– venting systems - see page 23

– combustion and ventilation air supply - see

“Provide combustion and ventilation air

supply openings” below

• Check area around boiler for and remove any

combustible materials, gasoline and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

Failure to keep boiler area clear and free of

combustible materials, gasoline and other

flammable liquids and vapors can result in severe

personal injury, death and substantial property

damage.

Provide combustion and ventilation

air openings:

Do not install an exhaust fan in boiler room.

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be

provided to assure proper combustion and

prevent possibility of flue gas leakage and carbon

monoxide emissions, causing severe personal

injury or death.

Opening sizes must comply with state, provincial

or local codes. In their absence, use the following

when boiler is in a confined room:

• Provide two permanent openings in boiler

room - one within 12 inches of ceiling, one

within 12 inches of floor. Minimum dimension

of each opening - 3 inches.

- When all air is taken from within building,

each opening should be at least one square

inch/1,000 Btuh boiler input and freely

connect with areas having adequate

infiltration from outside

- When all air is taken from outdoors, each

opening should connect directly or by ducts

from outdoors or crawl or attic spaces that

freely connect with outdoors and sized as

listed below:

- through outside wall or vertical ducts - at

least one square inch/ ,000 Btuh boiler

input

- through horizontal ducts - at least one

square inch/2,000 Btuh boiler input

- where ducts are used, they should be same

cross-sectional area as free area of

openings they are connected to

- compensate for louver, grille or screen

blockage when calculating free air

openings. Refer to their manufacturer’s

instructions for size. If unknown, use:

- wood louvers - 20-25% free air

- metal louvers or grilles - 60-75% free air

- screens - not less than 1/ inch mesh

Lock louvers in open position, or interlock

with equipment to prove open before

assembly. See Figure 9:

a. Lay hood on floor with flanged side up.

b. Wipe flanged surface with clean rag to

remove dirt and oil.

c. Apply double-faced tape to flanged surface.

d. Apply rope to tape beginning on one side of

open end of hood, leaving 1/ " extending

past edge. Around corners, bend rope, do not

cut. Do not stretch rope.

Do not pre-cut rope. Gas-tight

seal must be maintained to

prevent possible flue gas leakage

and carbon monoxide emissions,

resulting in severe personal

injury or death.

e. Continue around entire flange. At other open

end, leave 1/ " rope extending past edge of

flange. Cut off excess rope.

Double-faced tape serves only to
