4.  Locate boiler at least ten feet from building air intake. 

 

5.  Avoid installation in areas where runoff from adjacent building can spill onto boiler. 

 

7.2 

 SIDEWALL VENTING  

 

When fitted with the factory supplied vent terminal, the MicoFlame series 2 can vent up to 60 
equivalent feet. Elbows can range from 8 to 15 feet in equivalent length depending on centreline 
radius. See Table 1 for vent sizes. 
 
Boilers may be installed with either a horizontal sidewall vent or vertical roof top terminal. 
Terminals differ with each application. Horizontal lengths over 5 feet must be installed using 
corrosion resistant stainless steel. Use single wall vent and seal all joints or use pressure rated 
double wall vent. 
 
Refer to local codes for proper installation and location of vent terminals. 
 
When using sidewall vent, all vent connector seams and joints must be sealed with pressure 
sensitive aluminium tape or silicone sealant as specified by the vent manufacturer. Aluminium 
tape must meet the provisions of SMACNA AFTS-100-73 Standard. 
 
When venting through unheated spaces with single wall vent, insulation should be wrapped 
around the vent pipe to prevent flue gas condensation inside the vent. 
 
Periodically check to ensure that the vent terminal is unobstructed. 
 

7.3 

 OUTDOOR AIR KIT  

 
When fitted with the factory supplied air inlet ring and air intake terminal, the MicoFlame series 2 
can draw outdoor air over an equivalent length of 60 feet. See Table 1 for vent sizes. 
 
Boilers may be installed with either a horizontal sidewall vent or vertical roof top terminal. 
Terminals differ with each application. 
 
The following applies to outdoor air installations: 
 

1.  Use only factory supplied air intake terminal. 

 

2.  Periodically check to ensure that air intake is not obstructed. 

 

3.  Refer to local codes for proper installation and location of vent terminals. Vertical vent 

terminal must be at least 3 feet above the highest point where it is located above the roof 
of a building and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a horizontal 
distance of ten feet 

 

4.  Locate the air intake five feet away from the vent discharge. For sidewall venting locate 

the air intake below the vent outlet if possible.
