exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13 mm)
Armaflex or equivalent. In extremely cold climate areas,
3/4” (19 mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary.
Insulation on outside runs of exhaust pipe must be painted
or wrapped to protect insulation from deterioration. Exhaust
pipe insulation may not be necessary in some specific
applications.
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust
terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and may
block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only:
In accordance to CSA International B149 installation
codes, the minimum allowed distance between the
combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of
other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches (305
mm).

NOTE
- Concentric terminations are the equivalent of 5’ and should be considered when measuring pipe length.
NOTE
- Maximum uninsulated vent lengths listed may include the termination (vent pipe exterior to the structure ) and cannot exceed
5 linear feet or the maximum allowable intake or exhaust vent length listed in Table 5 and Table 6.
NOTE
