Vent Configuration Requirements
A minimum of 5 feet vertical pipe is required to vent the ap-
pliance. Lengthy horizontal pipe runs require sufficient length
of vertical pipe to deliver adequate draft. Use the table above
as a guide in planning your installation. The use of multiple
45° or 90° elbows should be compensated by providing addi-
tional vertical pipe run.
The B-Vent unit has a 4” B-Vent flue collar and may be in-
stalled with listed B-Vent piping and components. Refer to
the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions for specific
requirements for their product. Maintain proper clearances to
combustible materials as specified by the pipe manufacturer.
Whenever vent pipe is run horizontally, maintain a minimum
1/4” rise per foot. Exterior B-Vent exhaust systems should be
enclosed in a chase to avoid rapid cooling of exhaust gases in
the vent. Such cooling could produce condensation of flue
gases or exhaust gas spillage. The use of a chase is highly
recommended in colder climates.
Notes:
Maximum total offsets allowed: Not to exceed 180 de-
grees.
Also see pipe manufacturers instructions for additional
vent installation requirements.
Horizontal vent clearances
: 3“ minimum top, 1“ mini-
mum on bottom and sidewalls.
Vertical vent clearances
: 1” minimum.
Install vent support brackets every 4 feet of vertical pipe
unless otherwise specified by vent manufacturer.
