Vent length in table is equivalent length. Each elbow is equivalent to 5ft of straight pipe and should be included when measuring
total length.
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 5A through Table 5C or Table 6.
NOTE
