NOTICE: 3” and 4” vent pipe should not be mixed, other than
to reduce the 4” vent for the 3” PVC Vent Terminal. This unit
is supplied with two (2) 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45º vent
terminals.
The 4” vent pipe can use up to 16 inches of 3” PVC, preceding
the vent terminal. This unit uses the same vent terminals (sup-
plied with the unit) for both 3” and 4” pipe. A 4” to 3” reducer
will be required to go from 4” to 3” pipe.
