NOTE - Concentric terminations are the equivalent of 5' and should be considered when measuring pipe length.
NOTE- Maximum uninsulated vent lengths listed may include the termination (vent pipe exterior to the structure ) and cannot exceed
5 linear feet or the maximum allowable intake or exhaust vent length listed in Table 6 or Table 7A through Table 7C.
NOTE - If insulation is required an unconditioned space, it must be located on the pipe closed to the furnace.
