Check Your Chimney

Chimney must be clean, right size, properly constructed

and in GOOD CONDITION.

Installation must conform to requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction or, in absence of such

requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Boiler’s induced draft blower has 3” outlet. 3” X

4” increaser tting is included in parts bag. Locate

increaser tting on outlet of induced draft blower, and

secure gas-tight with bead of furnished silicone sealant.

Increaser tting is required on this boiler for Category I

venting, and 4” is minimum permissible vent diameter.

This does not imply vent connector is intended to be 4”

diameter pipe. Vent connector shall be sized according

to appropriate venting tables in the National Fuel

Gas Code and may be required to be larger than 4”

diameter.

NOTICE

Boiler installation for chimney venting is not

complete unless increaser tting is located and

secured.

These are high efciency boilers with low stack or

exhaust temperature.

Venting into masonry chimney without liner, line

chimney from top to bottom with either:

A. Listed Type B vent pipe

B. Listed exible vent liner

C. Poured ceramic liner.

Outside chimneys should not be used unless they are

(choose one of the following):

A. Enclosed in a chase

B. Lined with Type B vent pipe

C. Use listed exible vent liner

D. Use certied chimney lining system

Vent connector from boiler to chimney should run as

directly as possible with as few elbows as possible.

Where possible, it is recommended to common vent

water heater and boiler. Consult appropriate Vent

Sizing Tables in National Fuel Gas Code for specic

requirements of multiple appliance venting.

Boiler is only appliance connected to vent, Type B vent

pipe is recommended for vent connector.

Slope pipe up from boiler to chimney not less than 1/4”

per foot (21mm/m).

10.

End of vent pipe must be ush with inside face of

chimney ue. Use sealed-in thimble for chimney

connection.

11.

Fasten sections of vent pipe with sheet metal screws to

make piping rigid. Use stovepipe wires to support pipe

from above.

12.

Do not connect to replace ue.

13.

Do not install damper on this boiler.

Minimum Vent Pipe Clearance

• Use Type B vent pipe through crawl space. Where vent

pipe passes through combustible wall or partition, use

ventilated metal thimble. Thimble should be 4 inches

larger in diameter than vent pipe.

• Boiler installed with single wall vent, must have 6”

clearance between its surface and any combustible

material. New Type B gas vent or exible liner must be

installed in accordance with instructions furnished with

vent. Maintain clearances as specied for vent pipe.

• Verify vent pipe is re-stopped where it goes through

oor or ceiling. It should have approved vent cap with

clearances from roof. If clearances are less than shown,

have vent checked by local authorities. Figure 7, Page 11.

• Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural

draft shall not be connected into any portion of

mechanical draft systems operating under positive

pressure.
