installed above the bottom of chimney to prevent blockage.

G. Vent pipe should slope upward from draft hood to chimney not less than one inch in four feet. No portion of vent pipe should run downward or have dips or sags. Vent pipe must be securely supported.

H. Vent pipe must be inserted into but not beyond inside wall of chimney liner. Seal tight between vent pipe and chimney.

I.Do not install non-listed (AGA, CGA, ETL or UL) vent damper or other obstruction in vent pipe.

14.IFANEXISTINGBOILERISREMOVED-

A. Vent installation shall be in accordance with local building codes; or the local authority having jurisdic- tion; or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54; or the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, ANSI/NFPA

211. Both of the aforementioned standards, ANSI

Z223.1 and ANSI/NFPA 211, specify Type B and Type L double wall metal vents and fire clay tile lined masonry chimneys as suitable chimney constructions for Category I, draft hood equipped appliances, such as this Series 2 boiler. Both standards prohibit the use of unlined masonry construction as a chimney, with the exception in ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 that "Where permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, existing chimneys shall be permitted to have their use continued when an appliance is replaced by an appliance of similar type, input rating, and efficiency." ANSI/NFPA 211 prohibits the use of single wall metal vent as a chimney, while ANSI Z223.1 allows it under very restrictive conditions. In Canada refer to the Natural Gas Installa- tion Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the LP Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 - latest edition.

B.Do not connect into same leg of chimney serving an open fireplace.

C.Inspect chimney for obstructions or restrictions and remove. Clean chimney if necessary.

D.Vent pipe to chimney must not be smaller than outlet on draft hood or damper. Although single wall vent pipe may be used, Type B is recommended. The venting system must be arranged so that only the boiler is served by the damper device. Installation per paragraph 12 complies with this provision.

E.Where two or more appliances vent into a common vent, the area of the common vent should at least equal the area of the largest vent plus 50% of the area in the additional vents. Do not connect the vent of this appliance into any portion of mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure.

F.Vent pipe should have the greatest possible initial rise above the draft hood consistent with the head room available and the required clearance from adjacent combustible building structure. Vent Pipe should be

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining to it.

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the follow- ing steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation:

A. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

B.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

C.Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range-hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

D.Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the Lighting (or Operating) Instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.

E.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

F.After it has been determined that each appliance remain- ing connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

G.Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
