Vent-air intake system must be properly installed and sealed.
The venting system may be concealed in a chase.
If venting system passes through an unheated space,
such as an attic, it must be insulated. The insulation must
have an R value sufficient to prevent freezing of the
condensate. Armaflex insulation with
b
in. thickness and
higher can be used.
For coaxial venting systems only
Minimum and maximum wall thickness through which the
horizontal vent-air intake termination may be installed:
Minimum: 1 in. (25.4 mm)
Maximum: 19.6 in. (497.8 mm)
For flex venting systems only
Flexible vent pipe may be installed as a liner within a
masonry, metal or factory-built chimney.
CAUTION
Under certain climatic conditions some building
materials may be affected by flue products expelled
in close proximity to unprotected surfaces. Sealing
or shielding of the exposed surfaces with a corrosion
resistant material (e.g. aluminum sheeting) may be
required to prevent staining or deterioration. The
protective material should be attached and sealed (if
necessary) to the building before attaching the vent
termination. It is strongly recommended to install the
vent termination on the leeward side of the building.
WARNING
Failure to ensure that all flue gases have been safely
vented to the outdoors can cause property damage,
severe personal injury, or loss of life. Flue gases may
contain deadly carbon monoxide.
Common Venting
All Vitodens boilers vent under positive pressure and are
Category IV boilers.
Some Vitodens 200-W boilers are approved for common
venting applications. Refer to the chart below to determine
which Vitodens are approved for common venting.
For more information on common venting
refer to the Vitodens Common Venting
Installation Instructions.
