need to be equidistant to the vent Tee, but must comply to requirements below. The two
heaters must be controlled by a single common thermostat or "ON/OFF" switch.

A minimum 12 inch (30 cm) length of minimum 26 gauge single walled 4" (10 cm) diameter
vent pipe is to be installed on the swaged end of the tube before any Tee or Elbow is fitted.

Seal all vent connections with high temperature sealant. Vent connections must be secured
with three (3) #8 sheet metal screws uniformly spaced around the circumference of the
vent pipe.

When the vent pipe passes through a cold or unheated area where the ambient tempera-
ture is likely to produce condensation of the flue gases, the vent pipe will be insulated with
a suitable material as approved and specified by the insulation manufacturer to withstand
temperature up to 460°F (238°C).

The vent system must always be adequately supported to prevent sagging.
