1.4.3 Vent Travel

PVC, CPVC or PPs (Rigid Single Wall) piping is the standard venting option; the SL 

14-115 G3 boiler, for example, can be sited up to 100 equivalent feet from the vent 

termination using 2” or up to 240’ using 3”. The actual vent travel allowance is reduced for 

fittings in accordance with 

Table 3

. – e.g. for an SL 14-115 G3 using 6 x 90º CPVC elbows, 

the maximum lineal measure of pipe allowed using 2” pipe is 52 feet (100’ – (6 x 8' = 48) = 

52’). The same boiler using 3” pipe can have up to 192 feet (240’ – (6 x 8’ = 48) = 192’).
For 3” Flexible PPs, up to 45 actual lineal feet are allowed in a nominally vertical 

orientation (>45°). The equivalent length of 3” Flex PPs shall be computed using a multiple 

of 1.2:1, e.g. 45’ x 1.2 = 54’ equiv.  PPs 87-90° elbows are considered to be equivalent to 

8’
.

Table 3: Maximum exhaust venting length. 

Note

: Unused intake travel cannot be added to the exhaust. Unequal intake and exhaust 

piping is allowed (see Section 1.4.8).

Exhaust venting must slope down towards the boiler with a pitch of at least 1/4” per foot 

(PPs vent: follow PPs manufacturer requirements) so condensate runs back towards the 

trap. Support should be provided for intake and vent piping, particularly so for horizontal 

runs (follow local code). Insulate exhaust piping where it passes through unheated spaces 

or underground, with appropriate pipe insulation to prevent freezing of condensates.

Certain installations of the SL models can employ the 2” vent options.

 

We caution 

installers when using horizontal runs of 2” pipe

. Reason: air friction from the fast moving 

exhaust during long burner runs at high-fire in a 2” pipe can overcome gravity on 1/4” / foot 

vent slope – leaving a pool of condensate at the next upturned elbow. Pooling can impair 

the achievement of full high-fire rating plate performance.
Exhaust piping is inserted directly into the 3” female stainless steel fitting on the top, left 

side of the boiler and run horizontally or vertically to the outdoors.  Screen material can be 

placed at the outlet as appropriate for the environment (e.g. insects, dust).

WARNING

Do not mix venting materials 

from different Manufacturers.
These venting materials are 

designed to be installed as part 

of a complete system. 
Failure to comply may result in 

severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

Fully insert the approved venting 

material into the boilers exhaust 

outlet and tighten clamp to ensure 

the venting connection is locked 

in place.
