Fan Assisted Horizontal Vent

[Mike Lamb]

I was looking at the specs for a horizontal fan assisted water heater vent and it did not mention that the pitch needs to be upwards. Does it? The specs I was looking at merely says, "horizontal." I did not see a tag for this particular fan.

This horizontal vent was about 15' with some downward and negative pitch runs.

I talked briefly to a rep from Tjurnlund. The vents do not need an upward slope with their in-line inducement fans.

So where does the condensate go?

Wouldn't it go out at the vent termination?

As long as there is no belly in the line, it should be good to go......
