To determine the dimension of a   system
Determine the vent diameter (D) and the total vent length based on the number of water 
height (H). See the table below.
•  Total vent length (L)="H"+"W" + 
(Number of Elbows x 5)
•  Vent diameter="D"
WARNING
•  A Non-Return Valve must be installed for each water heater. This prevents 
the escape of combuson gas through non-operang appliances. 
•  For  detailed  instrucons  on  the  common-venng  system,  refer  to  the 
instrucons that are packaged with the vent parts or web site.
*Diameters of pipes are in accordance with Centrotherm's specificaons.
**One elbow is equivalent to 5  (1.5 m) linear length, and the maximum number of elbows is 5.
NOTICE
•  Regarding the clearances 
between  the  exhaust 
terminaon  and  the 
to pp. 26 to 28.
•  Insert bird screen in
elbow terminals.
