Slant/Fin VSPH-60 Venting Installation, Sidewall Venting NON-DIRECT Vent, Sidewall Direct Venting

8 VICTORY VSPH Models

VENTING INSTALLATION

Follow the vent material manufacturer’s instructions in con- junction with these instructions for venting system installa- tion.

I.Non-Direct Vent Installation

The air for combustion is taken from the ambient air sur- rounding the boiler; therefore, ample supply of air is required for combustion and ventilation (see page 5.)

DO NOT use this installation method if the surrounding of the boiler is contaminated. The harmful corrosive contamination may be from the chlorine-type detergents, cleaners, bleach- es, and fabric softeners used in laundry or chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals.

A. SIDEWALL VENTING - NON-DIRECT VENT

Figures 5 and 6 show typical horizontal sidewall venting. For combustible wall passage of vent piping, a UL listed thimble must be used, providing the wall thickness from 3" minimum up to 12" maximum. The vent piping must terminate with a screened tee or elbow termination facing down.

CAUTION: Flue gasses exiting from the vent terminal will condense. Building materials in the area of the vent terminal should be protected from discoloration and degradation.

VENT TERMINATION LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

1.The venting system shall terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.

2.The venting system shall terminate at least 4 feet below,

4 feet horizontally from, or 1 foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building. The bottom of the vent terminal or air intake terminal shall be at least 12 inches above grade or the normal snow level whichever is greater.

3.Through the wall vents shall not terminate over public walkways or over areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves or other equip- ment. Minimum clearance of 4 feet horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.

4.Vent termination must not be located in any confined space (i.e. window wells, alcoves, narrow alleys) or under any overhang or deck. Vent termination should not allow flue gas discharge towards neighbor’s windows or where personal injury or property damages can occur.

B. NON-DIRECT VENT - VERTICAL VENTING

Figure 7 shows typical venting through the roof. The vent pipe must pass through the ceiling, floor and the roof verti- cally through a 7" minimum diameter cutout. A fire stop is required for each ceiling and floor penetration. For roof pas-

sage, an appropriate UL listed roof flashing must be used.

An existing chimney (see Figure 8) may be used as a chase for vertical venting. Other appliances CANNOT be vented into the same chimney or vent pipe with in the chimney.

The vertical vent piping must terminate with a screened tee, combination of 45˚ elbow and a 90˚ screened elbow termina- tion or a rain cap termination.

II. Direct Vent Installation

Air intake piping from outside to the boiler air intake collar provides the air for combustion. The boiler surrounding may be contaminated with chlorine-based products such as laun- dry detergents.

A. SIDEWALL DIRECT VENTING

Figures 9 and 10 show typical sidewall direct venting. Slant/Fin vent/air intake termination MUST be used for this method of installation.

CAUTION: Flue gasses existing from the vent terminal will condense. Building materials in the area of the terminal should be protected from discoloration and degradation. See page 8 for vent termination location and required clearances.

VENT/AIR INTAKE TERMINATION INSTALLATION

1.Termination must be installed horizontally.

2.Refer to Figure 11 for installation details.

3.Wall thickness should be 3" to 12" thick

4.Follow instruction for “vent termination location and clearances” explained on this page

5.Cut a rectangular opening with following dimensions in the wall.

Height: 51⁄4"

Width: 123⁄4"

6.From outside of the wall, install outside termination plate using 4 screws. Make sure the louvers are at left side.

7.For combustible wall a 4" galvanized pipe must be used as a wall thimble.

The length of the 4" galvanized pipe should be approximately 1" shorter than the wall thickness.

8.From inside the building, fit galvanized pipe over 4" collar of the outside plate.

9.From inside, fit 3" diameter air intake pipe over 3" collar located on the air box of the outside plate.
