1Refer to 99% Minimum Design Temperature table provided in the current edition of the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook.
2 Poly-Propylene vent pipe (PP) by Duravent and Centrotherm.
3 Vent length in table is equivalent length. Consider each elbow as 5ft. of linear 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 7 or TABLE 9 which ever is less.
NOTE - If insulation is required in an unconditioned space, it must be located on the pipe closest to the furnace. See FIGURE 34.
