Venting
How to Read the Venting Chart
The chart below applies to co-axial roof or wall
termination.
1. Minimum 12 inch vertical pipe section required right
at unit.
2. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed
40 feet.
3. The minimum vertical height with roof termination
is 6 feet.
4. Any combination of rise and run can be used as long
as they are within the allowable limits shown on the
chart below.
5. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or equiva-
lent (2 x 45 degrees = 90 degrees)—can be used.

6. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizon-
tal plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe;
therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowable
horizontal run. (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to
18 inches horizontal pipe.)
7. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per
foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust fl ow.
The fi nal pipe length, when terminating through the
wall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent
water migration.
8. A restrictor adjustment is required for most installa-
tions having a vertical rise—see next section.
Note: The restrictor is shipped installed at the ex-
haust exit of the fi rebox.
