condensation.
3C. Vertical Venting - Category I
(JVS and JVH)
All venting must comply with fuel gas code and
be installed by a licensed professional.
The Mini-Therm JVS or JVH series boiler can
be vented into a masonry chimney, (see Figure 2)
provided several conditions are met:
1. The chimney must have an appropriate tile lining
that is clean, properly constructed and properly
sized.
2. The chimney passage way shall be examined to
ascertain that it is clear and free of obstructions.
WARNING
Do not store any chemical, cleaners, or other
corrosive material near combustion air openings
or in the room. Avoid locating dryer vents in the
vicinity of combustion air openings. Failure to
prevent corrosive materials from mixing with
combustion air can result in reduced boiler life
and unsafe boiler operation.
AVERTISSEMENT
N’entrepposer aucun produit chimique, produit
nettoyant ou produit corrosif à proximité des
bouches d’air de combustion ou dans la pièce.
Éviter de placer des tuyaux de ventilation pour
sécheuse à proximité des bouches d’air de
combustion. Le fait de laisser des maitières
corrosives se mélanger à l’air de combustion
risque de réduire le cycle de vie de l’appareil
de chauffage et de compromettre son
fonctionnement.
3. If a chimney rebuild is required, it shall conform
to nationally recognized standards (see National
Building Code or ANSI/NFPA 211).
4. The boiler must not be connected to a fireplace,
wood stove or other solid fuel burning
equipment.
5. When the boiler and a hot water heater are to be
connected to the same chimney, they must have
their own vent connector and enter the chimney
at least 6” (152mm) apart.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: Always provide a minimum
clearance of 6” (152mm) between Type C (single wall)
vent pipe and any combustible materials.
WARNING
Single wall vent pipe must NEVER pass through
interior walls or through floors or ceilings! Failure
to comply with this warning could result in a fire
causing property damage, personal injury, or death!
AVERTISSEMENT
Paroi simple tuyau d'évent doit jamais passer par
l'intérieur les murs ou par planchers ou plafonds
! Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut
provoquer un incendie causant des dommages
matériels ou corporels, ou de mort!
When installing the vent system, all applicable
national and local codes must be followed! The use
of thimbles, firestops and other protective devices,
when penetrating combustible or noncombustible
construction, must be in accordance with all applicable
national and local codes.
