52 Venting for Combustion Air
Additional Guidelines for Combustion Air
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
The installation of carbon monoxide detectors
may be required in your area for the boiler or
other gas fired appliances. Check applicable
codes for the installation location of the boiler.
Carbon monoxide detectors should comply
with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and
IAS certified.
●
Combustion air piping to the outside is
recommended. (Direct Venting)
●
The boiler may be installed with a single pipe
carrying the flue products to the outside while
using combustion air from the equipment room.
In order to use the room air venting option on
page 58, specific conditions and considerations
must be followed.
WARNING
To prevent death, serious injury, or property
damage:
●
Do not install the boiler or combustion
air piping in areas with contaminated
air(containing a high level of dust, sawdust,
sand, flour, aerosols, fluorine or chlorine
compounds), as contaminants can cause
severe problems.
●
Pool and laundry products and common
household cleaning products can contain
corrosive compounds. If any of the chemicals
or vapors enter the boiler, this can result in
serious product damage that can even cause
the potential for flue gas leakage in extreme
cases.
To prevent the potential of severe personal
injury or death, check for areas and products
listed in the following tables before installing
the boiler or air inlet piping.
If contaminants are found in the combustion
air, you MUST Remove contaminants
permanently or Relocate air inlet and vent
terminations to other clean areas.
●
If you must install the boiler in an area with
contaminated air, use direct venting to
supply clean air from outside the building.
We recommend regular filter cleaning and
maintenance in these areas.
Note
The warranty does not cover damage
caused by air contaminants.
