Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Pipe Terminations
The vent/flue and combustion air pipes may terminate vertically, as through a roof, or horizontally, as through an outside wall.

NOTES:
Maximum allowable limits listed are individual lengths for inlet
and flue and not a combination.
Elbows and/or tees used in the terminations must be
included when determining the number of elbows in the
piping system.
Number of elbows tabulated are for each vent/flue and
combustion air intake pipe.
Minimum length of each vent/flue and combustion air intake
pipe is 5 ft (1.5 m) and one elbow/tee.

2¹⁄₂" (6.4 cm) or 3" (7.6 cm) diameter pipe can be used in
place of 2" (5.1 cm) diameter pipe.
Increased clearance configurations using two 45º long-sweep
elbows should be considered equivalent to one 90º elbow.
Vertical pipe terminations should be as shown in "Vertical
Terminations (Dual Pipe)" illustration. Refer to "Termination
Locations" in this section for details concerning location
restrictions. The penetrations through the roof must be sealed
tight with the proper flashing such as is used with a plastic
plumbing vent.
