric through the combustion air pipe must be one-piece with no joints.
Vertical Vent
Terminal (using
Option CC2 Kit)
Double-wall (Type B) vent pipe is
required for the vertical vent terminal section. The length
of vent pipe that extends through the box and runs concentric through the combustion air pipe
must be one-piece with no joints.
Combustion Air
Inlet Pipe
Sealed, single-wall galvanized pipe is recommended for vent run and terminal combustion air
pipe.
