If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you
must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall
straps for this purpose. Refer to Page 26, Figure 37.
Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows.
The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the ow of the ue
gases and intake air.
5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s) extending
through the roof. Secure the base of the ashing to
the roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong
material overlaps the top edge of the ashing. There
must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combus-
tible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the
vent cap meets the minimum requirements below.
You must increase vent height for steep roof
pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or
down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height
may solve this problem.
If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas
above the rst oor, including storage spaces and closets,
you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the
enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure
to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles.
Do not ll any of the required clearance spaces with
insulation.
