Vent Pipe (Double Wall) - See Manufacturer’s Instructions.

*Consider also vent pipe clearance, including distance from edge of flue outlet to combustible construction (as applicable).

Unit may be installed on combustible flooring, provided the boiler is not set on carpet and a metal drip pan is placed under the appliance.

Unit may be installed in a closet with the above clearances. See also Section B, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

B.AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

1.Be certain adequate facilities are available to provide air for satisfactory combustion and ventilation.

2.Appliances Located in Unconfined Spaces.

a.For installation in unconfined spaces with conventional construction and larger areas such as basements, the supply of air for combustion and ventilation can usually be considered adequate.

3.Appliances Located in Confined Spaces.

a.All air from inside the building: Provide two permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room. If all air for combustion and ventilation is to come from within the building: two openings, one near the ceiling and one near the floor of the boiler room shall be provided with the minimum free area of each opening equal to 140 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned.

b.If all air for combustion and ventilation is to come from outside the building: two openings, one near the ceiling and one near the floor of the boiler room shall be provided with the minimum free area of each opening equal to 35 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned.

If ducts are used to convey the air, areas of 35 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned for vertical ducts or 70 sq. in. per gallon of oil burned for horizontal ducts are to be provided. Ducts shall have the same area as the free area of the openings to which they are connected.
