• Covering non-metallic vent pipe and fittings with thermal insulation is prohibited.
•
•
In Canada, plastic vent systems must be certified to ULC S636. The components of the certified
vent system must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe/fittings.
• In Canada, specified primers and glues of the ULC S636 certified vent system must be from a
single system manufacturer and not intermixed with other system manufacturer’s vent system parts.
• Follow all general venting guidelines as outlined on this page.
• The pipe shall be installed so that the first 3’ (0.9m) of pipe from the appliance flue outlet is readily
accessible for visual inspection.
• When preparing and assembling the pipe, follow instructions as provided by the pipe
manufacturer. In general, the following practices must be observed:
o Squarely cut all pieces of pipe.
o Remove all burs and debris from joints and fittings.
o All joints must be properly cleaned, primed, and cemented. Use only cement and primer
approved for use with the pipe material as outlined in the above table.

All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a minimum of 3’ (0.9m) intervals. Do not use
the water heater to support the vent piping.
2" or 3" schedule 80 pipe may also be used on this appliance, however the BTUH input of the
appliance will be reduced by up to 9%.
