4. This appliance uses 2” or 3” diameter pipe for exhaust vent and intake pipe. It is important to ensure an airtight seal from the
appliance collar to the vent terminations. See Table 9 for a list of Approved Vent Materials.
5. Do not install venting system components on the exterior of the building except as specifically required by these instructions.
 Vent terminals must be at least 1 foot from any door, window, or gravity inlet into the building.
 Maintain the correct clearance and orientation between the exhaust vent and intake pipe terminals.
 The exhaust vent and air intake terminals must be at the same height and their center lines must be spaced apart 1 foot
minimum.
 The bottom of the exhaust vent and intake pipe terminals must be at least 1 foot above the normal snow accumulation level. In
no case should these terminals be installed less than 1 foot above normal snow accumulation level.
 Do not install the exhaust vent terminals directly above windows or doors.
 Intake pipe terminal must not terminate in areas that might contain combustion air contaminates, such as near swimming
pools.
 For sidewall venting, the minimum horizontal distance between adjacent exhaust vent terminations is 1 foot. It is
recommended this distance be greater than 1 foot to better avoid frost damage to building surfaces.
 For roof venting, minimum horizontal distance between any adjacent exhaust vent termination is 1 foot.
