For Horizontal Vent Termination - PVC/CPVC Material Only
• Use a condensation drain if necessary.
• In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a carbon monoxide detector is required for all side wall horizontally
vented gas fuel equipment. Refer to Technical Bulletin TB 010606 for full installation instructions.

Increaser couplings required
when using plastic horizontal
hood terminations (part #PVT-HL).
Increaser couplings must be
installed just above the heaters

Slope the horizontal exhaust vent
1/4 in. upwards for every 12 in.
(305 mm) toward the termination.

If 3 ft (0.9 m) distance between Intake and Exhaust cannot be
ensured, the installation can be carried out only in the installation
method shown in “Alternate Horizontal Vent Te rmination”.
The PVC/CPVC elbow may be used in place of
PVT-HL as the horizontal vent termination.
PVT-HL
3 in. (75 mm)
* When choosing intake and exhaust terminations, you
must use the same type of elbow (i.e. both 90° elbows).
This will help with proper combustion by putting both
terminations in the same pressure zone.
