This vent kit is designed to bring all air for combustion from the outside and

vent all the combustion products to the outside when properly installed. This

vent kit should only be used with direct vent water heaters that were

designed to use this vent kit. Refer to the label on the water heater to

determine if this kit is the correct kit for the water heater that you are

installing. Consult the supplier of the water heater if you are not certain that

this is the correct vent kit. Refer to the information in these instructions and

the instructions provided with the water heater when determining the location

of the vent terminal and water heater.

The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as

cited in local codes or the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1 as follows:

1. Do not terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where

condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause

property damage.

2. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or vapor

could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of

regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

3. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or

walkways where condensate or vapor can cause nuisance or hazard.

4. The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12 inches above expected

snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent termination.

Vent pipes serving direct vent appliances are classified by building codes as

“vent connectors”. Required clearances from combustible materials must be

provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF

WATER HEATER and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code

and local code.

WARNING

The vent-air intake system must be properly installed. Failure to

properly install the vent-air intake system could result in property

damage, personal injury or death.

DO NOT install any damaged vent-air intake system components.
