3 General venting (continued)

Install vent and combustion air piping

￿DANGER The Knight wall mount boiler must be vented and supplied with combustion and

ventilation air as described in this section. Ensure the vent and air piping and the combustion air supply comply with these instructions regarding vent system, air system, and combustion air quality. See also Section 1 of this manual.

Inspect finished vent and air piping thoroughly to ensure all are airtight and comply with the instructions provided and with all requirements of applicable codes.

Failure to provide a properly installed vent and air system will cause severe personal injury or death.

The Knight wall mount boiler vent and air piping can be installed through the roof or through a sidewall. Follow the procedures in this manual for the method chosen. Refer to the information in this manual to determine acceptable vent and air piping length.

You may use any of the vent/air piping methods covered in this manual. Do not attempt to install the Knight wall mount boiler using any other means.

You must also install air piping from outside to the boiler air intake adapter unless following the Optional Room Air instructions on page 18 of this manual. The resultant installation is direct vent (sealed combustion).
