Installation
B1. This section applies to vertically vented 2-pipe (one
combustion air inlet pipe and one vent pipe) vent systems
and is in addition to "Section A – General Instructions – All
Units".
B2. Vertical vent systems terminate vertically (up).
B3. It is recommended to install a tee with drip leg and clean out
cap as shown in Figure 8.1.
B4. The combustion air and vent pipes must be terminated with
2 listed vent caps.
B5. Vertical vents must terminate a minimum horizontal and
vertical distance from roof lines and adjacent walls or
obstructions. These minimum distances are outlined in
Figure 8.1 and Table 8.1.
B6. The vent must terminate at least 1' above and 6" horizontally
from the combustion air inlet.
