NOTES:

(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid

obstructions, it is important to support the vent

pipe every 3 feet (914 mm), to avoid excessive

stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall

straps are available for this purpose (see Figure

36).

(2) When ever possible, use 45° degree elbows instead

of 90° degree elbows. The 45° degree elbow offers

less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake

air.

(3) For multi story installations; a ceiling firestop is

required at the second floor, and any subsequent

floors (see Figure 29). The opening should be

framed to 10” (254 mm) x 10” (254 mm) inside

dimensions, in the same manner as shown in

Figure 29.

(4) Any occupied areas above the first floor,

including closets and storage spaces,

which the vertical vent passes through,

must be enclosed. The enclosure may be

framed and sheet-rocked with standard

building materials. However consult

the appliance manufactures installation

instructions for the minimum allowable

clearance between the outside of the vent

pipe, and the combustible surfaces of

the enclosure. Do not fill any required air

spaces with insulation.
