There are 4 conguraons for vent terminaons that are
approved for use with the RUC series water heaters:
1. Concentric Terminaon (IPEX Concentric Vent Kit)
-Allows for only one penetraon through a wall or roof.
2. Snorkel Terminaon
-Allows for easier clearance above grade when
having to terminate through a lower point
3. Side Wall Tee Terminaon
4. IPEX Low Prole Terminaon
-Used for ush mount side wall applicaon only.

 Exhaust and combuson air piping must be securely
fastened to structure every 4 feet, to ensure
dimensions shown in the Figures throughout this
document are maintained.
 strap vercal vent too ghtly as the strapping
must permit the vent to move in the event of
expansion and contracon.
 Straps are eld supplied. Use straps, clamps or equiva-
lent that will not score or damage the pipe. Expansion
and contracon should be addressed between appli-
ance and terminaon point.
 All penetraons must be sealed according to local
building codes. Caulking for side wall terminaons and
ashing for roof penetraons are typical. Use only PVC/
CPVC compable sealing material. Contact PVC/CPVC
manufacturer for a list of compable materials.

 For installaons with mulple terminaons, maintain
appropriate clearances between terminals. (Reference
IPEX Concentric Vent Kit Clearance diagram)
 The pipe length of the concentric vent kit can be
shortened; providing that the cung and cemenng
procedures adhere to the System 636 guidelines;
reference IPEX installaon instrucons for further
informaon.

Moisture in the ue gas will condense as it leaves the
vent terminal. In cold weather this condensate can freeze
on the exterior wall, under the eaves, and on surrounding
objects. Some discoloraon to the exterior of the building
is to be expected. However, improper locaon or
installaon can result in damage to the structure or
exterior nish of the building.

Danger of re or bodily injury – Solvent cements and
primers are highly ammable. Provide adequate
venlaon and do not assemble near a heat source or
open ame. Do not smoke. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. Observe all cauons and warnings on material
containers.
