￿WARNING

NOTICE

Follow instructions below when determining vent location to avoid possibility of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Do not connect any other appliance to the vent pipe or multiple boilers to a common vent pipe. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

Installation must comply with local requirements and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for U.S. installations or CSA B149.1 for Canadian installations.

￿WARNING Rooftop vent and air inlet terminations must terminate in the same pressure zone,

unless vertical vent sidewall air is set up as shown in the General Venting - Vertical Vent, Sidewall Air Section.

Determine location

Locate the vent/air terminations using the following guidelines:

1.

The total length of piping for vent or air must not

 

exceed the limits given in the General Venting section on

 

page 19 of this manual.

2.

The vent must terminate at least 3 feet above the

 

highest place in which the vent penetrates the roof and

 

at least 2 feet above any part of a building within

return pipe no further than 2 feet from the center of the

vent pipe. This placement avoids recirculation of flue

products into the combustion air stream.

4. The vent piping must terminate in an up-turned

coupling as shown in FIG. 5-1A. The top of the

coupling must be at least 1 foot above the air intake.

When the vent termination uses a rain cap as illustrated

in FIG. 5-1B maintain at least 36" (914 mm) above the

air inlet. The air inlet pipe and vent pipe can be located
