Vent Pipe Material
Installer supplied vent pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement
must be part of the Westlake Pipe & Fittings GVS-65 Gas Venting
System. Vent pipe and fittings must be sized according to appliance
manufacturer recommendations.
Installation:
1. Determine the best location for the vent termination. In addition
to all applicable codes, consider the following:
a. Minimize the length of pipe and fittings in the piping. Consult
the appliance installation manual to determine maximum
length of pipe and fittings allowed.
b. Termination kit should be positioned where vent vapors will not
damage plants, shrubs, building materials, or air-conditioning
equipment, or where the vapors might be objectionable.
c. Termination kit should be located where it will not be affected
by wind gusts, snow build up, leaves or other debris that will
inhibit the function of the vent exhaust or intake.
2. Vent may be oriented as shown below as long as it is mounted
on a vertical wall.
3. If multiple vent kits are being installed, there must be at least 16"
horizontal space between the vent caps. To prevent possibility
of condensate freeze up, do not locate the vent kits above one
another.
