VENTING
GENERAL- A PELLET/CORN FIRED UNIT SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A FLUE HAVING
SUFFICIENT DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION.
1.
Only a trained experienced serviceman should attempt the installation or
service of any boiler and or venting device. All venting installations must
comply with the recommendations of the venting manufacturer and with all
state and local codes. Only use listed PL type venting with an inside diameter of
4 inches. Warning, used chimney venting must be clean and in good condition.
2.
All joints must be securely locked together, caulked with high temperature
silicone and fastened with at least 3 screws. This will prevent leakage and
future disassembly.
3.
PL Vent must be supported from the structure by means of metal or other non-
combustible supports; horizontal pipes shall be supported at intervals not
exceeding 3 ft (1 m), exterior vertical pipes shall be supported at intervals not
exceeding 6ft (2 m).
4.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM
OF THIS UNIT; and DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
BOILER DAMPER CONTROLS
Damper operation
The damper is a plate that helps control the amount of airflow supplied for proper
combustion. With the damper pushed all the way in the airflow is at its minimum. As
the damper is pulled out, more air is allowed to flow.
It will be necessary to monitor the appearance of the flame during the first 4-8 bags
of fuel. If your flame is smoky red/orange with evidence of soot at the top of the
flame, you need more combustion air, pull the damper out ¼ inch and re-evaluate the
appearance of the flame. It may be necessary to repeat this process, moving the
damper ¼ inch at a time until proper combustion is attained (the flame should
become yellow and begin to “dance”). Tighten the damper lock down bolt and monitor
flame to maintain proper combustion.
Symptoms of insufficient combustion air include unburned fuel, lazy smoky
or red/orange flame, excessive ash or soot, excessive build-up on glass.
Symptom of excessive combustion air include fuel burns to quickly (smoking
or smouldering pellets), white to yellow flame.
