Venting
General
Appliance Categories
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of
condensate production in the vent.
Category I – A heater which operates with a non-pos-
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas
temperature that avoids excessive condensate pro-
duction in the vent.
Category II – A heater which operates with a non-pos-
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas
temperature that may cause excessive condensate
production in the vent.
Category III – A heater which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
may cause excessive condensate production in the
vent.
See Table K for appliance category requirements.
Support of Vent Stack
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest
on the heater vent connection. Support must be pro-
vided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent
should also be installed to maintain proper clearances
from combustible materials.
Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent pass-
es through combustible roofs and walls.
Vent Terminal Location
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause im-
proper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.

DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD
CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is
critical for the safe and efficient operation of the
heater.
NOTE: For additional information on appliance
categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard
and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or
applicable provisions of local building codes.
WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent
material if there is any question about the appliance
categorization and suitability of a vent material for
application on a Category III or IV vent system.
Using improper venting materials can result in
personal injury, death or property damage.
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap
and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of
snow or ice.
NOTE: A grounding electrode conductor shall be
used to connect the equipment grounding
conductors, the equipment enclosures, and the
grounded service conductor to the grounding
electrode.
CAUTION: When condensate traps are installed,
condensate must be routed to an appropriate con-
tainer for neutralization before disposal, as required
by local codes.
Make sure electrical power to the heater is discon-
nected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to
components.
