Vent lengths shown in the table are for horizontal and vertical venting. If a longer length of vertical or horizontal
venting is required contact the manufacturer for assistance with vent sizing.
SINGLE HEATER VENTING
1. When venting the heater to outside of building through a roof, use single-wall metal pipe. This is to be
constructed of galvanized sheet metal or other approved noncombustible corrosion-resistant material as
allowed by state or local codes.
2. A vent passing through a combustible roof shall extend through an approved clearance roof thimble.
Double-wall, Type B vent must be used for the portion of the vent system which passes through the roof. An
approved vent cap (Leslie "VersaCap"-Type B or equal) must be attached to end of the flue.
3. The maximum equivalent length of vent pipe should be carefully observed. A safety switch in the heater is
designed to shut the heater off before excessive flue restriction causes bad combustion. Refer to the Vent
Sizing Table for maximum vent lengths and vent pipe diameter.
4. Joints between sections of piping shall be fastened by sheet metal screws or other approved means and
should be sealed to prevent leakage of flue gas into building. Aluminum or Teflon tape suitable for 550ºF
(3M Company tapes 433 or 363) or silicone sealant is recommended.
5. All portions of the vent pipe shall be supported to prevent from sagging (6' spacing is recommended).
6. When the vent pipe passes through areas where the ambient temperature is likely to induce condensation of
