V
ERTICAL VENT THROUGH THE ROOF
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to
adhere to all current local codes and/or ANSI
Z223.1 / CSA.B149.1 latest editions for all
venting requirements, and practices.

Use an approved 'B-vent' termination cap
as supplied by the manufacturer of the ap-
proved 'B-vent'.

When vent and combustion air are taken
through the roof, the exhaust vent should
always terminate higher than the combus-
tion air intake, to prevent recycling the
products of combustion back into the
heater

At most a quantity of three 90° elbows can be installed in a vertical vent
11A. Combined System Length: Tube Heater + Vent + Combustion Air Duct
MINIMUM VENT LENGTH: (Vented or Unvented)

Minimum vent length of 3 ft (91 cm) is required
MAXIMUM SYSTEM LENGTH (includes: Tube Heater length + combustion air duct + vent):

Each 90° elbow in the system has an equivalent length of 5 ft.

A maximum of 2 elbows are allowed in any portion (duct, tube heater, vent) with the ex-
ception of up to three 90° elbows in a vertical vent run through the roof

The maximum length of combustion air duct to any heater is not to exceed 30 feet

Exceeding the allowable lengths in the table below can create combustion and/or conden-
sation problems and will void CSA Design Certification and the heater warranty.
