Venting the
Boiler
WARNING: Failure to provide proper venting could
result in death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
Units must be installed with a flue connection and proper
vent to the outside of the building. Safe operation of any
gravity-vented oil-burning equipment requires a
properly operating vent system, correct provision for
combustion air, and regular maintenance and inspection.
The vent system must comply with all local codes and in the event that
local codes do not exist, the vent system must comply with a regional or
national code.
General
Guidelines
for the Vent
System
The requirements for the vent system are dependent on (1) the location of
the boiler within a building and (2) the type of building.
•
If the boiler and the vent system are within the same heated space, single
wall pipe may be used inside the building. The portion of the vent system
outside the building must be a factory-built vent that is approved to
Standard UL 103 or UL 641. See illustration below.
