CONDITION 2:
Where fl oor joists impede venting, a rise or drop to complete the
vent termination is possible. All installations require 1 in. (25mm)
clearance to combustibles.
Note:
A. The maximum horizontal vent length of 80 in. (2.03m) minus
wall thickness should be considered when installing an offset
vent arrangement.
B. Do not combine condition 1 (Figure 26) with condition 2
(Figure 27) in the same installation.
C. The maximum allowable drop from vent center-line to vent
termination center-line (Figure 27) is 7.25 in. (184mm).
