Vitoden flue ?

I'd like to know about the flue piping limitations on this sweet boiler. How far can you go verticaly, how far horizontally,with how many 90 degree bends. I'd like to use this boiler, but we are usually asked to put the boiler in the basement, which quite often means the flue has to go 20 or 30 feet verticaly to pop out of roof, or 10 feet verticaly up, then 20 feet horizontally to get to out side wall.
We have used the MZ, but the flue pipe and fittings are very pricey, can usually do the job though.
Thanks, Todd

VITODENS Venting
Todd,
Right now the unit is only approved for horizontal venting with a 20' Maximum run with 3 elbows. 1 elbow = 1.6'. It will soon be approved for longer horizontal and veritcal venting.

Vitodens venting
The manual says 20 ft. equivelent ft. of pipe, an elbow =1.6 ft. of pipe. Have not fired my first one yet, as soon as I get H20 and gas I will post my results.0 -
The vitodens
can go twenty feet total with sidewall discharge. Viessmann has just received approval for roof vent, thirty three feet max. Horizontal can be no more than 25% of vertical total. 45's and 90's count0 -
