Connect vent starter tee to boiler

Construct vent and optional combustion air run

Follow the instructions in the GV Series 3 Boiler Manual section IIb to connect the vent starter tee to the boiler.

Follow vent pipe manufacturer's instructions for sealing the vent. Vent and combustion air connector piping must be sealed gas-tight to prevent possibility of flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

1.Follow StaR-34manufacturer's instructions to construct vent run and for methods of supporting vent runs.

•Clean joints before sealing. See vent pipe manufacturer's instructions to clean joints.

•Use their specified sealant (maximum 250 0F flue temperature). Do not use screws.

•Do not mix types or manufacturers of vent materials.

•Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials to vent pipe; 0" clearance for noncombustible materials.

•Install vent pipe with seams on top of vent runs.

•If needed, male end of vent pipe may be cut to provide correct length. See vent pipe manufacturer's instructions for use.

2.If installing with direct vent method, use instructions provided with Weil-McLain termination kit. See Figures 3, 4 or 5 on page 5.

Connect vent run to termination

Venting through sidewall

1.If using Weil-McLain Vent/Air Intake Termination Kit, see instructions provided in that kit. Applies to direct (Figure 3, page 5) or non-direct vent (Figure 4, page 5) method.

2.If using non-direct method with termination coupling only, see Figures 8 and 9.

•If passing through noncombustible wall, provide hole diameter large enough to insert the pipe through. Sleeve and spacers are not required.

3.Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials to vent pipe; 0" clearance for noncombustible materials.

4.Refer to vent termination WARNING, item 19 on page 3.

Venting through existing chimney or roof

1.Direct vent method — follow instructions supplied in Weil-McLainThrough-Roof or Through-Unused-Chimney Termination Kit to assemble termination.

2.Non-Direct vent method (only through the roof, not through chimney):

•Vent pipe must extend through roof flashing, jacket or thimble. See Figure 10.

•Vent may pass through floor, inside wall or concealed space when installed according to vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.

3.Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials to vent pipe.
