COMMON VENT SYSTEMS

If an existing boiler/water heater is removed from a 

common venting system, the common venting system 

may then be too large for the proper venting of the 

remaining appliances connected to it. At the time of 

removal of an existing boiler/water heater, the following 

steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining 

connected to the common venting system placed in 

operation, while the other appliances remaining 

connected to the common venting system are not in 

operation.

Au  moment  du  retrait  d’une  chaudière  existante,  les 

mesures suivantes doivent être prises pour chaque 

appareil  toujours  raccordé  au  système  d’évacuation 

commun et qui fonctionne alors que d’autres appareils 

toujours raccordés au système d’évacuation ne fonction-

nent pas: système d’évacuation

a)   Seal any unused openings in the common venting 

system.

 

Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du sys-

tème d’évacuation.

b)   Visually inspect the venting system for proper size 

and horizontal pitch and determine there is no 

blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other 

deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

 

Inspecter de façon visuelle le système d’évacu-ation 

pour  déterminer  la  grosser  et  l’inclinaison 

horizontale  qui  conviennent  et  s’assurer  que  le 

système est exempt d’obstruction, d’étranglement 

de fruite, de corrosion et autres défaillances qui 

pourraient présenter des risques.

c)   Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and 

windows and all doors between the space in which 

the appliances remaining connected to the common 

venting system are located and other spaces of the 

building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance 

not connected to the common venting system. Turn 

on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and 

bathroom exhaust, so they will operate at maximum 

speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan for a 

boiler installation. Close fireplace dampers.

  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 du 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  commun  et  tous  les 

ventilateurs  d’extraction  comme  les  hottes  de 

cuisinère  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.

d)   Place in operation the appliance being inspected. 

Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat 

so appliance will operate continuously.

 

Mettre  l’appareil  inspecté  en  marche.  Suivre  les 

instructions  d’allumage.  Régler  le  thermostat  de 

façon que l’appareil fonctionne de façon continue.

e)   Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 

5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame 

of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette,   

cigar or pipe. 

 

 

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 

allunette ou d'une chandelle ou la fumée d'une 

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

f)   After it has been determined that each appliance 

remaining connected to the common venting system 

properly vents when tested as outlined above, 

return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace 

dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to 

their previous condition of use.

 

Une  fois  qu’il  a  été  d  éterminé,  selon  la  métode 

indiquée ci-dessus, que chaque appareil raccordé 

au système d’évacuation est mis à l’air libre de façor 

adéquate.  Remettre les portes et les fenêtres, les 

ventilateurs, les registres de cheminées et les 

appareils au gaz à leur position originale.

g)   Any improper operation of the common venting 

system should be corrected so the installation 

conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54. 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 

Part 11 in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54 and or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation 

Codes.

 

Tout mauvais fonctionnement du systéme d'évacu-

tion commun devrait étré corrigé de façor que 

l'installation soit conforme au National Fue Gas 

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

d'installation CSA-B149. Si la grosseur d'une 

section du système d'évacuation doit étré modifiée, 

le système devrait étré 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) des codes d'installation 

CSA-B149.
