WARNING: Vent connectors serving appliances
vented by natural draft shall not be connected into
any portion of mechanical draft systems operating
under a positive pressure.
CAUTION: Vent connectors for natural draft
venting systems must be Type B or better.
Common venting systems may be too large once an
existing unit is removed. At the time of removal of an
existing appliance, the following steps must be fol-
lowed with each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused opening in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and verify there is no block-
age, restriction, leakage, corrosion or other unsafe
condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system are located and other spaces
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any ap-
pliance not connected to the common vent
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range

* Vent lengths are based on a lateral length of 2 ft. Refer to the latest edition of the NFGC for further details.
When vertical height exceeds 25 ft, consult factory prior to installation.
** Subtract 10 ft per elbow. Max. 3 elbows.

hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum-
speed. Do not operate summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliances being inspected.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for lighting
each appliance. Adjust thermostat so appliance
will operate continuously.
5. Check the pressure at a pressure tap located 12
in. above the bottom joint of the first vertical vent
pipe. Pressure should be anywhere between -0.01
and -0.08 in. WC.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting sys-
tem properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and other gas burning appliances to their
previous conditions of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so that the installation
conforms with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).
When re-sizing any portion of the common venting
system, the common venting system should be re-
sized to approach the minimum size as
determined using the appropriate tables in the
NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).
8. Common venting under CAT III (positive vent pres-
sure) conditions is not supported.
