SIDE
WALL
: (Vertical vent through roof is on page 23)
Refer to General Venting Requirements on page 19
Minimum length of a horizontal side-wall vent:
Regardless if a 90° elbow is installed, a Minimum linear 36 inch (3 ft; 91 cm) single
wall ‘C’ vent plus minimum 12 inch (30.5 cm) double wall ‘B’ vent through wall
Total minimum linear vent length of 48 inches (4 ft; 122 cm)
Maximum length of a horizontal side-wall vent:
Total Maximum vent length is 15 ft (4.6 m)
Each 90° or 45° elbow is equivalent to 5 ft
A minimum 12 inch (30.5 cm) double wall ‘B’ vent must be used through the wall
The flue vent system must slope downwards approximately 1/4" per foot (63 mm / 300 mm)
toward the vent terminal, from the termination of the tube - radiant tube must be level.
A maximum of two elbows (90° or 45°; each = equivalent 5 ft) can be installed in a horizon-
tal vent
For side wall venting use either Schwank/InfraSave 4”
(10 cm) horizontal vent terminal (Part
Number: JA-0528-XX - available as an option) or an approved 4”
(10 cm) “High Wind” vent
termination cap (see clearance information previous page and next page)
Install the termination cap a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) from the outside wall to the inside
edge of terminal opening to minimize back pressure caused by turbulent wind conditions
(See Fig. 9 above). This also ensures flue gases are directed away from the structure to
help protect building materials from degradation by the exhausted flue gases.
The vent must be installed to prevent blockage by snow, undue wind pressure on the termi-
nation, and to protect building materials from degradation by flue gases.
