On a conventionally vented, negative draft appliance, the connection from the vent to the chimney or vent termination on the outside of the building MUST be made with listed Type “B” double wall (or equivalent) vent connectors and must be direct as possible with no reduction in diameter. Use the National Fuel Gas Code venting tables for double wall vent to properly size all vent connectors and stacks. The Type “B” vent and accessories, such as firestop spacers, thimbles, caps, etc., MUST be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s listing. The vent connector and firestop must provide correct spacing to combustible surfaces and seal to the vent connector on the upper and lower sides of each floor or ceiling through which the vent connector passes.

Any vent materials used must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency for use as vent material.

Locate appliance as close as possible to a chimney or gas vent.

Avoid long horizontal runs of the vent pipe, 90° elbows, reductions and restrictions. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging. Horizontal runs must slope upwards not less than 1/4 inch per foot (21 mm/m) from the appliance to the vent terminal. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not use an existing chimney as a raceway for a flue pipe if another appliance or fireplace is vented through the chimney.

The weight of the venting system must not rest on the appliance. Adequate support of the venting system must be provided in compliance with local codes and other applicable codes. All connections should be secured with rustproof sheet metal screws.

Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected to any portion of a mechanical draft system operating under positive pressure. Connection to a positive pressure chimney may cause flue products to be discharged into the living space causing serious health injury.

Common venting systems may be too large when an existing appliance is removed. At the time of removal of an existing appliance, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

(a)Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.

(b)Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

(c)Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any other appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex- haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

(d)Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.

(e)Test for spillage at the draft hood/relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

(f)After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and other gas burning appliances to their previous conditions of use.

(g)Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so that the installation conforms to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, the latest edition of CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, the latest edition of CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.
