Removal of an Existing Boiler f rom a Common Vent System

BEST PRACTICES

For installations in which the PERFOR- MANCE PLUS is replacing an existing boiler / hot water heater system, which was connected to a common vent system with other appliances, the following steps shall be conducted with each remaining appliance connected to the common vent- ing system:

1.Any unused openings in the common venting system must be sealed.

2.A visual inspection of the venting sys- tem must be conducted for proper siz- ing and horizontal pitch. The inspec- tion should ensure no blockage or restriction is within the vent system, and there is no leakage, corrosion or other items, which could cause an unsafe condition.

3.To adequately test the venting system, close all exterior doors and windows and all doors between the area contain- ing the remaining appliances connected to the common vent system and other areas of the building. Turn on any clothes dryers and any other gas appli- ance not connected to the common vent system. Turn on all exhaust fans, i.e. range hoods and bathroom exhaust fans, preferably at maximum speed. Close any fireplace dampers.

4.Place in operation the first appliance being inspected that is connected to the common vent system. The remaining appliances should not be in operation. Follow the appliance’s lighting instruc- tions and adjust the thermostat to allow the appliance to operate continuously.

5.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Spillage can be detected using the flame of a match or candle or with smoke from a cigarette.

6.Once it has been determined that each remaining appliance connected to the common vent system is properly vent- ed, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any operat- ing gas appliance to their previous con- dition.

Should any improper operation of the common venting system be detected in the outline test, the condition should be corrected so the vent system conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. Canadian installations must conform with B149.1 or 149.2 Installation Code.
