Poly-Propylene vent pipe (PP)
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 14 or 15 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 figure35.
