appliance to their previous conditions of use.

7.  Any improper operation of the common venting 

system should be corrected so that the installation 

conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, 

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, 

Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes. 

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 F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural 

Gas and Propane Installation Codes.

2.4  Vérification des évents communs — 

Chaudières

Lorsqu’une chaudière existante est déconnectée 

du réseau d’évents commun, ce réseau d’évents 

commun devient probablement trop grand pour 

les appareils qui lui restent connectés. Lorsqu’une 

chaudière existante est retirée, les étapes suivantes 

doivent être accomplies pour chaque appareil qui 

reste connecté au réseau d’évents commun utilisé, 

alors que les autres appareils qui sont encore 

connectés au réseau commun d’évents ne sont pas en 

fonctionnement.:

1.  Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du 

système d'évacuation.

2.  Inspecter de façon visuelle le système 

d'évacuation pour déterminer la grosseur et 

l'inclinaison horizontale qui conviennent et 

s'assurer que le système est exempt d'obstruction, 

d'étranglement, de fuite, de corrosion et autres 

défaillances qui pourraient présenter des risques.

3.  Dans la mesure du possible, fermer toutes les 

portes et les fenêtres du bâtiment et toutes les 

portes entre l'espace où les appareils toujours 

raccordés au système d'évacuation sont installés 

et les autres espaces du bâtiment. Mettre en 

marche les sécheuses, tous les appareils non 

raccordés au système d'évacuation common 

et tous les ventilateurs d'extraction comme 

les hottes de cuisinière et les ventilateurs des 

salles de bain. S'assurer que ces ventilateurs 

fonctionnent à la vitesse maximale. Ne pas faire 

fonctionner les ventilateurs d'été. Fermer les 

registres des cheminées.

4.  Mettre l'appareil inspecté en marche. Suivre les 

instructions d'allumage. Réegler le thermostat de 

façon continue.

5.  Faire fonctionner le brûleur principal pendant 

5 min ensuite, déterminer si le coupe-tirage 

déborde à l'ouverture de décharge. Utiliser la 

flamme d'une allumette ou d'une chandelle ou la 

fumée d'une cigarette, d'un cigare ou d'une pipe.

6.  Une fois qu'il a été déterminé, selon la méthode 

indiquée ci-dessus, que chaque appareil 

raccordé au système d'évacuation est mis à l'air 

libre de façon adéquate. Remettre les portes 

et les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres de 

cheminées et les appareils au gaz à leur position 

originale.

7.  Tout mauvais fonctionnement du système 

d'évacuation commun devrait être corrigé 

de façon que l'installation soit conforme au 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 

54 et (ou) aux codes d'installation CSA-B149.1. 

Si la grosseur d'une section du système devrait 

être modifié, le système devrait être modifié pour 

respecter les valeurs minimales des tableaux 

pertinents de l'appendice F du National Fuel Gas 

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) les codes 

d'installation CSA-B149.1

2.5  Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units

For outdoor applications, the vent and 

combustion air openings must be covered with proper 

terminals to prevent rain, snow and other objects from 

falling into the Mighty Stack.

Outdoor Vent / Air kit part numbers are shown in 

Table 6.

 These kits contain parts for both combustion 

air inlet and exhaust vent connections. An angled sheet 

metal assembly with louvers replaces the sheet metal 

assembly with the air collar. An adapter, a 12" (30cm)

length of pipe, and a rain cap are included for the 

exhaust vent opening.

If local codes allow, Laars kits are not required 

for outdoor units. The installer may use 12" (30cm) of 

appropriately sized galvanized single wall or b-type 

vent pipe and a rain cap for the exhaust vent. In 

addition, an appropriately sized galvanized 90° elbow, 

positioned with the opening facing down, may be used 

on the combustion air inlet.
