• Insulate the entire length of vent
pipe, between the elbow where the
pipe exits the wall and the elbow
where the termination is made, with
a closed-cell insulation, such as
"Arm-a-Flex" or "Rub-a-Tex" with a
minimum of 1/2 thickness.
• All elbows installed on the exterior
of the building must be of the long
sweep nature.
• As required for the horizontal piping
ran within the structure, any pipe
ran horizontal outside the structure
must slope upward a minimum of
1/4 per foot run so that condensate
drains toward the furnace.
From the top elbow in the exhaust
pipe, extend a length of PVC pipe
outward so that it terminates exactly
12 inches from the wall. See Figure
17. Reduce the termination pipe
extension to is 1

45,000 BTUH through 75,000 BTUH
units.
The 45,000 BTUH unit only uses kit
RXGY-D02. The 60,000 BTUH and
75,000 BTUH units may use kits
RXGY-D02 or RXGY-D03 depending
on pipe lengths and number of
elbows. Use kit RXGY-D03 with
90,000 BTUH through 120,000 BTUH
units. The RXGY-D04 kit only
applies to the 120,000 BTUH unit
using an alternate termination and
excessively long runs. See Table 2.

RXGY-D02, RXGY-D03 and RXGY-
