b.
Minimum three (3) feet above any
forced air inlet located within ten (10)
feet of the vent termination.
c.
Minimum four (4) feet below, four (4)
feet horizontally or one (1) foot above
any door, window or gravity air inlet.
d.
Minimum four (4) feet horizontally
from electric meters, gas meters,
regulators and relief valves. This
distance may be reduced if equipment
is protected from damage due to
condensate or vapor by enclosure,
overhangs, etc.
16.
Use appropriately designed thimbles when
passing through combustible walls or
roofs.
17.
Install fire-stops where vent passes
through floors, ceilings or framed walls.
The fire-stop must close the opening
between the vent pipe and the structure.
18.
Enclose vent passing through occupied or
unoccupied spaces above the boiler with
materials having a fire resistance rating at
least equal to the rating of the adjoining
floor or ceiling. Maintain minimum
clearance to combustible materials.
19.
Locate vent terminal above combustion
air intake terminal (if used) and no closer
than (1) foot horizontally.
20.
Vertical venting requires flashing and a
storm collar to prevent moisture from
entering the structure.
21.
Vertical vent termination must be at least
two (2) feet plus the expected snow
accumulation above roof penetration
height.
22.
This boiler has been certified with AL29-

venting. Select a vent material that is
approved for use with condensing flue
gasses.
23.
Install vent system before installing air
intake, water, gas or electrical connections.
24.
For instances where the vent system
manufacturer’s instructions do not make a
specification, refer to the below points.
a.
Make sure pipe and fittings are clean
by swabbing with alcohol. Use Dow
Corning 736 or 732 RTV, Polybar #
500 RTV or Sil-Bond 4500 or 6500 or
seal vent pipe.
b.
Refer to the appropriate drawings in
Appendix C of this manual to
determine common acceptable
configurations of the vent system.
WARNING
Improper venting may result in property
damage and the release of flue gasses that
contain deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
into the building, which can cause severe
personal injury and/ or death.
WARNING
Do not use a barometric damper with this
boiler. This is a positive pressure system.
The use of a barometric damper may
cause flue gases to leak into the boiler
room.
