Installation steps (outline)
Boiler operation in marine environments
(damp, salty coastal areas):
The service life of the boiler’s exposed
metallic surfaces, such as the casing
and fan housing, is directly influenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine
environments. In such areas, higher
concentration levels of chlorides from
sea spray, coupled with relative
humidity, can lead to degradation of
the exposed metallic surfaces
mentioned above. Therefore, it is
imperative that boilers installed in such
environments not be installed using
direct vent systems which draw
outdoor air for combustion. Such
boilers must be installed using room air
dependent vent systems; i.e. using
room air for combustion. The indoor air
will have a much lower relative
humidity and, hence, the corrosion will
be minimized.
H
Route vent pipe as directly as
possible and with as few bends as
possible to the boiler.
H
Check proper location of gaskets in
all coaxial pipe collars.
(Only use supplied parts with the
polypropylene venting system.)
Apply moderate amount of supplied
lubricant to slip joint ends of vent and
air intake pipe collars.
H
Slide pipes into each other with a
gentle twisting motion.
H
Condensate must drain from the flue
pipe to the boiler. Ensure a suitable
gradient of at least 3º (approx. 2” per
3.3 ft. / 50 mm per 1 m).
H
Use a hacksaw and sheet metal snips
to cut pipes to length (if necessary).
Use a file to smooth rough edges.
Pipe must be round and not bent into
an oval shape.
When cutting pipes to length, debur
and clean pipes.
H
For stainless steel and CPVC venting
systems
:
In conjunction with these
instructions, follow the installation
instructions supplied by the special
venting manufacturer.
Viessmann Venting System
Instructions supersede the
instructions supplied by the
manufacturer.
Ensure that the entire venting
system is protected from physical
damages. A damaged venting
system may cause unsafe
conditions.
WARNING
The venting system is approved for
indoor installations only.
Do not install the venting system
outdoors.
