The total length of the thru-wall exhaust vent system cannot exceed sixty-five (65) feet in length for the flue outlet. Each
elbow used is equal to ten (10) feet of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the four following combinations.
· 65’ of straight flue pipe.
· 55' of straight flue pipe and one elbow.
· 45' of straight flue pipe and two elbows.
· 35' of straight pipe and three elbows.
The direct vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system.
The vent must be installed to prevent the flue gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly to insure that all joints are
sealed properly and are airtight.
The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight downward slope of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent
terminal.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
For appliances installed in extreme cold climate, it is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal.
In this case, an approved condensate trap must be installed per applicable codes.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
