PART 5 – VENTING, COMBUSTION AIR, AND CONDENSATE REMOVAL
The boiler must be vented as detailed in this Venting Section. Ensure exhaust vent and intake piping complies with these instructions
regarding vent system. Inspect finished exhaust vent and intake piping thoroughly to ensure all joints are well secured, airtight, and
comply with all applicable code requirements, as well as with the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to properly install the vent
system will result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. GENERAL
This boiler is certified as a “Category IV” appliance, and requires a special venting system. The vent system will operate with a positive
pressure in the pipe. Exhaust gases must be piped directly outdoors using the vent materials and rules outlined in these instructions.
Do not connect vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under
positive pressure. Follow the venting instructions below carefully. Failure to do so will result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
1. Installation should be made in accordance with the regulations of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, local code authorities, and utility
companies which pertain to this type of water heating equipment.
2. Install the venting system in accordance with these instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
CAN/CGA B149, and/or applicable provisions of local building codes.
