This water heater is a power vented appliance and is designed to vent its
products of combustion through 2" (5.1 cm) or 3" (7.6 cm) diameter vent pipe to
the outdoors. The water heater may be either vented horizontally through the
wall or vertically through the roof. Use a 3" (7.6 cm) to 2" (5.1 cm) reducer to
connect to the vent outlet when using 3" (7.6 cm) vent pipe. Apply proper
cement at joint locations. Table 5 lists the maximum vent lengths for this water
heater using 2" (5.1 cm) vent pipe. If possible, locate the water heater so that
the venting length and number of elbows are kept to the minimum distance
necessary to reach the outside. If the installation requires venting lengths that
exceed the lengths listed for 2" (5.1 cm) vent pipe in Table 5 then use 3" (7.6
cm) vent pipe for the vent connector.
Table 6 lists the venting distances allowed with 3" (7.6 cm) diameter vent pipe.
When venting with 3" (7.6 cm) vent pipe, use a 3" (7.6 cm) to 2" (5.1 cm)
reducer to exit through the building wall with 2" (5.1 cm) vent pipe. Use the 2"
(5.1 cm) vent terminal supplied with the water heater to terminate on the
outside of the building. If the length of the 2" (5.1 cm) needed to go through the
wall is greater than 14" (35.6 cm), use 3" (7.6 cm) vent pipe to go through the
wall and reduce to 2" (5.1 cm) vent pipe immediately after exiting the outside
wall. Refer to the venting illustrations on the following pages. Make sure the
vent pipe terminal is at least 1" (2.5 cm) away from the edge of the wall.
