The flue pipe should have an upward pitch
toward the chimney of at least 1/4” per foot of
length. It should fit tightly and should not project
into the chimney.
Any leakage between tiles, around clean-out
doors, or around the vent pipe should be sealed.
INSULATED STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINERS
The new designs of high efficiency oil furnaces
and boilers in conjunction with flame retention oil
burners are more efficient. One result of increased
efficiency is lower flue gas temperatures. As
flue gases rise in the chimney, they will cool and
condense when they reach the dew point. The
condensation will mix with the sulphur in the flue
gases creating sulphuric acid. The acid will attack
the chimney mortar, brick and clay liners caus-
ing corrosion, deterioration and blockage of the
chimney. Eventually the blockage could prevent
exhausting the flue gases. Instead, the flue gases
could vent out the barometric damper into the liv-
ing space.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that an ap-
proved insulated stainless steel liner be installed.
For those installations not requiring a chimney,
such as through-the-wall vented appliances, follow
the instructions given by the appliance and power
venter (if used) manufacturers.

closure. The openings should have free access to
the building interior, which should have adequate
infiltration from the outside.
Exhaust fans and other air-using devices
Size air openings large enough to supply all air-
using devices in addition to the minimum size
required for combustion air. If there is any possibil-
ity of the equipment room developing a negative
pressure due to exhaust fans, clothes dryers, etc.,
either pipe combustion air directly to the burner or
provide a sealed enclosure for the burner and sup-
ply it with its own combustion air supply.
Direct Air Supply and Side Wall Venting
Appliances located in confined spaces
All confined spaces should have two (2) perma-
nent openings; one near the top of the enclosure
and one near the bottom of the enclosure. Each
opening must have a free area of not less than
one (1) square inch per 1,000 BTU’s per hour of
the total input rating of all appliances within the en-
Connect Outside Air Duct
to NX Adapter
The outside air adapter must be installed by strictly
following the kit installation instructions.
DO NOT attempt to install outside air piping without
using the outside air adapter and instructions pro-
vided.
Abundant fresh air is required for proper combus-
tion.

WARNING
!
The burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not
supplied with a reliable combustion air source.
Follow the guidelines in the latest editions of the
NFPA 31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing ad-
equate air for combustion and ventilation.

Failure to provide adequate air supply could se-

WARNING
!
When retrofitting appliances that have unlined
stainless steel combustion chambers, protect the
chamber by lining the inside surfaces with a ce-
ramic fiber blanket, such as a wet-pac or other
suitable refractory material.
Some steel chambers may not require liners be-
cause the appliance was designed and tested
for use with flame retention burners. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Failure to comply could result in damage to the
heating equipment and result in fire or asphyxi-
ation hazards.

For direct vent installations, follow instructions
provided with appliance and direct vent system.
Outside combustion air is required for direct vent-
ing.
When installing an NX outside air adapter (Beckett
Part Number 1014U), refer to the instruction sheet
supplied with the adapter. This kit allows combus-
tion air to be piped directly to the burner. The NX
outside air adapter kit may also be used for chim-
ney vent applications that require outside combus-
tion air.
