    VENTING INSTALLATION REAR WALL VENT INSTALLATION When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance with 1' of vertical rise minimum. The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance and the outside of termination is 20" (508 m). See Figure 11.
  • Page 18 VENT INSTALLATION REAR WALL VENT INSTALLATION (continued) 4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP” on the vent cap facing up.
  • Page 19: Horizontal Termination Configuration

    VENT INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS — RIGID VENTING Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
  • Page 20 VENT INSTALLATION 90° HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATION — RIGID VENTING (Continued) • If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36" (914 mm) (Fig. 21 A and B) This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.
  • Page 21: Below Grade Installation

    VENT INSTALLATION BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS — RIGID VENTING When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing Wall Strap...
  • Page 24: Cathedral Ceiling Installation

    VENT INSTALLATION 4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole. NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. See Figure 25, page 22. Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.
