FIGURE 17
The total maximum allowable combined length of
vent and combustion air duct is 80' for STV-JZ
155 and 130, and 50' for STV-JZ 110, 80 and 60.
Total maximum allowable combined vent and
duct is reduced by ten feet for every 90
installed in the vent or duct. Should the tube sys-
tem be installed with a 90
in the radiant tube, 10 ft or 20 ft respectively must
be deducted from the length of vent and duct. Nei-
ther the individual flue vent nor the combustion
air duct is to exceed 50 ft in length. Exceeding the
allowable lengths may create condensation prob-
lems and will void CSA Design Certification. .
The horizontal flue vent shall not terminate less
than the following guidelines except where indi-
cated in brackets:
One feet above grade level, unless its location

is adjacent to public walkways, then it has to
be not less than seven feet.
Must be installed to prevent blockage by snow

and protect building materials from degrada-
tion by flue gases.
