I notice navien doesn't spec a specific direction if any to pitch the venting on a sidewall/horizontal installation. I know some other manufacturers do.
Is there a definitive answer?
If it doesn't matter, does position of any vertical rise in the horizontal run then matter? What if you need to snorkel after exiting the building envelope to meet distance above snow level?
They seem pretty vague with venting requirements for their condensing water heaters.
Are the venting requirements that lax where you can pretty much just do whatever as long as it meets the overall calculated length and elbow requirements?
I am used requirements for non condensing units, wood burning appliances, etc that require much more in order to be deemed safe and acceptable.
