7. Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways, or parking lots. Condensate could drip and freeze, resulting in a slip hazard or
damage to vehicles and machinery.
8. Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may not be the preferred venting option. To save time and cost, carefully
consider venting installation and location.
9. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards the appliance not less than ¼" per foot to allow condensate to drain from
the vent pipe.
10. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage shrubs or plants.
11. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings.
12. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent sagging of the pipe where
condensate may form.
13. Do not use the appliance to support any piping.
14. Ensure the outdoor exhaust vent termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.
15. Ensure the outdoor intake pipe termination is screened to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.
H. BOILER REMOVAL FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
When removing an existing boiler, the following steps must be followed.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage, corrosion or other
deficiencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the common venting system and other spaces in the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all fireplace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or
smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
NOTE:
For Canadian Installations, it is required that Non Metallic Vent Installations conform to ULC S636. Where plastic venting is not
allowed, HTP recommends AL294C Stainless Steel Venting be used for Exhaust venting installation
s and “B” vent for intake air.
I. VENTING DRAWINGS
1. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the appliance intake, and exhaust must
terminate outside. There are three basic direct vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2. Roof Venting, and 3.
Unbalanced Venting.
Be sure to locate the appliance such that the exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Different vent terminals can be used to simplify and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure (see Optional
Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust vent and intake piping lengths, routing and termination methods must all comply with the
methods and limits given in the Venting section of this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air.
NOTE: To
prevent combustion air contamination, see
Table 1.
