Do not
point terminals into window wells, stairwells, al-
coves or other recessed areas. It is preferable for the air
intake to terminate on opposite or adjacent sides of the
structure from the dryer vent. If this is not practical, main-
tain a 3 foot clearance (residential laundry) or a 10 foot
clearance (commercial laundry).
VERTICAL VENT/INTAKE TERMINATIONS
If the vent and air intake pipes are to be run vertically
through the roof, they must extend at least 12 inches above
the roof line and shall be no closer than 12 inches to any
vertical wall. The vent pipe must extend at least 12 inches
above the air intake (See Figure 8). In areas where heavy
snow accumulation is expected, these distances will need
to be increased. The vent and air intake pipes must be
made tight where they pass through the roof with a proper
flashing such as used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Maintain at least a three foot clearance from the air intake
pipe to plumbing vent stacks.

Vertical Vent Termination
The vent and air intake pipe may be run through an existing
unused chimney. However, the pipes must be run all the
way through the chimney, with the air intake pipe terminat-
ing at least 12 inches above the top of the chimney.
See Figure 9 for explanation. The flue pipe must terminate
at least 12 inches above the air intake. The air intake and
exhaust may run side by side or as far apart as necessary
within the chimney.
The open space around the two pipes must be closed with
a weather tight, corrosion resistant flashing. NEVER VENT
WITH AN EXISTING APPLIANCE OR A VENT USED BY
A SOLID FUEL APPLIANCE.

VENT/INTAKE TERMINATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
OF MULTIPLE DIRECT VENT FURNACES
If more than one direct vent furnace is to be installed
vertically through a common roof top, maintain the same
minimum clearances between the exhaust vent and air
intake terminations of adjacent units as with the exhaust
vent and air intake terminations of a single unit (Figure 8).
If more than one direct vent furnace is to be installed
horizontally through a common side wall, maintain the
clearances as shown in Figure 10. Always terminate all
exhaust vent outlets at the same elevation and always
terminate all air intakes at the same elevation.

PIPES SIZING
Consult Tables 1 to 3 to select the proper diameter exhaust
and combustion air piping. The vent and air intake piping
is sized for each unit model number based on inside piping
length and number of inside 90° elbows required. Two 45°
elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. For all piping, the
elbow(s) used for vent & air pipe termination outside the
