Instructions / Assembly
e) It is required that means shall be provided for
draining the condensate. The venting system must
be sloped upwards not less than 20mm per 1,000mm
from the appliance to the vent terminal in order to
prevent the collection of condensate. Refer to the
appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions for
further details regarding condensate drain ttings.
f) Insulation must not interfere with any necessary
clearances.
g) Provide support as close as reasonably possible to
any ttings to alleviate excessive stress at joints and
within the piping system as a whole. Supports,
hangers and anchors should be suitable for use with
plastic pipe.
h) Horizontal runs of PVC pipe must be supported at
intervals of no more than 5 feet unless otherwise
specied by local regulatory codes, the local
authority having jurisdiction, or the appliance
manufacturer.
i) Vertical runs of PVC pipe should be adequately
supported at the rst penetration in order to bear the
weight of the vertical run. The pipe should be
securely fastened to the support structure.
Additional supports should be utilized on the vertical
run, but they must allow for movement due to
expansion and contraction.
j) Utilize ½” or ¾” steel strapping (or equivalent)
fastened to the support structure to support PVC
pipe runs. Framing nails or screws may be used to
fasten the strapping to the support structure.
HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL MOUNTING
NOTE:
• For proper function, never install vent on side of structure
exposed to prevailing winter winds.
• Consult your furnace installation instructions for allowable
exhaust and intake air pipe placement and length.
