power vent

Can anyone tell me what the distance between two power vent terminations are?? I need to install a power vented gas water heater in a mechanical room along with a gas fired power vented furnace. This utility room has 13 feet of exterior wall for me to exit with power vent terminals. Also, this is going to be installed in a laundry/utility room. Are the new gas water heaters (vapor technology?)ok for this type of installation?
Thanks,
Cowie

    try Field

    I'm an oil guy but I'm pretty sure they have a control kit to vent multiple gas appliances through one venter.

    There is no distance requirement for termination, just combustion air. You can use one venter for both pieces of equipment. I prefer the Field Controls PVO with adjustable post purge. The SWG has control kits that do this, but it takes a bigger hole in the wall and everything is outside in the snow and rain.

    for control of two appliances with one venter. Simple wiring. Pre and post purge built in
