These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. When terminating horizontally, the

length is 40 feet (12.2m). The maximum number of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding
the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using fl exible venting.

Horizontal runs may have a 0” (0mm) rise per foot/meter however for optimum performance it is recommended that
all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot or 21mm per meter using fl exible venting. For safe and proper
operation of the appliance, follow the venting instructions exactly.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single fam­ily dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼”
(31.8mm) air gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for safe operation.
