Venting for Power Vented Unit Heaters

The venting system for these appliances shall terminate at least four feet (1.2m) below,
four feet (1.2m) horizontal from, or one foot (0.3m) above any door, window, or gravity
air inlet into any building.

Through the wall vents for these appliances shall NOT terminate over public walkways,
or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could
be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

The vent pipe equivalent length must be 5 ft. (1.5m) minimum and must not exceed 50
ft. (15.2m). Equivalent length is the total length of straight sections PLUS 15 ft. (4.6m)
for each 90 degree elbow, 8 ft. (2.4m) for each 45 degree elbow, and 10 ft. (3.0m) for the
vent cap.

Maintain 6 in. (152mm) between vent pipe and combustible materials. A minimum of 12
in. (305mm) of straight pipe is required from the venter outlet before installing an elbow
in the vent system. An elbow should never be attached directly to the venter!
