propylene vent pipe at the entrance of the chim-
ney or chase to prevent mortar or cement from
contacting the polypropylene vent pipe.
• Any termination piping external to the building
must be UV resistant.

vent manufacturers clearances to combustibles.
• Plastic venting systems shall not pass through rat-
ed fire separations without approved fire stopping
