The air inlet and exhaust components installed with this boiler must be used for near boiler piping
BEFORE transitioning to the approved materials listed above. DO NOT REMOVE these installed
components. Doing so WILL VOID appliance warranty.
PVC/CPVC pipe and fittings of the same diameter are considered interchangeable. CPVC pipe is rated
for higher temperature applications, and is more expensive than PVC. To save installation cost, it is
recommended to use CPVC for high temperature applications ONLY.
Do NOT use Foam Core Pipe in any portion of the exhaust piping from this boiler.
DO NOT connect PVC/CPVC to PP without an approved vent connector.
When installing AL29-4C vent piping, install a PVC-to-stainless adapter at the boiler vent connection, and
at the termination when using an HTP PVC termination kit. DO NOT mix AL-29-4C piping from different
manufacturers unless using adapters specifically designed for the purpose by the manufacturer.
Failure to follow these directions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Table 8 - NOTES:
1. Air inlet piping does not require high temperature pipe material. Check applicable local codes for acceptable materials.
2. UL S636 PVC is approved for flue gas temperatures up to 149
o
F (65
o
C) and must only be used for low temperature
applications. High temperature applications requiring appliance supply water temperatures greater than 140
o
F (60
o
C) must use
ULC S636 CPVC, PP, or AL29-4C stainless steel.
DO NOT mix components from different venting systems. The vent system could fail, causing leakage of flue
products into the living space. Use only the approved pipe and fitting materials, and primer and cement
specifically designed for the material used, as listed in Table 9. Failure to do so could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
Exhaust vent adaptors are not designed as load-bearing devices, and must not be used to support exhaust vent
piping. All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of ¼” per
foot back to the appliance to allow drainage of condensate. Failure to properly support vent piping and follow the
information in this statement could result in product damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE:
The use of double-wall vent or insulated material for the combustion air inlet pipe is recommended in cold
climates to prevent the condensation of airborne moisture in the incoming combustion air.
