Vent Requirements

!
Always maintain the required 1" clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
!
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
¥
The vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and have a minimum 5' vertical rise
¥
Horizontal run may not exceed 50% of the vertical rise
¥
Use 4" listed gas chimney liner or B vent from one manufacturer (don't mix brands)
? When using flexible gas vent, do not crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets
¥
When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements
? When installed, the vent must provide suitable draft for the appliance. Other factors, such as exhaust
fans, may create negative pressure inside the home and cause down drafts. Additional vent height
may be required in these circumstances.

barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust

not be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.
