INTRODUCTION These instructions instruct how to install common exhaust vent kits for the commercial condensing gas water heaters covered by Table 1 shown below. A maximum of 3 commercial condensing gas water heaters may be common vented. Any combination of the models in Group 1 shown by Table 1 can be common vented, or any combination of the models in Group 2 can be common vented.
ADDITIONAL VENTING INFORMATION This common exhaust vent kit instruction is a supplement to the Instruction Manual that is supplied with the water heater. The multiple heater installation must satisfy all the requirements of the Instruction Manual as well as the requirements of this kit instruction.

NOTICE ® Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core CPVC, or Radel (polyphenosulfone) in non-metallic venting systems is prohibited and covering non- metallic venting with thermal insulation is prohibited. NOTICE Before beginning installation of any vent pipe, read the vent pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions. DO NOT install the water heater in any location where the ambient temperature may fall below freezing.

PHYSICAL LAYOUT - GENERAL NOTE: Do not use these parts to combine the commercial condensing gas water heaters with any other heater or gas appliance. The system layout must be planned to minimize the linear length and number of fittings in the system. Consult the water heater’s installation instructions in the I&O Manual for proper clearances for service which can be found under Section IV: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for Group 1 and 2.
Vent Gas Direction Combustion Air Direction FIGURE 2. SANITARY TEE as an acceptable substitute, provided they are arranged so that the flows are in the directions indicated in Figure 2. VENTING SUPPORTS DO NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT OF VENT SYSTEM ON THE HEATER. Supports must be installed every 3 feet of horizontal run and 5 feet of vertical run for both the intake and exhaust venting.

FIGURE 4. Recommended Horizontal Direct Vent System Installation. (Intake and Exhaust Terminals may be on different outside walls.) The air intake terminal is a 90° elbow pointing down and the exhaust terminal is the end of a straight pipe section when venting through a wall, see Figure 4.
Figure 6. Recommended Vertical Direct Vent System Installation for Flat Roof. Figure 5 shows the recommended vertical direct vent system installation for a pitched roof, Figure 6 shows an installation for a flat roof. For both configurations it is recommended that the exhaust and intake are terminated as shown.
