Optional PVC vent system installation instructions supplement

O

Th ese instructions are specifi c to using schedule 40 PVC pipe as the 
vent system for the RBI Fusion. Th e instructions contained in the 
Fusion Installation and Operation Manual, including all applicable 
Combustion Air & Ventilation and Venting instructions must be 
followed.

  Venting of the Futera Fusion with PVC material 

requires the factory supplied PVC adapter kit. Th e vent 
system must conform to local codes and/or the latest 
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54. Failure to properly vent this product can 
result in CO poisoning causing severe personal injury 
or death!

  The return water temperature entering the Futera 

Fusion using the PVC venting option must not exceed 
155°F. Higher return water temperatures will result in 
a reduction of the fi ring rate.  

The PVC vent adapter, Figures 1 and 2, comes fitted with a flue 
temperature sensor and flue temperature high limit switch. This 
system provides redundant over-temperature protection for the PVC 
vent system. Th e fl ue temperature sensor continuously monitors the 
temperature of the fl ue gas exiting the Fusion. If the return water 
temperature exceeds 155°F the HeatNet Control, via the flue 
temperature sensor, will recognize the resultant increase in flue 
temperature and reduce the fi ring rate of the Fusion. Should the 
sensor fail, the manual reset high limit switch will trip and shut down 
the Fusion before the fl ue temperature can exceed a safe limit.
