Roof Terminations
A roof termination of any type will require a 4-in. (102 mm)
flashing for a 2

diameter (127 mm) flashing for a 3-in. (80 mm ND) concentric
vent kit. For two-pipe or single pipe vent systems, a flashing for
each pipe of the required diameter will be necessary.
It is recommended that the flashing be installed by a roofer or
competent professional prior to installing the concentric vent.
The terminations can be installed on a flat or pitched roof.
Concentric Vent
Single or multiple concentric vent must be installed as shown in
Figure 47
. Maintain the required separation distance between
vents or pairs of vents as shown in
Figure 47
and all
clearance shown in
Figure 59
.

NOTICE
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINA-
TIONS
It is recommended that rooftop vent terminations in
excess of 36 inches (1.0 M) in vertical length be
supported by EITHER the Direct Vent Termination Kit
shown in
Table 12
or by field-supplied brackets or
supports fastened to the structure.
Cut the required number of holes in the roof or sidewall for vent
and (when used) combustion air pipes. Sidewall holes for
two-pipe vent terminations should be side-by-side, allowing
space between the pipes for the elbows to fit on the pipes.
Holes in the roof for direct
−
vent (two
−
pipe) two pipe
terminations should be spaced no more than 18
−
in. (457 mm)
apart to help avoid vent gas recirculation into combustion air
intake.
Termination elbows will be installed after the vent and (if used)
combustion air pipe is installed.

NOTE
: Follow the instructions of the vent terminal
manufacturer. These instructions are provided as a reference,

Determine an appropriate location for termination kit using the
guidelines provided in section “Locating The Vent Termination”
in this instruction.

NOTE
: Do not allow insulation or other materials to accumulate
inside of pipe assembly when installing it through hole.
4. Locate assembly through sidewall with rain shield
positioned no more than 1
