a.Minimum twelve (12) inches above grade plus normally expected snow accumulation level, or seven (7) feet above grade if located adjacent to public walkway. Do not install over public walkway where local experience indicates appliance flue gas vapor or condensate creates a nuisance or hazard.

b.Minimum three (3) feet above any forced air inlet located within ten (10) feet.

c.Minimum four (4) feet below, four (4) feet horizontally from, or four (4) feet above any door, window, or gravity air inlet.

d.Minimum four (4) feet horizontally from electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief valves. This distance may be reduced if equipment is protected from damage due to condensation or vapor by enclosure, overhangs, etc.

e.Minimum twelve (12) inches from overhang or corner of building.

9.Enclose vent passing through occupied or unoccupied spaces above the boiler with material having a fire resistance rating of at least equal to the rating of the adjoining floor or ceiling. Maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials. See Figure 1.

Note: For one or two family dwellings, fire resistance rating requirement may not need to be met, but is recommended.

10.Plan venting system to avoid possible contact with plumbing or electrical wires. Start at vent connector on top of boiler and work towards vent terminal.

11.Once a vent pipe manufacturer and system is chosen never mix and match vent systems.

12.If a non-standard length pipe is required:

Gasketed Vent System: The use of the adjustable length pipe (P/N 8116319U) is recommended to complete a non-standard pipe length. This pipe

requires a minimum installed length of 12¾ inch and can adjust across a 7 inch gap up to a maximum of 19¾ inch long. (Note for the adjustable pipe the installed length should be measured from the centerline of the bead on the male end of the first pipe to the end of the female pipe excluding the locking band of the second pipe with a single gasket.) Only in the event the adjustable length pipe is not sufficient a standard length pipe may be cut using the procedure outlined below for the Gasket- Less Vent System.

WARNING

Never exceed maximum installed length of 19¾ inches for adjustable length pipe.

Risk of flue gas leakage is possible.

NOTICE

Cut must be square with pipe and filed or sanded smooth before joining. Carefully ensure roundness of cut pipe by hand with gloves before installing. Seal joint with RTV specified in this manual.

1.Procedure for Joining Burnham Gasketed Vent Pipe and Fittings. See Figure 3.

a.Wipe the male end of each joint using an alcohol pad to remove any dirt and grease.

b.Align weld seams in pipes and use a slight twisting motion to FULLY insert male end into female end of joint. Ensure bead in male end of pipe is below locking band and rest against the end of the female pipe. Verify the factory- installed gasket is not dislodged or cut.

PVG specifications

Burnham PVG, an innovative leader in the heating industry, presents a range of high-efficiency gas boilers that are designed specifically for residential applications. Burnham has established a solid reputation for producing reliable and durable heating solutions, with the PVG series exemplifying their commitment to quality and performance.

One of the standout features of the Burnham PVG is its advanced stainless steel heat exchanger. This design not only ensures superior heat transfer but also enhances durability and resistance to corrosion compared to traditional cast iron counterparts. The use of stainless steel contributes to the longevity of the system, allowing homeowners to enjoy efficient heating for years with less risk of breakdown.

The PVG series incorporates cutting-edge modulating technology, which adjusts the boiler’s output to match the heating demand. This modulating feature allows for more precise temperature control, optimizing energy consumption and minimizing fuel costs. Unlike conventional boilers that operate at a fixed output, the ability to modulate enables the PVG to deliver precisely the right amount of energy when needed, thus enhancing overall system efficiency.

In addition to its efficiency and performance capabilities, the Burnham PVG is designed with ease of installation and maintenance in mind. The compact design enables versatile installation options, even in tight spaces or retrofit applications. Furthermore, the accessible panel layout simplifies service and maintenance tasks, allowing HVAC professionals to perform routine checks and repairs with ease.

The PVG series also emphasizes user-friendly operations, featuring intuitive controls that allow for straightforward adjustments and monitoring. With options for direct vent and conventional venting systems, homeowners can select the best installation method for their specific needs and living environment.

Additionally, the Burnham PVG aligns with environmental considerations by meeting stringent emissions standards, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas outputs. With its energy-efficient operation and commitment to sustainability, the PVG series represents a forward-thinking choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing home comfort.

In summary, Burnham PVG is characterized by its durable stainless steel construction, modulating technology, compact design, user-friendly controls, and eco-conscious performance. This series exemplifies what modern residential heating solutions should aspire to achieve: efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, making it an excellent choice for intelligent energy management in the home.
