Standard Vent or Direct Vent Versatility!

Genesis

boilers provide multiple options for exhaust venting and standard indoor atmospheric or direct-from-
outdoors (direct vent) intake of combustion air. Sidewall vent and intake runs can save substantially on
installation costs where vertical runs are not practical. Direct vent operation utilizes a 2-pipe system that allows
clean, uncontaminated outside air to be pulled directly into the unit, and is an ideal choice when negative
indoor air pressure is a concern.
Multiple Venting Options
n
The Genesis models offer eight venting options to meet the most challenging installation requirements. The
Genesis can vent vertically in Category I with double wall “B” vent or horizontally in Category IV with AL29-4C
stainless steel vent material. Vent termination can be Rooftop or Sidewall with combustion air drawn naturally
from the equipment room or via dedicated air intake piping. And if floor space is limited, the Genesis water
heater can be installed outdoors with an optional Outdoor Vent Cap.
Note: For the most current Genesis venting distances/information, consult the Genesis Product Manual, available
through your local A. O. Smith representative, or online at www.hotwater.com.
