comply could result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.

Determine location

Locate the vent/air terminations using the following guidelines:
1. The total length of piping for vent or air must not exceed
the limits given in the General Venting Section on page 16
of this manual.
2. You must consider the surroundings when terminating
the vent and air:
a. Position the vent termination where vapors will
not damage nearby
conditioning equipment or be objectionable.
b. The flue products will form a noticeable plume as
they condense in cold air. Avoid areas where the
plume could obstruct window views.
c. Prevailing winds
condensate and water/ice buildup where flue
products impinge on building surfaces or plants.
d. Avoid possibility of accidental contact of flue
products with people or pets.
e. Do not locate the terminations where wind eddies
could affect performance or cause recirculation,
such as inside building corners, near adjacent
buildings or surfaces, window wells, stairwells,
alcoves, courtyards, or other recessed areas.
Sidewall vent and air inlet terminations
WARNING
must terminate in the same pressure zone.
f. Do not terminate above any door or window.
Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations.
g. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate damage
to exterior finishes.
