Resumen del manual
Horizontally venting to a sidewall vent terminator or a vertically constructed vent stack along an outside wall of a building is not permissible. A Powervent (Model AQ-1), with a proof-of-draft safety interlock device, is required and is available in order to sidewall vent. Contact your dealer. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: Powervented applications must utilize proof-of-draft safety interlock device. VERTICAL GAS VENT: A 5 inch diameter gas vent constructed of double wall Type B gas vent is recommended. 6 inch is required in elevations greater than 2000 feet, see Fig. 4. Any gas vent section that is greater than 45 degrees from the vertical is considered horizontal. Horizontal sections must slope upwards at least . inch for every foot of its horizontal length and be properly supported. Keep the horizontal section short and avoid too many elbows. The minimum vertical gas vent height allowed is 6 feet; horizontal vent connectors and elbows are not to be considered in the total gas vent height. All gas vent sections must be secured to each other with sheet metal screws and be properly supported. The gas vent constructed of double wall Type B gas vent must terminate above the roof surface with a listed vent cap at a height that’s in accordance with Figure A or B and their table, provided they are at least 8 feet (2.4 m) from a vertical wall or similar obstruction. All other gas vents that are not able to terminate within the minimum specified height allowed must terminate not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) above the highest point where it’s passed through the roof and at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any vertical wall or similar obstruction within 10 feet (3.1 m).

A minimum 5” diameter gas vent pipe (metal double wall Type B), or an approved clay flue liner or a listed chimney lining system must be used when venting into a naturally drafting, internal masonry chimney. 6 inch is required in elevations greater than 2000 feet, see Fig. 4. Local codes may require the use of both gas vent and an approved lining system when venting into a masonry chimney. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the use of a listed liner. Lining systems include approved clay flue lining, a listed chimney lining system or other approved material that will resist corrosion, erosion, softening, or cracking from exhaust flue gases at temperatures up to 1800 degrees F. The lining system must be listed for use with naturally drafting, draft hood equipped gas appliances. Follow local codes and refer to NFGC 54 and NFPA 58. When connecting the water heater to a masonry chimney the following connector guidelines must be followed for safe and proper operation: An approved gas vent connector must be attached to the top of the water heater and rise vertically at least 12” before entering into an approved gas vent connector elbow. Any gas vent section that is greater than 45 degrees from the vertical is considered horizontal. If a horizontal vent connector is to be used to connect the vertical gas vent connector on the top of the water heater to the masonry chimney, that approved horizontal gas vent connector must be kept as short as possible and must be sloped upwards at least .” per foot of its length. This connector must be supported throughout its horizontal length. This horizontal gas vent connection may be no greater than 75% of the total vertical gas flue vent within the chimney. Also, an approved thimble or collar must be used when penetrating a masonry chimney. A) Existing INTERIOR Masonry Chimney The metal gas vent pipe should be permanently mounted inside the masonry chimney. Double wall Type B gas vent is recommended. The masonry chimney may have to be tile or metal lined before the insertion of the gas vent pipe; check local codes for clarification. The lining material must be listed for use only with naturally drafting, draft hood equipped gas appliances. Follow manufactures instructions for installation of listed lining material. You may not vent any other fuel burning appliances into any free space remaining in the chimney. The minimum vertical gas vent length within the masonry chimney should be no less than 5 ft (1.5 m); the vent terminator should exten...
