This unit can vent through 2”, 3” or 4” nonmetallic pipe and fi ttings.

The vent pipe installation can be started from either the blower 
discharge or the termination wall.  Keep in mind the total vent system 
(pipe and elbows) when installing the vent system, see VENTING AND 
INSTALLATION AND MAXIMUM VENT LENGTHS, page 17.

 

The vent terminal should be kept as close as possible to the outside wall, 
but you need to allow at least 1.5” (3.8 cm) of pipe past the wall, for the 
wall fl ange and vent terminal to mount on the pipe.

Before the vent terminal is installed, caulk (not supplied) around the 
pipe on the exterior wall and install the optional wall fl ange. The fl ange 
can be held to the outside wall by placing some of the caulking on the 
back of the fl ange. The wall fl ange is supplied for decorative purposes 
only and is not a requirement for the vent termination (if not needed by 
the installer).

This unit is approved for venting through the roof with the type vent 
terminal that is included with the unit.  A proper fl ashing or “BOOT” should 
be used to seal the pipe where it exits the roof.

The total vent system should not exceed that which is specifi ed,  see 
VENTING AND INSTALLATION, page 17.

All of the pipe should be secured as per the instructions in the instructions 
in the VENTING AND INSTALLATION, page 17.

1.  Minimum of twelve 12” (30.5 cm) above the roof or twelve 12”

(30.5 cm) above the anticipated snow level.  Provide proper support 
for all pipe protruding through the roof.

2.  4’ (1.2 m) from or 1’ (0.3 m) above any gable, dormer, or other roof 

structure with access to interior of building (i.e.-vent, window etc.).

3.   3’ (0.9 m) above any forced air inlet located within 10’ (3.0 m).
