3)Assembly of Z-FlexZ-Vent III:

a)General Notes:

•Non-expanded ends of SVE Series III piping sections may be cut using aviation snips or a 24 thread per inch hacksaw. File or sand the cut end smooth before assembling. Expanded ends may be cut to adapt the SVE series III to the vent collar or Crown coaxial terminal. See the following instructions.

•Support horizontal piping sections at intervals of 48” or less.

•Vertical venting systems must be supported by at least one Z-Flex fire stop. An additional vertical support is required after any offset and as required by the Z-Vent III installation instructions.

b)Start assembly of the vent system at the boiler. Remove the hose clamp shipped on the BWC vent collar. Bend the three hose clamp tabs on this collar outward slightly.

c)Clean the exterior of the male end of the first piece of pipe and the inside of the vent collar on the boiler. Remove dirt, grease, and moisture from the surfaces to be sealed. Dry surfaces or allow to dry thoroughly.

d)On the male end of the pipe, apply a ¼” wide bead of high temperature silicone approximately ½ inch from the male end of the pipe. Apply ¼” beads of silicone along both sides of the longitudinal seam (Fig. 6.8).

e)Insert the male end of the pipe into the boiler vent collar until it bottoms out.

f)Apply an additional bead of silicone over the outside of the joint and smooth out.

g)Replace and tighten the clamp on the vent collar.

h)The female end of each Z-Vent III component has a silicone sealing gasket. Examine all vent components to insure that the gasket integrity has remained during shipping. Gaskets must be in the proper position or flue gas could leak resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.

i)Align the second piece of pipe with the first and push them together as far as they will go, but not less than 1-3/4”.

j)Tighten gear clamp to a minimum torque of 40 in-lbs and a maximum of 50 in-lbs.

k)Repeat Steps (h) – (j) for the remaining Z-Vent III components.

l)In horizontal vent systems, a locking band or gear clamp must be used at either side of the wall penetration to prevent shifting of the vent system in and out of the wall. This applies to both combustible and non- combustible walls.

n) Allow the silicone to cure per the silicone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the boiler.

BWC Series specifications

The Crown Boiler BWC Series is a modern choice for heating needs, renowned for its efficiency and robust design. This series offers a range of residential and light commercial heating applicabilities, ensuring both comfort and reliability for users.

One of the standout features of the BWC Series is its efficiency. Crown Boilers utilize advanced technologies to maximize energy output while minimizing fuel consumption. With an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating often exceeding 90%, users can expect significant cost savings on their energy bills over time.

The BWC Series employs a high-quality, stainless steel heat exchanger, which not only enhances performance but also extends the lifespan of the boiler. This heat exchanger is designed to transfer heat efficiently, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy from the fuel is converted into usable heat. Additionally, the design helps to prevent corrosion and maintain system integrity over years of usage.

For technological advancements, the BWC Series incorporates a modulating gas valve which allows for precise control over the boiler's operation. This feature enables the system to adjust its output based on the heating demands of the home, resulting in improved energy efficiency and consistent comfort levels. Moreover, this modulating technology reduces the frequency of cycling, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the unit and minimizing wear and tear.

Another characteristic of the Crown Boiler BWC Series is its user-friendly interface. The boiler is equipped with a simple control panel that allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of settings. This accessibility is essential for users who want to manage their heating system without the need for extensive technical knowledge.

In terms of installation and maintenance, the BWC Series is designed with convenience in mind. Its compact footprint allows it to fit comfortably in a variety of spaces, making it an ideal choice for homes with limited installation areas. Additionally, Crown Boiler's commitment to high manufacturing standards ensures that the units require minimal maintenance, providing peace of mind to homeowners.

Overall, the Crown Boiler BWC Series is an excellent solution for those seeking efficient, reliable heating. Its combination of advanced technology, quality construction, and user-friendly design makes it an attractive option for any residential or light commercial application. Whether replacing an old system or installing a new one, the BWC Series delivers comfort and performance that can be depended upon.
