HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING
(Category III)
The allowable vent runs for each vent pipe diameter are different and can not be exceeded. Each 90° elbow
reduces the maximum horizontal vent run by 12 feet and each 45-degree elbow in the vent run reduces the maximum
vent run by 6 ft. See the Table 6 below for the maximum vent lengths using 90° elbows.

Minimum vent length is one foot (.34M),
or in accordance with vent manufacturer's
instruction, and local and national codes.
Horizontal vents 3'(1M) or less in length
do not require a condensate tee, but must
slope down toward the outlet at 1/4" to the
foot (2cm/M) to allow condensate to drain.
CAUTION
Do NOT combine exhaust vent pipes to a
common exhaust vent in multiple unit
installations. Run separate vent pipes.
