There are three basic ways to vent the BWF boiler:
• Horizontal (“side wall”) venting using an approved AL29-4C stainless steel vent system.
• Vertical venting using an approved AL29-4C stainless steel vent system.
• Chimney venting using a masonry or “B” vent chimney and a special Category I Vent Kit available from Crown.
Table 3 summarizes these three venting options. One of the columns in Table 3 must describe the planned vent system exactly.
The following instructions describe the design and installation of Horizontal and Vertical Direct Exhaust (Category III)
systems only. Instructions for Chimney (Category I) venting are provided with the Crown Category I vent kit or are available
from Crown.
