E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR VENT
Vents must be properly supported. The boiler intake and exhaust connections are not designed to carry heavy
weight. Vent support brackets must be within 1’ of the boiler and the balance at 4’ intervals. Venting must be
readily accessible for visual inspection for the first 3’ from the boiler.
The boiler is rated ANSI Z21.13 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to form condensate in the vent), and
requires a special vent system designed for pressurized venting.
You must also install air intake piping from outdoors to the boiler flue adaptor. The resultant installation is
categorized as direct vent (sealed combustion).
NOTE:
To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 1 in
this section when considering exhaust vent and intake air vent termination.
Intake and exhaust vents must terminate near each other and may be vented vertically through the roof or out a
side wall. Intake and exhaust venting methods are detailed in the Venting Section. Do not attempt installation
using any other means. Be sure to locate the boiler so intake and exhaust vent piping can be routed through the
building and properly terminated. The air intake and exhaust vent piping lengths, routing and termination method
must all comply with methods and limits given in the venting section.
F. PREVENT COMBUSTION AIR CONTAMINATION
Install intake piping for the boiler as described in the Venting section. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that
can allow contamination of intake air.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below. For example, do not pipe intake vent
near a swimming pool. Avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas always contain
contaminants. Contaminated air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
