Venting
SECTION VI - Venting
Oil Vent - General Requirements
WARNING
Improper installation of vent system could cause improper draft causing flue gas leakage and carbon monoxide emis- sions, which could cause severe personal injury or death.
Installation must comply with local require- ments for oil burning appliances. In absence of local codes the installer should refer to:
•NFPA 31, Installation of
•NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances.
•In Canada, the installer should refer to CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil- Burning Equipment.
NFPA 211 requires the chimney to be lined before connecting to the ELITE appliance.
DANGER
Inspect existing chimney before installing the ELITE. Failure to com- plete the following guidelines will result in severe personal injury or death:
-Clean the chimney, including removal of any blockages
-Repair or replace any deteriorating or damaged vent pipe or liner
The chimney must extend a minimum 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof and 2 feet higher than any portion of the building within 10 feet.
The cross sectional area of the chimney and the height must be increased at minimum 4% per 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level.
The installer must maintain minimal clearances from the vent pipe to combustible material as follows:
-Type “L” doublewall vent - 6 inches
-Single wall vent pipe - 18 inches
The chimney size should be maintained as min- imal, oversize chimneys could result in the for- mation of condensate in the chimney.
Oil Vent Piping
WARNING
Long horizontal vent runs, excessive number of tees or elbows or other fittings that restrict the combustion flue gas flow can result in potential flue condensation, flue gas leakage and/or carbon monoxide emissions, which can lead to severe per- sonal injury or death.
When the burner and the ELITE are properly installed, the overfire draft on the ELITE should be approximately
- Repair any damaged chimney mor- tar or joints
