4. Vent Terminal Location Guidelines 

: Bushes, shrubs, or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of 

flue products must be kept away from vent and air intake terminations. 
Terminations must also be kept clear of any leaves, weeds, combustible 
materials, snow, and ice build-up. Avoid locating the vent terminal over 
areas where dripping of condensate, or small pools of acidic condensate, 
could create a problem.

 

 
In addition to following any local code requirements, when possible, utilize the 
guidelines below in locating the vent terminal to help insure trouble-free operation 
of a sidewall vented furnace: 
 

  Avoid locating the vent terminal on a wall facing prevailing winds and wide-

open areas. When impractical, choose a location that protects the vent from 
strong winds, such as behind a fence or hedge. 

 

  In geographical areas with considerable snowfall, it is advisable to locate the 

vent terminal much higher than the minimum 12-inches above ground to 
prevent blockage by snow accumulation or drifting. 

 

  The vent and combustion air terminations shall be checked periodically, at 

least at the start of each heating season, for restriction or blockage from 
foreign material in the exhaust vent or in the air intake piping. Clean the air 
intake and vent terminations when necessary. 

 
 

I.   Installation Of Outside Exhaust / Intake Terminations 

 

1.  After determining appropriate installation locations (suitable locations must 
observe all clearances specified in this manual), mark and cut two (2), 2-3/8 inch 
diameter holes in the outside wall for the outdoor terminal(s) 

 
 

2.  Measure and cut two (2), 2-inch diameter thermoplastic pipes 1-1/2 inches 
longer than the depth of the wall. (Cutting the pipe longer leaves a ¾ inch 
connection allowance at both ends of the pipe.) Using PVC pipe cement, glue a 
PVC elbow or coupling fitting to one (1) end of each pipe. 

 
 
 

Before inserting the pipe through the wall, mark the other end of the pipe so the 
elbow orientation can be determined. Also, if a protective shield (refer to Section 
H.,

 

passage

 

1. of this manual) will be used on the exterior surface of the wall, it 

should be installed at this time. From the inside, glue a coupling fitting to each 
pipe, using PVC pipe cement, while being careful to maintain the proper 
orientation of the termination elbow(s). Complete the assembly of the outlet and
