Vent configuration examples for PP, PVC, CPVC, or ABS
systems
Below are approved examples of vertical and horizontal venting
installations.
Fig. 12 PP concentric kit venting
NOTICE: Using a single pipe vent in cold climates puts
the water heater at risk of freezing, as negative air
pressure is common in buildings during cold weather.
This situation will pull cold air through the heat
exchanger and can lead to damage and a water leak.
Freeze damage to the water heater is not covered under
warranty.
