B. Clearances to Combustibles

When selecting a location for the appliance it is important

to consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure

3.5).

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate

clearance around air openings and for service access.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be lo-

cated out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.

NOTICE: Illustrations reect typical installations and are

C. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the

gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates

the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.

NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling restops and wall shield

restops and construction of the chase may vary with the

type of building. These instructions are not substitutes

for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,

you MUST check local building codes to determine the

requirements to these steps.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-

side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-

lems. The chase should not break the outside building

envelope in any manner.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor of the chase

should be insulated. Vapor and air inltration barriers

should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for

the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold

air inltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be

sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be

used) to achieve maximum air tightness.

NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces

extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly

on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other

than wood.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space

clearances to appliance and vent pipe:

• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent

accidental contact.

• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown

insulation or other combustibles from entering and

making contact with replace or chimney.

• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and

a re.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling re-

stops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of

300ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas

line holes and other openings should be caulked with

caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating

or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being

installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be

placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the

room.

D. Use of Elbows

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent as-

pects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the

vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See

Figure 4.4.

Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.

On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216

mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A

length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows.

See Figure 4.4.

E. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent

diagrams were made using the following standards:

• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length

of pipe. See Section 12.A (Figure 12.1 for DVP, Figure

12.8 for SLP) for information on effective length of pipe

components.

• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside

mounting surface (ange of termination cap) (see Figure

4.6).

• Vertical terminations are measured to top of last section

of pipe. See Figure 4.7.

• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

General Rules:

• Additional elbows: SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H

measurement for each 90º elbow installed horizontally.

• Additional elbows: SUBTRACT 1-1/2 ft. from the total H

measurement for each 45º elbow installed horizontally.

• A maximum of three 90º elbows (or six 45º elbows) may

be used in any vent conguration. Some elbows may be

installed horizontally.

• Elbows may be placed back to back anywhere in the

system.

• Any 90º elbow may be replaced with two back to back

45º elbows.

• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield

restop must be installed.

• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling restop

must be installed.

• Horizontal runs of vent do not require vertical rise;

horizontal runs may be level.

• When the horizontal termination cap is exposed to high

precipitation, the cap should have a 1/4 inch downward

slant to allow any moisture in cap to be released. See

Figure 4.8.
