E. Separate Vertical Venting System - See Figures 6, 7, 8A, 8B and 9.

NOTICE

Roof penetrations require the use of roof flashing and storm collar - not supplied with boiler.

Vertical Venting

1.Do not exceed maximum vent lengths. Refer to Table 4.

2.Installation of a vertical vent tee 8116304U is required on all vertical vent applications. See Figures 6 and 7. Attach vertical vent drain tee directly to elbow or horizontal pipe from an elbow immediately after vent connector.

3.Slope horizontal runs minimum ¼ inch per foot. Slope towards vertical vent drain tee. Position weld seams in vent pipes, in all horizontal runs, at the top to avoid condensate from lying on the seams.

4.Install fire stops where vent passes through floors, ceilings or framed walls. The fire stop must close the opening between the vent pipe and the structure.

5.Whenever possible, install vent straight through the roof. Refer to Figure 7 if offset is necessary. Maintain minimum clearance to combustible materials.

6.Install Vent Terminal.

a.Size roof opening to maintain minimum clearance from combustible materials.

b.Extend vent pipe to maintain minimum vertical and horizontal distance of twelve (12) inches from roof surface. Allow additional vertical distance for expected snow accumulation. Provide brace as required. Refer to Figures 8A and 8B.

NOTICE

Vertical venting requires the use of roof flashing and a storm collar to prevent moisture from entering the structure.

c.Install storm collar on vent pipe immediately above flashing. Apply Dow Corning Silastic 732 RTV Sealant between vent pipe and storm collar to provide weathertight seal.

d.Attach vent terminal.

Vertical Air Intake Piping

7.Do not exceed maximum air intake length. Refer to Table 4.

8.Locate air intake termination on the same roof location as the vent termination if possible, to prevent nuisance boiler shutdowns. However, boiler may be installed with vertical venting and sidewall combustion air inlet or visa versa, if installation conditions do not allow alternate arrangement.

9.Use single wall metal pipe or PVC and fittings available at most heating distributors.

a. Air intake pipe diameter is based on boiler size.

SCG-3 & SCG-4 uses 3 inch diameter piping. SCG-5 & SCG-6 uses 4 inch diameter piping. SCG-7 thru SCG-9 uses 5 inch diameter piping.

10.Air intake termination must be located:

Vertical - At least twelve (12) inches above the roof surface plus the expected snow accumulation.

11.Start at collar on burner enclosure (inside boiler jacket) and work towards the air intake terminal.

12.Maintain minimum of ¼ inch per foot slope on horizontal runs. Slope down towards boiler.

13.The air intake pipe must be adequately supported with straps or supports no less than five (5) feet apart on horizontal runs. The complete air intake piping system must be rigid and able to withstand minor impacts without collapse.

14.Inlet air pipe penetration:

Vertical - Size roof opening to allow easy insertion of inlet piping and allow proper installation of flashing and storm collar.

a.Use appropriately designed vent flashing when passing through roofs. Follow flashing manufacturers’ instructions for installation procedures. Flashing manufacturers are Air- Jet, American Metal Products, Metal Fab, and Simpson Dura-Vent.

b.Extend air intake pipe to maintain minimum vertical and horizontal distance of twelve (12) inches from roof surface. Allow additional vertical distance for expected snow accumulation. Provide brace as required. Refer to Figures 8A and 8B.

c.Vertical air intake requires flashing and a storm collar to prevent moisture from entering the structure.

SCG specifications

Burnham SCG, short for Burnham Smart City Grid, represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reshaping urban landscapes through the integration of modern technologies and sustainable practices. Situated in the heart of a growing metropolis, Burnham SCG embodies the principles of smart city design, focusing on creating an efficient, interconnected environment that enhances the quality of life for its residents.

One of the key features of Burnham SCG is its extensive use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This infrastructure enables real-time data collection from various sensors strategically placed throughout the city. For instance, smart streetlights equipped with sensors adjust their brightness based on ambient light conditions and pedestrian activity, effectively reducing energy consumption. This use of IoT extends to waste management, where smart bins signal when they are full, optimizing collection routes and minimizing fuel consumption.

In addition to IoT, Burnham SCG places a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources. The city integrates solar panels across public buildings and utilizes wind turbines in designated areas, contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. Furthermore, an advanced battery storage system ensures that excess energy generated during peak production times is efficiently stored and used during high-demand periods, promoting energy resilience.

Transportation in Burnham SCG embraces the future with integrated smart mobility solutions. A robust network of electric vehicle charging stations encourages the adoption of eco-friendly transportation. The city also features a user-friendly app that provides real-time information about public transport schedules, bike-sharing availability, and traffic conditions, making it easier for residents to navigate their daily commute.

The urban design of Burnham SCG prioritizes green spaces and walkability. Urban planners have designed parks and pedestrian-friendly pathways that encourage outdoor activities and community engagement. These green areas not only enhance urban aesthetics but also contribute to improved air quality and biodiversity.

Lastly, community involvement stands at the core of Burnham SCG’s framework. The city regularly engages its residents through public forums and digital platforms, ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes regarding urban development and sustainability initiatives.

In summary, Burnham SCG is a visionary model of a smart city that integrates technology, sustainability, and community engagement. With its innovative features and forward-thinking policies, it sets a benchmark for future urban developments around the world.
