Installing Vent Pipe

Note:
For termination cap installations only, go directly to Sec-
tion E.
A. Clearances for the Vent Sections
• Top Vented Direct Vent Appliances
For all top vented, direct vent appliances, clearances to
combustible materials from the venting system need to
be maintained as shown in Figure 2.1.
• Rear Vented Direct Vent Appliances
See Figure 2.2.
Note:
Refer to the appliance installation instructions for al-
lowed vent lengths and confi gurations.

B. Penetrating a Wall
Wherever a combustible wall is penetrated, the hole must
be framed with an interior wall shield (DVP-WS) as shown in
Figures 2.3-2.4. This shield maintains minimum clearances
and restricts cold air infi ltration. If the wall being penetrated is
of noncombustible materials (material which will not ignite or
burn, or has a UL fi re rating of zero), a 9 in. diameter hole is
acceptable. Whenever a wall is penetrated the wall shield is only
required on one side and no heat shield is necessary. If your
local inspector requires the wall shield on both sides, then both
wall shields must have a heat shield attached to them.
