See Chart below for maximum length.
FIGURE 39.
The total vertical and horizontal vent run cannot exceed the
maximum length with the number of 90
o
elbows as specified
in the following tables. If more are required the venting
distance must be reduced 5 feet for every 90
o
elbow.

* Two 45
o
elbows are equivalent to one 90
o
elbow.
One 90
o
elbow equals 5 feet of equivalent vent length.
FIGURE 40.
Minimum vent length for all 40,000 BTU/HR input models is
4 feet and 16 inches for all other models.
VENTING THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL WITH LOW GROUND
CLEARANCE
When the venting piping cannot pass through an outside
wall at a height greater than or equal to 12” above the ground
(or above snow accumulation level), then the installation
can be modified as shown below.
FIGURE 41.
Refer to the tables on page 23 for maximum vent lengths for
low ground clearance installations. All installations assume
the use of two additional 90 elbows and the standard 45
o
vent cap with screen outside of the exterior wall.
