For Horizontal Vent Termination - PVC/CPVC Material Only
• Use a condensation drain if necessary.
• In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a carbon monoxide detector is required for all side wall horizontally
vented gas fuel equipment. Refer to the page 4 for more detail information.
Possible Orientations
≥ 3ft Min.
3 in. (75 mm) pipe and 2 in. × 3 in.
Increaser couplings required
when using plastic horizontal
hood terminations.
Increaser couplings must be
installed just above the heaters
vent flue connections.
Slope the horizontal exhaust vent
1/4 in. upwards for every 12 in.
(305 mm) toward the termination.

If 3 ft (0.9 m) distance between Intake and Exhaust cannot be
ensured, the installation can be carried out only in the installation
method shown in “Alternate Horizontal Vent Termination”.
The PVC/CPVC elbow may be used in place of Hood
Termination as the horizontal vent termination.
Hood Termination
3 in. (75 mm)
* When choosing intake and exhaust terminations, you
must use the same type of elbow (i.e. both 90° elbows).
This will help with proper combustion by putting both
terminations in the same pressure zone.
