Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles between
restops.
• ALWAYS maintain specied clearances around venting
and restop systems.
• Install restops as specied.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent
pipe may cause re.

Example
Example 1: If the equivalent length of pipe is feet (.58m) with alti-
tude of 8,000 feet (0m) you must use inch (10mm) diameter type
“L” or “PL” vent.
Example 2: If the equivalent length of pipe is 1 feet (.0m) with altitude
of 6,000 feet (15m) you may use or inch (76 to 10mm) diameter
type “L” or “PL” vent.
The chart will help you in determining proper venting size
according to the equivalent feet of pipe calculated previously
and the altitude above sea level of this installation.
Figure 13.1.
a. Locate the calculated
equivalent feet of pipe on the verti-
cal left side of the chart.
b. Move to the right horizontally on the chart until you reach
your altitude above sea level.
c. If you fall below the diagonal line, or inch (76 to
10mm) pipe may be used.
d. If it is anywhere above the diagonal line, a inch (10mm)
diameter pipe is required.
NOTICE:
• A 90° elbow is 5 times as restrictive to the ow of exhaust
gases under positive pressure as 1 foot (05mm) of hori-
zontal pipe.
• A foot of horizontal pipe is twice as restrictive as a foot of
vertical pipe.
