limited with the use of the flue temperature sensor and software to ensure that the maximum
temperature of the PVC venting material is not exceeded. PVC venting material shall be
certified to Sch. 40 ASTM D1785 or D2665. CPVC material shall be certified to Sch. 40/ASTM

Direct vent is a two-pipe system that draws combustion air (air
intake) from outdoors, and discharges exhaust gases to the
outdoors. Ensure that adequate separation is maintained
between the air intake inlet and the exhaust vent terminal. Refer
to the vent terminal configuration drawings in the "Vent
Termination" sections.
