completed.
Consult your local Building Codes before beginning

the Installation.

Vent System Approvals
Table 1 and Figure 3 through 5 shows the vent

termination caps and systems approved for the use

with these models. Approved vent system

terminations are labeled for identification. 3-inch

diameter listed flexible aluminum or stainless steel

gas vent is used for both the incoming combustion air

and exhaust vent pipes. NO OTHER VENTING

SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.

Detailed installation instructions are included with

each vent termination kit and should be used in

conjunction with this manual.
Horizontal Venting
The vent system on this model CANNOT be

terminated horizontally.
Vertical Venting
The vent pipes MUST be connected to the proper

collars on the unit AND the exhaust vent pipe MUST

be connected to the termination cap or the unit will not

operate. The combustion air vent pipe CAN be

connected to the termination cap or it can terminate

inside the chimney. The bottom opening of the

chimney must be sealed around the vent pipes if the

combustion air vent is NOT connected to the

termination cap. See Figures 3, 4 and 5.
NOTE: The minimum vertical rise (exhaust vent) is

14 feet and the maximum vertical rise is 50 feet.

These dimensions are measured from the starting
