Horizontal Through
the Wall Venting
Venting configurations using inside air for combustion (See Figure B5-50)
These installations utilize the boiler-mounted blower to vent the combustion
products to the outside. Combustion air is obtained from inside the room and the
exhaust vent is installed horizontally through the wall to the exterior of the building.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the boiler room in
accordance with the NFGC/NFPA 54 for the U.S. and in Canada, the latest edition
of CAN/CSA-B149.1 and.2 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment.
