HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING FLEXIBLE DUCT (FLEX-VENT)

See Figures 22, 23 (page 29) and 25
NOTE: THE ALLOWABLE VENT RUNS FOR EACH VENT PIPE DIAMETER ARE DIFFERENT AND CAN
NOT BE EXCEEDED.
It is recommended that vent runs over 5.4 m (18 ft) may need to be insulated to reduce condensation related problems
and/or the use of a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater may be necessary in certain installations such
as cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 m (3 feet) or less in length do not require a condensate tee. The MasterTemp
heater is suitable for through-the-wall venting. See Table 7 for maximum permissible Flexible Vent lengths.

Minimum vent length is 0.34M (1 ft.) or in
accordance with vent manufacturer's instruction,
and local and national codes. Horizontal vents
1 m (3 in) or less in length do not require a
condensate tee, but must slope down toward the
outlet at 2 cm to the meter (1/4 in / ft.) to allow
condensate to drain.
Table 7.
NOTE: KEEP A 150 CM (6 IN) MINIMUM CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE AND
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES. FOLLOW THE VENT MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Each 90° bend reduces the maximum horizontal vent run by 3.6 m (12 feet) and each 45° bend in the vent
run reduces the maximum vent run by 1.8 m (6 feet). See Table 7) for the maximum vent length using one 90°
bend.
After installation, installer must check for correct and safe operation of the heater.
