ELEVATED SINGLE PIPE ALTERNATE TEE TERMINATION
See Figure 15. The tee termination may be elevated up to 24 inches above the
wall penetration if required for anticipated snow levels. Use 2 medium-radius, 2-in.
PVC elbows and 2-in. PVC pipe, attaching the tee so it is 12 inches from the wall.

GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO
CORRECTLY FOLLOW ALL
VENTING GUIDELINES MAY
RESULT IN ERRATIC FURNACE
OPERATION, FREEZE-UP OF
COMBUSTION AIR OR EXHAUST
AIR PIPING OR SOOTING OF THE
FURNACE.
All exhaust piping must be installed in
compliance with Part 7, “Venting of
Equipment,” of the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code NPFA54/
ANSI Z223.1-, CAN/CGA-B149, local
codes or ordinances and these
instructions.
1. Vertical piping is preferred.
2. All horizontal piping must slope
upward a minimum of
1
/
4
inch
per foot of run so that
condensate drains toward the
furnace.
3. All horizontal runs must be
supported at least every 4 feet.
No sags or dips are permitted.
4.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
COMMON VENT WITH ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT
INSTALL IN THE SAME CHASE
OR CHIMNEY WITH A METAL
OR HIGH TEMPERATURE
PLASTIC PIPE FROM
ANOTHER GAS OR FUEL-
BURNING APPLIANCE
UNLESS THE REQUIRED
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES ARE
MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE
PVC PIPE AND OTHER PIPES.
5. All vent runs through uncon-
ditioned spaces where below-
freezing temperatures are
expected should be insulated
with 1-in. thick, medium-density,
foil-faced fiberglass. An
equivalent “arm-a-flex” or
