5.1.1 minimum clearance to combustible enclosures
single-sided
1" [25mm] minimum all sides for
sections of vertical venting.
When passing through a ceiling,
use firestop spacer W500-0028
(not supplied)
0" to side standoffs
1/2" finishing flange
0" to bottom of the
appliance
Horizontal vent sections: A minimum clearance of 3" (76mm) on the top outside of the enclosure and 2" (51mm) on
the sides and bottom outside of the enclosure all around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required.
Horizontal vent sections within enclosures require a minimum clearance of 6"(152mm) at the top of the vent pipe.
Vertical vent sections: A minimum of 1" (25mm) all around the vent pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required
except for clearances in appliances enclosures. Vertical vent sections within enclosures require a minimum clearance of
1" (25mm) around the vent pipe.
note:
The LVX series requires a minimum enclosure height, as illustrated (dimension L), measured from the bottom of the appli-
ance. For temperature requirements, this area must be left unobstructed. Some venting configurations that require more
vertical rise will require a larger enclosure to provide minimum vertical clearance between vent pipes and combustibles.
