Figure 4-7 Venting Below Grade
For installations that exit the wall below grade:
1.
Excavate site to a point below where the pipes
are to exit as shown.
2.
Ensure the wall is fully sealed where the pipes
penetrate.
3.
The Vent/Air-inlet piping MUST be secured to
the side of the building above grade, as shown,
to provide rigidity.
4.
Optional mounting bracket PN. 82075 for
securing the exhaust pipes (only applicable for
3” PVC/CPVC venting).
5.
Ensure that the Vent/Air-inlet clearances are
maintained, see Section 5.0 for details.
Figure 4-8 Outdoor Horizontal Venting
Vent piping outside the Building is permitted under
the following conditions:
1.
The maximum length outside the building is 20
feet [6.1 m]. Note that outdoor length must be
included in the overall vent length calculation.
2.
All normal termination clearances are maintained.
3.
The pipe is supported every 24” [610 mm].
4.
The exhaust and inlet are sloped back to the boiler
½” elevation for every linear foot [13 mm for
every linear 305 mm].
Figure 4-9 Existing Chimney Chase Way
It is permissible to use an existing chimney as a chase
way to run the Vent/Air-inlet piping as long as:
1.
The chimney is not being used by any other
boiler.
2.
Flue gases don’t enter the vacant chimney.
3.
Only Trinity certified venting materials are used,
see Section 4.0.
4.
Vent lengths are within the maximums specified.
5.
The top of the chimney is capped and the
Vent/Air-inlet pipes are flashed to prevent
leakage into the vacant chimney.
