Does it need to be vented thru a chimney?

You need to put it on an outside wall and cut about an 8 inch round hole through the wall

It vents directly thru an outside wall. Everything you need to vent it is included with the heater

No, it does not to be vented through a chimney, but it does need to be vented through a wall. The DV21L comes with a template drawing, which shows the necessary vent hole and the supply line. It is quite easy to install if the directions are followed.

Yes, the unit can be vented through an outside wall with the recommended Rinnai/Ubbink vent piping. I would recommend obtaining the Rinnai RU80 Installation manual, (available for download), on the Rinnai website. Proper venting is discussed in great detail as is other important installation requirements.Good luck with your install, this is a quality water heating devise, installed properly.

This particular unit has to go out side. Its not vented properly for outside. So only outside.

Yes. it can be set to vent outside. I replaced an older GE unit with this one and it fit right into the venting that existed.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

Yes. You need to vent all the exhaust air out of your place or else the hot air will just recirculate in the room preventing it from cooling the room.

I use mine in a wall tent so the chimney is not insulated. I bought 4" pipe from Ace Hardware and an adapter that goes from 4" to 2". Helps with the air flow. I also added a baffle near the back to keep the flames from going up the chimney. Add one 4" flue to the pipe to control the burn and replace the handle to get a tighter seal.

no that would put people at risk of carbon dioxide poisoning etc. other problems would include excessive moisture. the vent must go to the out side world. It does not need to be vented through the roof but according to building code it must be located specific distances from windows and doors.

Yes, you definitely need to vent it outside. It comes with two hoses about six inch diameter each.

I use mine outdoors. That requires no venting. You can use it indoors, however, you must duct away the gas exhaust which is hot and contains whatever chemicals result from the combustion = probably CO2. So-you need some sort of insulated flue system like you would with a gas stove. You can download the owner's manual which describes how to do an indoor installation. Outdoors is so much less hassle.

My installation was for a 14 foot ceiling. The chimney extends upward. I vented to an outside wall so it worked fine for that application. It depends on whether you intend to vent upward through the ceiling - mounting height is a factor. I believe the chimney extends to a grand total of three feet. If you plan to go upward through the ceiling, Amazon does sell a chimney extension kit: http://www.amazon.com/ZLKBWEXT-1-Piece-Extension-Model-Range/dp/B00E4Q0FF6/ref=pd_sim_la_2

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.
