Venting and Combustion Air Requirements—Continued
Pipe Size Requirements—Continued
Joint Connection and Sealing Requirements
• Category III pipe: follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for joining and sealing.
• Single-wall pipe (vent pipe or combustion air pipe): secure slip-fit pipe connections using sheet metal screws
or rivets. Seal all joints with aluminum tape or silicone sealant.
• Terminal section of double-wall vent pipe (vertical vent terminal option CC2 only) to vent cap: connect in
accordance with APPENDIX.
• Terminal section of double-wall vent pipe to single-wall vent pipe: connect in accordance with APPENDIX.
• When joining two sections of double-wall vent pipe: follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for joining and
sealing vent pipe sections.
NOTE: Joints connecting double-wall pipe apply only to commercial/industrial installations with
a vertical vent terminal (option CC2).
Vent System Support Requirements
• Support horizontal runs every six feet (1.8 meters).
• Support vertical runs category III vent pipe in accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s requirements.
• Support vertical single-wall pipe in accordance with accepted industry practice.
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
• Do not rely on the heater to support either horizontal or vertical vent pipe.
• Use non-combustible supports on vent pipe.
NOTE: The vertical vent terminal pipe does not attach to the concentric adapter box and must be
supported during installation.
Clearance to Combustibles
⚠ DANGER ⚠
Do not enclose the vent pipe or place it closer than 6 inches (152 mm) to combustible material.
