Mine install was also in the basement and allowed for a 2" air intake and a 2" exhaust out the side of the house. The manual provides for other options including roof vent.

There was no roof vent installed it was side wall vented out of a block foundation basment wall. If you have to roof vent it you can do so in schedule 40 PVC with a typical roof vent.

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

None. the box is mounted on the outside of the house, on a brick wall. Works great.

It screws into the side of the roof vent, the person who installed them did not use the screws that came with the kit, he used self locking screws. Quick and easy job.

There is ventilation. Were the roof meets the back there is triangle vent hole on each side. Under the roof on the front is a half inch vent the length of the front board.

We had to buy special pipes for the venting to work. If you call a local distributor (Rinnai) they can give you more details.

The vent is at the back of the unit. The exhaust blower motor can be positioned or repositioned to blow the exhaust either backward of upward.

My vent is stainless steel. I have no idea about the other kind. Sorry. My sons installed the new heater for me and the steel one was already there.

Mine is vertical venting. The unit looks beautiful in my kitchen. It's difficult to install; reason is that the lower chimney is attached to the base unit and to mount the 2 screw holes in the back is not easy.

I bought the vent kit from a local plumbing wholesaler. It was a vertical kit.

Jodi, I have no idea as the unit I purchased was to replace an existing vent on a house with siding. Sorry

It is installed over the normal Rv vent by drilling small holes in the existing vent flange. Than just bolt in place. Worked well in a heavy rain storm.

The exhaust and air intake have to be vented to the the outside other than through the chimney. In this model, the vent pipe is double walled using a 3"/5" B-vent. The inner 3" vents exhaust and the outer vent is the air intake. It is important to use Rheem approved B-vents. The B-vents are a particular grade of metal and have gaskets to seal the inner connection. The B-vents are expensive. The B-vents must also terminate outside following specific code requirements as to distances from windows, doors, etc. the B-vent can terminate through the roof or horizontally through a wall as long as requirements are satisfied.

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

Each vent includes two screws (at least 2 inches in length) and has predrilled holes in the back and bottom. I screwed mine to to the wall using the screws and predrilled holes in the back which I imagine is the method used most often.

Can be vented either upward or out of back depending upon how the exhaust motor is positioned. Instructions included, easy to follow.
