DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING
COMPONENTS. Refer to the venting manufacturer’s

D. How to Use the Vent Graph
1. Measure the distance from the top of appliance to the
center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a
horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical
axisacrossuntilitintersectswiththeslanted line.
2. Fromthepointofthisintersection,drawaverticallineto
thebottomofthegraph.
3. Thepointatwhichthislinemeetsthebottomlineofthe
graphisthemaximumlengthofthehorizontalrun.
Example 1: If the vertical dimension from the top of the
appliancetothecenterofthe90°elbowis7ft.(2m),the
horizontalruntotheouterwallangemustnotexceed13
ft.(4m).
Example 2: If the vertical dimension from the top of the
applianceis 21ft. (6.4m), thehorizontal runto theouter
wallangemustnotexceed9ft.(3m).
4. Each90°elbowisequivalentto3ft.(914mm)ofvent
pipeandeach45°elbowisequivalentto1ft.(305mm)
of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from vent pipe
run.Asingleverticaltohorizontal90°elbowisalready
calculated into the allowable 15 ft. (5 m) run. Each
additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal
distanceby3ft.(914mm).
Example: The use of three elbows would reduce the
allowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 - 1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft. =
6 ft.; 15 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 9 ft. max.)
E. Venting Guidelines
•Themaximumhorizontalventrunis15ft.(5 m)whenthe
verticalventriseis10ft.(3 m).
•Theminimumhorizontalventrunis11-5/8in.(295 mm).
•Horizontalsectionsrequirea1/4in.(6 mm)riseforevery
12in.(305 mm)ofhorizontaltravel.
• Horizontalsectionsrequirenoncombustiblesupportevery

•Wallthickness: Minimum4in.(102 mm). Maximum20in.
(508 mm).
•Vent Diameter: Exterior 6-5/8 in. (168 mm); Inner 4 in.

when using the HRC termination cap.
•Themaximumhorizontalventrunwitha45°elbowis18

• No external minimum rise is required. The minimum

•Foranyverticalrisewhenrearventing,aminimumof2

1. Determinethedesiredlocationoftheappliance.Check
to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the
way when the venting system is being planned. If this
isthecase,youmaywanttoadjustthelocationofthe
appliance.
2. Directventpipeisdesignedwith alockingconnection.
To connect the venting system to the appliance flue
outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance
at the factory. Wall thickness may vary. Remember to
include wall thickness in minimum clearances when
figuring ventinglengthsforyourinstallationneeds.
3. Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are designed
toslidestraightontothemaleendsofadjacentpipes
by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and
slide into the entryslotsonthemaleends,see Figure
5.4. Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to
allow engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock
intoplace.Usethisprocedureforallventcomponents.
See Figure 10.5. Continue adding vent components,
lockingeachsucceedingcomponentintoplace.Ensure
thateachsucceedingventcomponentissecurelytted
andlockedintotheprecedingcomponent.
Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock

purpose,Figure 5.12,page16.
• Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows.The45°elbowofferslessrestrictiontotheflow
offluegasesandintakeair.
