Horizontal Vent Installation
Read these instructions thoroughly and make
sure you understand all steps and procedures
before proceeding with the installation.
Determine the locations for the vent ter-
minal then make a hole through the exte-
rior wall to accommodate the vent pipe.
• Maintain a minimum horizontal dis-
tance of 12 in. (30.5 cm) between the
vent terminal centerline. Insert vent
pipe through the wall as shown.
• Allow sufcient length of pipe to extend
beyond the exterior wall of the build-
ing for attachment of the vent terminal.
Place the supplied mesh metal screen
inside each terminal tting.
NOTICE: For cold climates, the
screen may be removed.
Connect the terminal to the vent pipe,
which extends out of the building.
• Ensure that the back of the supplied termi-
nal is ush with the outside wall surface.
Complete the installation of the remainder of the
vent system and attach it to the vent connector
tting on the water heater’s blower assembly.
• Horizontal lengths of the vent sys-
tem must slope downward a minimum
of 1/8 in. per foot (10 mm per m);
IMPORTANT: When the vent system can-
not be sloped away from the water heater or,
if the vent system has vertical section(s), then
all horizontal sections must slope upwards a
minimum of 1/8 in. per foot (10 mm per m);
DO NOT use unequal diameters of
pipe and ttings for the vent sys-
tem except as dened previously.
Support vertical and horizontal lengths of
the vent system as previously mentioned.
