Vent Pipe Termination

This water heater includes one (1) pair of more restrictive
Vent Termination Screens and one (1) pair of less
restrictive Vent Termination Screens. For safety and
optimum effi ciency performance, ensure the correct Vent
Termination Screen is installed for the vent length in your
installation.
Note: Before installing the Power Direct Vent Water
Heater, it is recommended that the location of the pipe
terminations (air intake and exhaust vent) be determined.
Use the Vent Termination Screen as shown in Figure 27
& Figure 28. Install the Vent Termination Screen in the
Termination Elbow on both the air intake pipe and the
exhaust pipe.

Notes:
1. Vent lengths shown do not include vent termination
elbow.
2. A horizontal vent must have a 45° vent termination
elbow to direct the vent pipe downward.
3. A vertical vent must have a 90° elbow to direct the
vent pipe horizontally followed by a vent termination
45° elbow to direct the vent pipe downward.
4. If additional elbows are used in the vent system
the allowable vent lengths are reduced (see chart
below).
5. Two 45° elbows are considered the equivalent of
one 90° elbow.
6. The equivalent length of the sound suppressor is
similar to that of a short sweep 90° elbow.
