Vitodens Rigid and Flex Venting Systems Installation
General Rigid Venting Installation
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT
Proximity to damp and salty marine environments directly
influences the service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic
surfaces, such as the casing and fan housing. 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.
When cutting pipes to length, debur and clean pipes.
IMPORTANT
Route vent pipe as directly as possible and with as few
bends as possible to the boiler.
Check proper location of gaskets in rigid PP(s) pipe
collars. (Only use supplied parts with the polypropylene
venting
system.)
Apply water to lubricate the joint ends of the vent pipe
collar and if used, the air intake pipe collar.
Slide pipes into each other with a gentle twisting motion.
Condensate must drain from the flue pipe to the boiler.
Ensure a suitable gradient of at least 3º [approx. 2 in.
per 3.3 ft. (50 mm per 1 m)].
Use a hacksaw or sheet metal snips (for stainless steel)
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.
