5.1 Boiler Venting – Category I & II Typical Layouts and Requirements.
Caution & Warning:
Improperly sealed venting system could result in carbon monoxide [CO] poisoning; ensure adequate
support and fastening of the system. Ensure venting can safely exhaust all flue gases outside in an effective manner.
These systems must operate under a negative vent pressure condition that is stable.
Warning & Cautions for Co-Venting:
Co-venting with other appliances shall conform latest ANSI Z223.1 & CAN/CGA 149 installation codes, any
improper operation shall be corrected, the common venting shall be sized according to the appropriate tables in Part II of
the above mentioned codes.
Category I Vent Systems Requirements:
1. Flue gas temperatures above the green line shown in chart A.
2. Approved type of venting for category I appliances.
3. A barometric draft control maybe employed as required, but is not necessary for correct boiler operation. Consult
a chimney-vent specialist for correct application and usage.
4. Breeching and chimney vent sized in accordance to local and national codes or by good engineering methods.
5. Vent safety device equipped on the venting or as equipped on burner.
6. Condensate TEE fitting supplied on the boiler breeching as close as possible and be orientated to avoid
accumulation of flue gas condensation in the boiler or venting is also used to determine flue gas emissions.
Category II Vent Systems Requirements:
1. Flue gas temperatures below the green line shown in chart A.
2. Approved type of venting for category II appliances.
3. A barometric draft control maybe employed as required, but is not necessary for correct boiler operation. Consult
a chimney-vent specialist for correct application and usage.
4. Breeching and chimney vent sized in accordance to local and national codes or by good engineering methods.
5. Vent safety device equipped on the venting or as equipped on burner.
6. Condensate TEE fitting supplied on the boiler breeching as close as possible and be orientated to avoid
accumulation of flue gas condensation in the boiler or venting is also used to determine flue gas emissions.

Caution-Warning:
Flue gas condensation is very aggressive and corrosive which could lead to failure of the venting system or drains, consult local and national codes
regarding flue gas condensation disposal. The P-trap assembly must be properly filled with water to avoid escape of flue gas emissions. The flue gas
condensation may require neutralization prior to entering the drain.
