Venting for Direct-Vent Water Heater (cont.)
Horizontal Vent Installation (cont.)
Using a thick bead of high temperature silicone,
seal the overlapping area of the outer 5-in. (12.7-
cm) pipe.
Attach required vent sections between the water
heater collar and the horizontal vent termination.
Typical Horizontal Termination with
1/4 In. Per Foot of DOWNWARD Slope
!
CAUTION:
The condensate collector must be used in
horizontal terminations if vertical rise in the vent
system exceeds 2 feet (610 mm).*
NOTICES:
• Maintain the proper clearance between the
vent pipe and combustible or noncombustible
materials as described on page 29.
• A zero clearance of 0 in. (0 cm) is allowed
between the air intake pipes and combustible
material.
• Use proper support for the vent and air intake
pipes as described on page 34.
• Support method used should isolate the
vent pipe from floor joists or other structural
members. This helps prevent transmission of
noise and vibration.
• DO NOT support, pin, or secure the venting
system in a way that restricts the normal
thermal expansion and contraction of the
chosen venting material.
