penetrations. Do not fill the space around the vent
(that is, the clear air space in the thimble or
firestop) with insulation. The roof opening must be
located so that the vent is vertical.
6. Do not run the heater vent into a common vent
with any other appliance.

(Page 14). Install the vent pipe in accordance with local
codes and the provisions of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.), or the standards CSA B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Codes (Canada), and the
vent manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use a draft hood
with this heater. Use one of the special gas vents speci-
fied in Table 5 (Page 14) for positive-pressure venting of
this heater – do not use any other vent with it. Install the
vent according to the vent manufacturer’s detailed
instructions.
Maintain clearance between the vent pipe and com-
bustible surfaces according to the vent manufacturer’s
instructions and code requirements. Do not place any
insulating materials around the vent or inside the
