Direct Vent Installation Diagrams - Polaris PGC Instruction Manual

DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS

Notes:
1. Support Horizontal Pipe Every
Four Feet. Support Vertical
Pipe Every Six Feet.
2. Increase the 12" minimum
above grade to keep terminal
openings above anticipated snow
levels.
3. Slope all piping 1/8" per foot down
toward water heater.
4. When venting with 2" pipe, a sufficient
length of 3" pipe (6" minimum) must be
inserted into the exhaust and inlet elbow
assembly before transitioning down to 2" pipe
with a 3" x 2" reducer.
5. For units with inputs of 150,000 BTU/hr and
below, use 2" or 3" pipe. For units with inputs
of 175,000 BTU/hr and above, use only 3" pipe.
6. See Figure 11 from "Vent Pipe Termination" on
page 23 to properly locate the inlet and
exhaust terminals.
*Direct vent combustion air intake drains are required in certain situations.
See the section on Direct Vent Air Intake Moisture Protection on page 25
