1.Saf-T Vent SC is an advanced concentric vent system designed for zero clearance installation in residential applications. The inner wall is constructed from superferritic AL29-4C®stainless steel. The outer wall is also constructed from stainless steel, providing durability and a lasting finish.

2.As a Special Gas Vent system: Saf-T Vent is approved for use on ANSI Category I, II, III, and IV Gas-Burning Appliances and certain Direct Vent Appliances. Saf-T Vent SC is appropriate for use on appliances that specify an AL29-4C venting system.

3.As a Sealed Combustion system: The unique concentric design of Saf-T Vent SC also allows it to function as a pipe-in-a-pipe vent. Products of combustion are exhausted out through the inner wall while combustion air is drawn in through the outer wall. An appliance can be direct-vented with only a single penetration through the building structure.

This application must be approved by the Appliance Manufacturer.

Note: Saf-T Vent SC includes an integral seal and does not require RTV sealant. However, sealant may be necessary when connecting Saf-T Vent SC components directly to certain appliance flue collars and to the gasket-less Saf-T Vent GC and Saf-T Vent CI vent systems.

For applications up to 550°F/288°C, approved sealants include GE RTV 106 and Dow Corning 736.

For applications up to 300°F/149°C, approved sealants include GE RTV 106 and Dow Corning 732.

4.Pre-Installation Considerations:

•Proper planning prior to installation is essential as to avoid possible contact with concealed plumbing or electrical wiring inside walls, floors or ceilings as well as maintaining proper clearances. Be sure to plan a sufficient number of supports for the entire system that will maintain the required straight-line pitch and hold

Clearances to Combustibles:

the system in place. A continuous straight-line pitch of at least ¼” (2°) to the foot on horizontal runs must be maintained in order to properly rid the system of the corrosive condensate.

5.General Installation Requirements:

•Saf-T Vent SC vent sections, or other Saf-T Vent products, must be used throughout the entire length of the system. Alternatives such as galvanized pipe, PVC, nonmetallic pipe, prefabricated chimney, field-fabricated vents or Type B vent sections must not be used. Do not mix pipes, fittings, or joining methods from different manufacturers.

•More than one appliance may not be interconnected to any part of the venting system.

•Any penetrations of ceilings, floors or walls must be properly fire-stopped.

•Whenever gas-burning equipment is installed in the same space where halogenated substances may exist (refrigerants, solvents, bleaches, salts, etc.), clean outside air must be utilized for combustion.

•The vent system shall not be routed into, through or within any other actively used vent or chimney.

•Seal weather exposed joints of the outer jacket with foil tape or an exterior grade silicone sealant.

•Combustible Material is any material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, or other materials that are capable of being ignited or burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though it is flame- proofed, fire-retardant, or plastered. (Source: NPFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-1999.)

•Non-Combustible Material is any material that is not capable of being ignited and burned, such material consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, asbestos, glass and plaster. (Source: NPFPA54/ ANSI Z223.1-1999.)

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.
