•
Maximum vent lengths based on equivalent straight
runs only. Include rigid pipe and fittings in overall
equivalent length calculations.
•
Flexible venting installations use single wall
polypropylene to pass flue gasses to base of chimney,
then flexible venting to get them to termination at the
top.
•
Combustion air is not supplied through masonry
chimney. Combustion air must be from outside using 3"
[80 mm] single wall polypropylene.
•
Position boiler to use minimum of rigid single wall
polypropylene venting to the chimney.
•
Follow venting manufacturer's instructions on assembly
and clearances to maintain.
•
Avoid sharp bends in flexible venting.
