VENTING INSTALLATION STANDARDS
MATERIAL UNITED STATES CANADA
Stainless Steel UL 1738 Venting must be ULC-S636 certified for use as
PVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM D1785
venting material. The venting material must be chosen
CPVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM F441
based upon the intended application of the boiler.
Polypropylene UL1738 or ULC-S636
4.4 Venting (Exhaust)
The flue temperature of the Mascot FT changes
dramatically with changes in operating water
temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the
application of the boiler to determine the required
certified vent class. If the Mascot FT is installed
in an application where the ambient temperature
is elevated, and/or installed in a closet/alcove,
CPVC, polypropylene, or stainless steel material is
required. If the system temperatures are unknown at
the time of installation, stainless, polypropylene or
CPVC material is recommended.
The Mascot FT is a Category IV appliance and may
be installed with PVC, CPVC or polypropylene that
complies with ULC-S636, ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441
(see Table 3) or a stainless steel venting system that
complies with UL 1738 Standard and ULC S636.
WARNING
Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core
CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) in venting
systems shall be prohibited.
WARNING
Failure to use the appropriate vent material, installation
techniques, glues/sealants could lead to vent failure
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
All venting must be installed according to this manual
and any other applicable local codes, including but not
limited to, ANSI Z224.1/NFPA 54, CAN/CSA B149.1
and ULC-S636. Failure to follow this manual and
applicable codes may lead to property damage, severe
injury, or death.
___________________________________________
WARNING
Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core
CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) in non-metallic
venting systems is prohibited and that covering non-
metallic vent pipe and fittings with thermal insulation is
prohibited.
__________________________________________
INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA require the use of
venting material certified to ULCS636. All Gas
vents connected to the Mascot FT, plastic, stainless
steel or otherwise must be certified to this ULC
standard. Appropriate selection of vent material is
very important for proper performance and safe
operation of the Mascot FT.
The flue temperature of the Mascot FT changes
dramatically with changes in operating water
temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess
the application of the boiler to determine the
required certified vent class. If the Mascot FT is
installed in an application where the outlet water
temperature exceeds 145°F, and/or installed in a
closet, class IIB or higher vent material is required.
If the system temperatures are unknown at the time
of installation, class IIB or higher venting material
is recommended.
IN CANADA all venting used must meet the
following requirements:
1. ULC-S636 certified and marked
2. The first 3 feet of venting must be accessible
for visual inspection.
3. All components used in the vent system must
be from a certified manufacturer.
4 . Vent system components must not be mixed
NOTICE
DO NOT COMMON VENT MASCOT FT UNITS.
Mascot FT units are never permitted to share a
vent with Category I appliances.
AVIS
NE PAS ÉVENT COMMUNE MASCOTTE FT UNITÉS.
Mascotte FT unités ne sont jamais autorisés à
partager un évent Catégorie I avec les appareils.
