4.6.4 Recommended Vent Configuration Examples
Below are approved examples of vertical and horizontal venting
installations.
NOTICE: Using a single pipe vent in cold
climates puts the water heater at risk of
freezing, as negative air pressure is common
in buildings during cold weather. This
situation will pull cold air through the heat
exchanger and can lead to damage and a
water leak and is not covered by the
product's warranty. In the event of negative
air pressure causing back drafting contact
Bosch for information.
