For Horizontal PVC Concentric Termination - PVC/CPVC Material Only
• The concentric termination may be shortened, but not lengthened from its original factory supplied length.
• 2 in. (50 mm) or 3 in. (75 mm) PVC or CPVC pipe may be used with the concentric termination.
Maintain the same vent pipe diameter from the Water Heater flue to the termination.
• 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.
