21 Installing the System Piping
Air Vent
The Navien NFB boiler comes with an air vent and an adapter
bushing that must be connected to the air vent connection. The
vent efficiently removes the air from the space heating system.
The following figure illustrates an example of a typical air vent
installation.
Note
Install the pressure relief valve onto the adapter before
the air vent. The pressure relief valve may interfere with
the air vent if not installed first.
