Installation MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VENT LENGTHS Feet Meters Important information for all installations: 1) The minimum required venting is what is required to safely extend the inlet and outlet vent pipes outside of the building. 15.2 2) Each 90° elbow (standard or long sweep elbow) reduces the 18.3 equivalent vent length by 5 feet (1.5m). - Page 12 DO NOT use 6 inch rigid venting with concentric vent terminations. Note: For Horizontal Power Direct Vent configurations, GHE119SS/SU models will need to have a 45 degree elbow on the intake and a 90 degree elbow on the exhaust, if they are on the same plane.
