Vent termination must be at least 1 foot (305 mm) above grade,
anticipated snow line or roof surface (Canada
1-1/2 feet (457 mm) minimum) (
fig. 31 [Y
A
], page 40).
Vent termination must be at least 7 feet (2135 mm) above a public
walkway (
fig. 31 [X
5
], page 40). Ensure that condensate spilling
from the termination does not create a hazard or a nuisance.
Vent termination must be 3 feet (915 mm) above any forced air intake
within 10 feet (3050 mm) (
fig. 31 [1], [Y
B
], page 40).
Do not extend exposed vent pipe outside the building beyond
recommended distance. Condensate could freeze and block vent pipe.
Vent should terminate at least 3 feet (915 mm) away from adjacent
walls, inside corners and 5 feet (1525 mm) below roof overhang
(
fig. 31 [X
2
], [X
4
], page 40).
It is not recommended to terminate vent above any door or window,
condensate can freeze causing ice formations.
Do not use chimney as a raceway if another boiler or fireplace is vented
into or through chimney.
All PVC/CPVC vent pipes must be glued, except for the flue gas adapter-
pipe connection.
All PP/PVC/CPVC combustion air and vent pipe materials and fittings
must comply with the following and must be UL approved venting
material:
For installations in Canada, field supplied [plastic vent piping must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 (latest edition) and be certified to the Standard for
Type BH Gas Venting systems. ULC S636 Components of this listed system shall not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe/fittings.
All plastic components and specified primers and glues of certified vent systems must be from a single manufacturer and not intermingled with other
system manufacturer's vent system parts.
The supplied vent connector and separate available vent termination are certified as a part of the Greenstar Boiler
The exhaust pipe must be properly supported and
pitched a minimum of ¼ inch (6.35 mm) per foot back to
the boiler. This allows the condensate to properly drain.
NOTICE:
Combustion air and vent pipe materials for
KBR42-3A & KWB42-3A.
Heat damage to 2 inch PVC pipes.
▶ KBR42-3A & KWB42-3A appliances combustion air
and vent pipes, use 2 inch CPVC-pipes or 3 inch
pipes.
