7 Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual Enerco | Compact Unit Heater
5. Vent termination must be a minimum of 4' (1.2m) below or 4’
(1.2m) horizontally from any soffit vent or under-eave vent.
6. Vent must be a minimum of 6' from an inside corner formed
by two exterior walls. If possible, leave a 10' clearance.
7. Vent termination must be a minimum of 10' (3m) from any
forced air inlet (includes fresh air inlet for other appliances,
such as a dryer).
8. When termination is routed through an exterior combustible
wall the vent must be supported using a listed clearance
thimble. Where local authorities permit, a single section of
type B-1 vent pipe may be used as an alternative to the
thimble. When using a type B-1 vent termination use the
clearances specified by the vent manufacturer. Seal the
connection between the single wall and double wall pipes and
the annular space of the double wall pipe as shown in figure
2. Inside edge of vent termination tee must be at least 12
inches from outside wall as shown in figure 3 .
9. For horizontal venting, the vent pipe shall be supported with
hangers no more than 3ft. (1m) apart to prevent movement
after installation.
D – HORIZONTAL VENTING – COMMERCIAL
1. Horizontal commercial installations are for buildings which are
not attached to living spaces. The vent may be single wall
vent material installed according to the sections
Venting A - General Recommendations and Requirements
and C - Horizontal Venting General and
D - Horizontal Venting - Commercial. Refer to figure 3.
2. The vent pipe diameter for horizontal commercial
installations shall be 4" (101mm) on the 45 and 75units. In all
cases a flue transition piece (supplied) is required to fit over
the outlet of the induced draft assembly on the appliance.
3. Refer to table 2 for maximum vent connector lengths.
4. Select a wall termination point that will maintain ¼” rise per
foot slope of horizontal run of vent pipe. The vent may be
single wall material minimum 26 GSG (0.46mm) galvanized
steel or equivalent grade stainless steel. Seal single wall vent
material according to the section A - General
Recommendations and Requirements.
5. For upward sloped vent a condensate tee and drain must be
installed within the first 5’ (1.5m) from the unit heater to
protect the appliance. If a flexible condensate drain line is
used, the drain line must include a loop entering the structure.
If the unit is shut down for an extended period of time and
will be exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, the condensate
may freeze.
E – HORIZONTAL VENTING – RESIDENTIAL
1. For horizontal residential installations these units are certified
as Category I appliances. The vent may be single wall
material minimum 25 GSG (0.46mm) galvanized steel or
equivalent grade stainless steel. Venting A - General
Recommendations and Requirements and C - Horizontal
Venting General and E - Horizontal Venting - Residential.
Refer to figure 6 .
2. The vent pipe diameter for horizontal residential installations
shall be 4" (101mm) on both 45 and 75 units. A standard vent
transition is required at unit in addition to the transition
supplied with the unit.
3. The maximum vent length is 5’ (1.5m) plus one 90-degree
elbow.
4. The vent must maintain a ¼” rise per foot of slope upwards
toward the termination.
