Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Over-The-Top installation (also available with one offset elbow)
Periscope installation
NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate
installations are available for purchase.
Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path
outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as
possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.
