Determine boiler location

(continued)

Failure to follow all instructions can result
in fl ue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions, causing severe personal injury
or death.

ƽ WARNING

When using an existing vent system to

install a new boiler:

Check the following venting components before installing:

• Material - For materials listed for use with this appliance,

see Section 3 - General Venting, Table 3A. For stainless

steel venting, an adapter of the same manufacturer

(Table 3B) must be used at the fl ue collar connection.

• Size - To ensure proper pipe size is in place, see Table 3D.

Check to see that this size is used throughout the vent

system.

• Manufacturer - For a stainless steel application, you

must use only the listed manufacturers and their type

product listed in Table 3A for CAT IV positive pressure

venting with fl ue producing condensate.

• Supports - Non-combustible supports must be in place

allowing a minimum 1/4" rise per foot. The supports

should adequately prevent sagging and vertical slippage,

by distributing the vent system weight. For additional
information, consult the vent manufacturer’s

instructions for installation.

• Terminations - Carefully review Sections 3 through 5 to

ensure requirements for the location of the vent and air

terminations are met and orientation of these fi t the
appropriate image from the Sidewall or Vertical
options listed in the General Venting Section. For

stainless steel vent, only use terminations listed in Table

3B for the manufacturer of the installed vent.

• Seal - With prior requirements met, the system should be

tested to the procedure listed in parts (c) through (f) of

the Removal of an Existing Boiler Section on page 12.

With stainless steel vent, seal and connect all pipe and
components as specifi ed by the vent manufacturer used; with
PVC/CPVC vent, see the Installing Vent or Air Piping Section
on page 17.

ƽ WARNING

If any of these conditions are not met,
the existing system must be updated
or replaced for that concern. Failure to
follow all instructions can result in fl ue gas
spillage and carbon monoxide emissions,
causing severe personal injury or death.
