manual abstract


NOTE: When determining locations of the openings in the outside wall allow for the 1/8" (3.2 mm) rise per 5' (1.52 m) that has taken place in the horizontal run. FIGURE 19. The 3" PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent pipe can be run from the water heater through the wall or from the wall to the water heater, whichever is most convenient. The vent pipe must extend a minimum of 1-1/2" (38 mm) through the exterior wall. Extending the vent cap as far as possible from the surface of the exterior 9 wall will help minimize discoloration of the wall. Note that the inside flue mounting adaptors must be slipped over the vent piping before locating the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and opening to insure a water and air tight seal. INSTALLATION SHOWING USE OF PVC, ABS OR CPVC PIPE FOR INLET AND OUTLET VENT PIPE. (50 Gal. (189.3 L) Hi BTU input & all 75 Gal. (283.9 L) Models only) is supplied on certain models only. (More may be required and must be supplied locally). 1. The water heater requires its own (separate) venting system. 2. Only 3" ABS Schedule 40 piping and fittings are acceptable materials on the first 5' (1.52 m) of the outlet vent system for some 50 Gal. (189.3 L) and 75 Gal. (283.9 L) models. 3. 3" PVC, ABS, or CPVC Schedule 40 piping and fittings are acceptable materials for the inlet vent system and for the outlet vent system (after the first 5' (1.52 m) for 50 Gal.

The total vertical and horizontal runs cannot exceed the maximum length with a maximum number of 90° elbows as specified in the table below. If more elbows are required, the venting distance must be reduced 5' (1.52 m) for every 90° elbow. 3" DIA. VENTS NUMBER OF 90° DEG. MAX. LENGTH (FT.) ELBOWS* 45 (13.72 m) 1 40 (12.2 m) 2 35 (10.7 m) 3 *NOTE: Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. One 90° elbow equals 5' (1.52 m) of equivalent vent length. FIGURE 20. CONNECTING VENT TO BLOWER 1. If making an immediate horizontal run of vent off the blower, one 3" PVC inlet and one 3" PVC (ABS for 50 Gal.
