MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH -- FT. (M) (CONTINUED)
Table 3 – Maximum Equivalent Vent Length -- Ft. (M)
4501 to 10,000 Ft. (0 to 1370 M) Altitude
NOTE: Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) includes standard and concentric vent termination and does NOT include elbows.

NOTES:
1. Use only the vent pipe sizes shown for each furnace. It is NOT necessary to choose the smallest diameter pipe possible for venting.
2. NA --- Not allowed. Pressure switch will not close, or flame disturbance may result.
3. Total equivalen t vent l engths un der 10’ for 40,000 BT UH furnaces from 0 to 2000 ft. (0 to 610 M) above sea level require use of an outlet choke plate .
Failure t o use an outlet c hoke w hen required may result in flame disturbance or flame sense lockout.
4. Not all furnace families include 140,000 BTUH input models.
5. Vent sizing for Canadian installations over 4500 ft ( 1370 M) above sea level are subject to acceptance by local au thorities having jurisdiction.
6. Size both the combustion air a nd vent p ipe independently, then use the larger s i ze for both pipes.
7. Assume the two 45_ elbows equal one 90_ elbow . Wide radius elbows are desirable and m ay be required in some cases.
8. Elbow and pipe sections within the furnace casing and at the vent termination should not be included in vent length or elbow count.
9. The minimum p ipe length is 5 ft. (1.5 M) linear feet (meters) for all applications.
10. Use 3---in. (76 mm) d iameter vent termination kit for installations requiring 4---in. (102 mm) diameter pipe.
