TABLE 1. POWER VENTING – RIGID VENT PIPING: PVC, CPVC, ABS, PP – MAX VENT LENGTHS
Models GHE80SU-200(A) & GHE80SU-300(A) are limited to an altitude of 8000 ft, while all other models are limited to
8999 ft.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VENT LENGTHS
Important information for all installations:
1) The minimum required venting is what is required to safely extend the
inlet and outlet vent pipes outside of the building.
2) Each 90° elbow (standard or long sweep elbow) reduces the
equivalent vent length by 5 feet (1.5m).
3) Each 45° elbow reduces the equivalent vent length by 2 1/2 feet
(0.8m).
4) DO NOT mix pipe sizes for venting these models, use only one size of
pipe for all venting.
5) All vent terminations (horizontal or vertical) should be a minimum
of 24 inches (61cm) and a maximum of 36 inches (91 cm) apart, as
measured from center to center of terminals.
6) The maximum equivalent vent lengths, for inlet and outlet, must
be within 20 equivalent feet (6.1m) of each other. Supplied vent
terminal(s) are not included in the maximum equivalent vent length.
Exceeding the maximum equivalent vent lengths may cause the water heater to malfunction or
cause a lock-out condition.
