fIGure 25.
The 3" PVC, ABS, or CPVC Schedule 40 vent pipe can be run
from the water heater through the wall or from the wall to the water
heater, whichever is most convenient. The vent pipe must extend a
minimum of 1 1/2" (4 cm) through the exterior wall. Extending the
vent cap as far as possible from the surface of the exterior wall
will help minimize discoloration of the wall. Note that the inside flue
mounting adaptors must be slipped over the vent piping before
locating the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and
outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and
opening to insure a water and air tight seal.
