Table 6. Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units

Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30

cm) above grade, but the installer may determine

it should be higher, depending upon local

conditions.

4. If the Pennant is side-wall vented to the same

wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3 feet

(0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air

terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1

foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal

(see Figure 3).

2.3.3 Vertical Vent Terminal

When the unit is vented through the roof, the

vent must extend at least 3 feet (0.9m) above the point

at which it penetrates the roof. It must extend at least

2 feet (0.6m) higher than any portion of a building

within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3.0m), and high

enough above the roof line to prevent blockage from

snow. When the combustion air is taken from the roof,

the combustion air must terminate at least 12" (30cm)

below the vent terminal (see Figure 2).

2.3.4 Vertical Combustion Air Terminal

When combustion air is taken from the roof, a

field-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must

be used to prevent entry of rain water (see Figure 2).

The opening on the end of the terminal must be at least

12" (30cm) above the point at which it penetrates the

roof, and high enough above the roof line to prevent

blockage from snow. When the vent terminates on the

roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12"

(30cm) below the vent terminal.

2.4 Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units

For outdoor applications, the vent and

combustion air openings must be covered with proper

terminals to prevent rain, snow and other objects from

falling into the Pennant.

Part numbers for the terminals to cover the vent

and combustion air openings are shown in Table

6. Vent opening must be on top of the unit, and the

combustion air opening must be on the back of the

unit. The terminals are connected directly to the unit.

No vent piping is used.

Alternately, the installer may use a short piece

of galvanized single wall or B-vent and an approved

rain cap for the vent termination. A minimum 12" of

vent height is acceptable. In addition, a properly sized

single wall galvanized 90° ell can be used for the

intake air terminal, with the open end of the ell facing

down to prevent rain infiltration. The combustion air

inlet opening must still be high enough to prevent

blockage by snow (see Section 2.3.2).
