Installation and Service Manual

If the air inlet cap is within a 10-foot (3.05m) radius of the flue outlet, the point of termination for the combustion air inlet cap must be at least 3 feet (0.91m) below the point of flue gas termination (vent cap).

Do not install the combustion air inlet cap closer than 10 feet (3.05m) from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.

Combined Air Inlet Points

The air inlet pipes from multiple boilers can be combined to a single common connection if the common air inlet pipe has a cross sectional area equal to or larger than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet pipe.

Example: Two 10" air inlet pipes (78.5 in2 area each) have a total area of 157 in2 and will require a 15" (176.7 in2 area) common air inlet pipe.

The air inlet point for multiple boiler air inlets must be provided with an exterior opening which has a free area equal to or greater than the total area of all air inlet pipes connected to the common air inlet. This exterior opening for combustion air must connect directly to the outdoors. The total length of the combined air inlet pipe must not exceed a maximum of 50 (15.2m) equivalent feet. Subtract 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90° elbow in the air inlet pipe. You must deduct the restriction in area provided by any screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet point. These are common on the sidewall air inlet openings. Screens, grills or louvers installed in the common air inlet can reduce the free area of the opening from 25% to 75% based on the materials used.

Vent System Options

This unit has six venting options.

1. Conventional Negative Draft Venting

This option uses a vertical rooftop flue termination. Combustion air is supplied from the mechanical room. See column 2 for detailed information.

2. Vertical DirectAire™ Venting

This option uses a vertical conventional vent for flue products. Combustion air is supplied by a pipe from the sidewall or rooftop. See page 17 for venting details.

3. Sidewall Venting

This option uses a powered vent assembly to exhaust the flue products out a sidewall vent termination. Combustion air is supplied from the mechanical room. See page 19 for venting details.

4. Horizontal DirectAire™ Venting

This option uses a powered vent assembly to exhaust the flue products out a sidewall. Combustion air is supplied by a pipe from the sidewall. See page 21 for venting details.

5. Direct Venting

This option uses a sealed AL29-4C flue and a separate combustion air pipe to the outdoors. This system terminates both the flue and combustion air inlet in the same pressure zone. The flue outlet and combustion air intake may terminate at either a sidewall (horizontal) or the rooftop (vertical). See page 22 for venting details.

6. Outdoor Installation Venting

This option uses the installation of a special air inlet/vent cap on top of the unit. See page 26 for venting details.

All units are shipped from the factory equipped for conventional negative draft venting. All other optional vent systems require the installation of specific vent kits and venting materials. The following is a detailed explanation of the installation requirements for each venting system, components used and part numbers of vent kits for each model.

Barometric Damper Location

Any venting system option that requires a barometric damper must adhere to the following directions for optimum performance.

The preferred location for the barometric damper is in a tee or collar installed in the vertical pipe rising from the unit’s flue outlet. The barometric damper MUST NOT be installed in a bull head tee installed on the unit’s flue outlet. The tee or collar containing the barometric damper should be approximately three feet vertically above the connection to the unit’s flue outlet. This location ensures that any positive velocity pressure from the unit’s internal combustion fan is dissipated and the flue products are rising due to buoyancy generated from the temperature of the flue products. Adjust the weights on the damper to ensure that draft is maintained within the specified range.
