Horizontal Or Vertical Venting Flexible - Waterco Turbotemp 200HD Installation And Operation Manual

HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING FLEXIBLE DUCT (FLEX-VENT)
(See Figures 15, 16, 17 & 19)
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 Turbotemp heater
is suitable for through-the-wall venting.
See Table 8 for maximum permissible
Flexible Vent lengths.
!
CAUTION
Do NOT combine exhaust vent pipes
to a common exhaust vent in multiple
unit installations. Run separate vent
pipes.
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 8 for the maximum
NOTE
After installation, installer must check for correct and safe operation of the heater.
Corrosive Vapors and Possible Causes
Area
Chlorinated swimming
pools and spas
New construction and
remodeling areas

industrial finishing and
processing plants
Dry cleaning and laundry areas
No. of 90° Bends
*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.
** Radius minimum to be 110 mm (4.33 in) as shown in
