APPLICATION NOTICE !
Install vent pipe components per
manufacturer's instructions. Observe the
listed maximum diameters of vent system,
which are boiler model dependent. Use
only 3" or 4“ (4“ for model /62 only)
stainless steel (AL29-4C) components
(e.g. 37/44 kW = 3“) for exhaust vent
piping as listed in the above table
(Table 5).
Use only 4" flexible or 4" galvanized rigid
pipe for combustion air intake piping.
The exhaust and intake air piping
components are available from your local
wholesaler. Make sure to use matching
components.
NOTICE!
OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS !
due to strong winds.
The boiler will cease to operate under
strong winds when no termination tee is
installed at the end of the venting system.
zNote that a termination tee MUST
always be installed at the end of every
horizontal venting system.
zPurchase the suitable termination tee
together with your selected vent pipe
manufacturer for best fit.

zInsert the vent pipe into the terminal body far enough
so that distance between the termination tee and the
wall is about 10" (Fig. 10).
zSecure both ends of the exhaust pipe through the
terminal body using the furnished locking collars.
(Fig. 10, Item. 1). Rotate collars downward and
secure set screw on locking collars (Fig. 11, Item. 2).
zSeal the space between vent pipe and locking collars
with silicone (Fig. 11, Item. 1).
A venting system that exits the structure through a
sidewall or the like, shall terminate at least 12 inches
above the ground.
The installation of a screened termination tee is
required to ensure trouble free operation and prevent
entry of foreign objects into the vent system.
The termination of the system shall be located at least
12 inches above the maximum snow line in geographic
areas where snow accumulates.
No changes or modifications are allowed in the venting
system. All components must be installed in their
original condition.
The termination shall not terminate less than 7 ft above
a paved sidewalk or driveway.
The termination shall be at least 6 ft away from the
combustion air intake of any other appliance.
Room air only:
The termination shall be at least 3 ft away from gas utility
meter, service regulator or the like (for room air
applications only).
The termination shall terminate at least 4 ft below, 4 ft
horizontally from, or 1 ft above any door, window, or
gravity air inlet into any building.

10.2 Installation of Vertical Venting System
Follow all instructions concerning assembly of the
individual venting components. Follow in particular the
instructions furnished by the vent pipe manufacturer.
The combustion air is ducted in using a concentric 6" or
7“ pipe configuration in a vertical venting application
Fig. 12.
Observe the vent extension above the roof line as
shown in Fig. 12.
The maximum length of the concentric "through the roof"
venting is 10 ft. (see Fig. 12).
Observe the maximum length of the entire vent system
including the concentric piping based on Table 7,
page 24 to Table 9, page 25.
The concentric piping permits a zero clearance to
combustibles. Note, however, that the exhaust vent
pipe leading up to the concentric piping requires a 2"
minimum clearance to combustibles.
Install fire stop plates when penetrating the roof (Fig. 12,
Item. 2).
