Exhaust Vent Piping Materials

 

·

All Navien boilers are Category IV appliances.

 

·

The venting system should be approved for use with Category IV appliances (typically Type BH 

Special Gas Vent approved by UL 1738-S636).

 

·

Venting requirements in the USA and Canada are different (see below).

* For installation in Canada, field-supplied plastic vent piping must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 (latest 

edition) and be certified to the Standard For Type BH Gas Venting Systems, ULC-S636. Components of this 

listed system must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipes or fittings. All plastic 

components and specified primers and glues of the certified vent system must be from a single system 

manufacturer and must not be intermixed with another system manufacturer’s parts. 

The supplied vent connector and vent termination are certified as part of the boiler.

Min. 2 Amp current with proper 

grounding

 CAUTION

Using abnormally high or low AC 

voltage may cause abnormal operation, 

thereby causing fire which reduces the 

life expectancy of this product.

 CAUTION

Disconnect the power to 

the boiler before installing 

any wire connections on 

the main PCB. 

Safety

DO NOT touch 

the power
