VII Venting

WARNING

Failure to vent this boiler in accordance with these instructions could cause flue gas to enter the building resulting in severe property damage, personal injury, or death:

•Do not attempt to vent this boiler with galvanized, PVC, or any other vent components not listed in Table 7.3.

•Do not obtain combustion air from within the building.

•Do not install a barometric damper or drafthood on this boiler.

CAUTION

Moisture and ice may form on the surfaces around the vent termination. To prevent deterioration, surfaces should be in good repair (sealed, painted, etc.).

A. Vent System Design

There are two basic ways to vent this boiler:

•Horizontal (“Side Wall”) Concentric Venting - Vent system exits the building through an outside wall. Concentric venting consists of a “pipe within a pipe”. Flue gas exits the building through the inner pipe and combustion air is drawn into the boiler through the space between the inner and outer pipe.

•Vertical Concentric Venting - Vent system exits the building through the roof. Concentric venting consists of a “pipe within a pipe”. Flue gas exits the building through the inner pipe and combustion air is drawn into the boiler through the space between the inner and outer pipe.

Both of these systems are considered “direct vent” because in both, combustion is drawn directly from the outdoors into the boiler. A description of all of these venting options are shown in Tables 7.1 and 7.6. For clarity, these vent options are numbered from 1 to 6. One of the vent option columns in Tables 7.1 or 7.6 must match the planned vent and air intake system exactly. In addition, observe the following guidelines:

1)Approved vent systems - Use only one Concentric vent system components supplied by Crown. The standard boiler is supplied with a concentric vent system having a maximum usable length of 25” (Figure 2.1). For longer runs, additional straight lengths and elbows are available from Crown. In some cases, larger diameter concentric pipe must be used. Each Crown concentric vent component consists of an inner pipe of polypropylene and the outer pipe of steel. Integral gaskets on each concentric fitting provide a gas tight seal. A list of all Crown concentric vent components is shown in Table 7.3.

In this manual, concentric pipe sizes are called out in terms of the inner and outer pipe nominal diameters in millimeters. For example, “60/100mm” pipe consists of a 60mm exhaust pipe inside a 100mm diameter outer pipe.

2)Maximum Vent and Air Intake Lengths - The maximum length of the vent air intake piping depends upon the vent option selected. See Table 7.1 or 7.6 for the maximum vent length. In horizontal vent systems, the lengths shown in Table 7.1 are in addition to the Elbow Adaptor on top of the boiler. If more elbows are desired, the maximum allowable vent length must be reduced by the amount shown in Table 7.5 for each additional elbow used. Termination fittings are never counted, although the length of the concentric terminal section is counted.
