NOTE: Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) includes standard and concentric vent termination and does NOT include elbows.
Use Table 16 - Deductions from Maximum Equivalent Vent Length to determine allowable vent length for each application.

Notes:
1. Use only the vent pipe sizes shown for each furnace. It is NOT necessary to choose the smallest diameter pipe possible for venting.
2. NA --- Not allowed. Pressure switch will not close, or flame disturbance may result.
3. Vent sizing for Canadian installations over 4500 ft. (1370 M) above sea level are subject to acceptance by the local authorities having jurisdiction.
4. Size both the combustion air and vent pipe independently, then use the larger size for both pipes.
5. Assume the two 45_ elbows equal one 90_ elbow. Wide radius elbows are desirable and may be required in some cases.
6. Elbow and pipe sections within the furnace casing and at the vent termination should not be included in vent length or elbow count.
7. The minimum pipe length is 5 ft. (2 M) linear feet (meters) for all applications.
8. Use 3 ---in. (76 mm) diameter vent termination kit for installations requiring 4 ---in. (102 mm) diameter pipe.
