Sidewall venting without fan

Installation & Operation Manual

2 Venting (continued)

Terminate the venting system at least 3 feet (0.9m) above any forced air inlet within 10 feet (3.05m).

Terminate the venting system at least 4 feet (1.2m) below, 4 feet (1.2m) beside, or 1 foot (30cm) above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building.

Locate vent termination at least 8 feet (2.4m) horizontally from any combustion air intake located above the sidewall termination cap.

CAUTION

Units which are shut down or will not operate may experience freezing due to convective air flow in the flue pipe, through the air inlet, or from negative pressure in the equipment room. In cold climates, operate the pump continuously to help prevent freezing of boiler water. Provide proper freeze protection. See Freeze Protection, page 47.

For Models 402 - 752 which are approved for sidewall venting without an external power vent fan, you must install specific vent kits and venting materials (reference Table 2C on page 24 for kit numbers).

The following is a detailed explanation of Sidewall Venting Without an External Power Vent Fan installation requirements.

Flue outlet piping

Venting Guidelines

If using this venting option, a sealed AL29-4C venting system for flue products is required on all models of this appliance. This venting system operates with a positive pressure in the vent. The internal combustion air blower generates this positive pressure which operates the combustion process and also exhausts the flue products from the building.

This vent system has specific vent material and installation requirements. Only use listed sealed AL29-4C vent system materials. Follow all installation requirements. See Table 2A for proper pipe size for your unit. A list of sealed AL29-4C flue pipe manufacturers is located on page 15.

Seal all vent joints and seams gas-tight.

Drain tee installation

A drain tee must be installed in the vent pipe to collect and dispose of any condensate that may occur in the vent system. The drain tee must be installed as the first fitting after the horizontal ell on the top of the unit (see FIG. 2-9). Plastic drain tubing, sized per the vent manufacturer’s instructions, shall be provided as a drain line from the tee. The drain tubing must have a trap provided by a 3" (7.6cm) diameter circular trap loop in the drain tubing. Prime the trap loop by pouring a small quantity of water into the drain hose before assembly to the vent. Secure the trap loop in position with nylon wire ties. Use caution not to collapse or restrict the condensate drain line with the nylon wire ties. The condensate drain must be routed to a suitable drain for disposal of condensate that may occur in the direct vent system. Refer to the condensate drain installation instructions as supplied by the manufacturer of the vent material.
