11.11.1 - Description and usage

The termination kit must terminate outside the
structure and must be installed as shown in
Figure 11-19.
The required concentric termination kit as well as
combustion air and vent pipe materials are listed
in Figures 11-7 and 11-8.
The termination ending must be protected from
rain, see Figure 11-20.
11.11.2 - Sidewall termination
installation
1.- Determine the best location for the
termination kit (see Figures 11-19 and 11-20);
2.- The total length of piping for vent or air must
not exceed the limits given in Section 11.3;
3.- You must consider the surroundings when
terminating the vent and air:
a. Position the vent termination where vapors
will not damage nearby shrubs, plants or air
conditioning equipment or be objectionable;
b. The flue products will form a noticeable
plume as they condense in cold air. Avoid
areas where the plume could obstruct
window views;
c. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of
condensate and water/ice buildup where
flue products impinge on building surfaces
or plants;
d. Avoid possibility of accidental contact of flue
products with people or animals;
e. Do not terminate above any door or window.
Condensate can freeze, causing ice
formations;
f. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate
damage to exterior finishes.
4.- Cut one (1) hole 5 inch diameter into the
structure to install the termination kit;
5.- Install the Concentric vent kit following the
concentric kit manufacturer's instruction.
NOTICE! Ensure termination location clearance
dimensions are as shown in Figures 11-19 and
11-20.
CAUTION!!!
couplings to extend pipes. Airflow
restriction will occur and may cause
intermittent operation.
6.- Operate the appliance one (1) heat cycle
to ensure combustion air and vent pipes are
properly connected to the concentric vent
termination connections.
