G 1-22-04 P/N 471048 P/N 471048 Rev. G 1-22-04 30 A-4 VENTING The vent pipe must be the same size or larger than what is indicated in Table 1. The PowerMax heaters are capable of a 360-degree discharge rotation and operate with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature less than 400 F. The total length of the horizontal run must not exceed an equivalent of 45 feet. For all cases, each 90-degree elbow reduces the maximum horizontal vent run by 8 feet and each 45-degree elbow in the vent run reduces the maximum vent run by 4 feet. See Table 2 for the maximum vent lengths using a 90 degree and 45 degree elbows. The PowerMax induced-draft pool and spa heater uses positive pressure to push flue gases through the vent pipe to the outside. This requires a completely sealed vent system--single wall vent pipe with sealed-seams and joints may be used. Flue gases under positive pressure may escape into the dwelling with any cracks or loose joints in the vent pipe, or improper vent installation. The vent pipe must be of a sealed-seam construction such as those listed for use with category III appliances. Alternately, single wall or double-wall type B duct which has had duct seams and joints permanently sealed using cements or other suitable means which are rated for use at the flue...
