Venting
Warning: Do not reduce the vent
(exhaust and combustion) pipe sizes
and do not common vent with any other
vented appliance or stove.
Warning: Failure to vent the exhaust
gases to the outside with sealed
stainless steel vent pipe (AL29-4C)
may result in dangerous flue gases
filling the space in which it is installed.
Warning: Do not mix vent pipe or
joining methods from different
manufactures.

The appliance should be located as close to the point
of termination as possible. The maximum vent length is
39 feet (12 m) with one 90 degree elbow. Subtract
feet from the total vent length for each additional 90°
elbow used (a maximum of four 90° elbows are
permitted in the total vent length), or subtract
every 45° elbow used. Horizontal sections of vent must

Note: Listed thimbles or collars are necessary to pass
through wall and ceiling partitions. If the vent system
passes through combustible areas where the vent
clearance requirements cannot be maintained, it is
permissible to chase straight sections of sealed 3 inch
single wall vent through 4 inch (or greater) Type-B vent.
The distance to combustibles using this chase
technique is 1 inch. Note: Type-B vent should never
be used as the actual exhaust vent system for the
appliance, as it is not gas tight.
