Prevent combustion air contamination —

Air contamination

Common household and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine compounds. When these chemicals pass through the boiler, they can form strong acids in the vent system or boiler. The acid can eat through the vent or boiler wall, causing serious damage and presenting a

possible threat of flue gas spillage into the building.

Please read the information below. If the contaminating chemicals will be present, have your installer pipe the boiler air from outside per the Boiler manual.

If the boiler is installed in any area likely to cause contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, you must pipe combustion air to the boiler air intake. Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler and vent system, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Do not operate a GV boiler in a laundry room or pool facility, for example, without using ducted outside air. These areas will always contain contaminants.
