Figure 3.9 Clearances to Combustibles-ECHEL36STIN-C, ECHEL48STIN-C
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, or any combustible material other than
wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied 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.
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.
NOTICE: When installing a sprinkler head in a replace
chase, it is recommended to use a sprinkler head with a
sprinkler activation temperature classied as Extra High.
Keep sprinkler head away from vent and chimney.
Chases should be constructed and insulated in the same
manner as the thermal envelope of the home based on
the code requirements for that climate zone to prevent air
leakage and draft problems. The chase is an extension of
the building thermal envelope.
To further prevent drafts and air leakage, the wall shield
and ceiling restops should be sealed with caulk or foil
tape with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure
rating to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings
should be sealed 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.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See
Figure 4.5.
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 inch
(216 mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 inch (216 mm) vertical
run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º
elbows. See Figure 4.5.
Figure 4.6 shows the vertical and horizontal offsets for
DVP elbows.

• SUBTRACT 3 ft from the total H measurement for each
90º elbow installed horizontally.
• 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 conguration. Some elbows may be
installed horizontally. See Figure 4.12 and Figure 4.19.
• 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.
• Horizontal termination cap should have a 1/4 inch
downward slant to allow any moisture in cap to be
released. See Figure 4.7.
Measuring Standards:
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams and clearances for termination were made
using the following standards:
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe. See Section 12.A (Figure 12.1), for information
on effective length of pipe components.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (flange of termination cap). See
Figure 4.8.
• Vertical terminations are measured to top of last section
of pipe. See Figure 4.9.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
• Horizontal and vertical termination clearances measured
to trapezoid portion of cap. See Figure 4.3.
