F. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE
Vents must be properly supported. The appliance exhaust and intake connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support
brackets must be within 1’ of the appliance and the balance at 4’ intervals. Venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection for
the first 3’ from the appliance.
NOTE:
To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 9 in this section when considering exhaust vent and intake pipe
termination.
The appliance is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to form condensate in the vent), and requires a special vent
system designed for pressurized venting.
Exhaust vent and intake pipe may be vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall. Venting methods are detailed in the Venting
Section. Do not attempt installation using any other means. Be sure to locate the appliance so exhaust vent and intake piping can be
routed through the building and properly terminated. Exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing, and termination method must
comply with methods and limits given in the venting section.
G. PREVENT COMBUSTION AIR CONTAMINATION
Install intake piping for the appliance as described in the Venting section. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that can allow
contamination of intake air.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below. For example, do not pipe intake near a swimming pool. Avoid
areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants. Contaminated air will damage the
appliance, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
(Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions).
H. REMOVING A APPLIANCE FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Do not install the appliance into a common vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance malfunction,
resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
When removing an existing appliance, the following steps must be followed.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other
deficiencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
