Table 1A Corrosive Contaminants and Sources
⚠WARNING If the boiler combustion air inlet is located
in any area likely to cause contamination,
or if products which would contaminate
the air cannot be removed, you must have
the combustion air and vent re-piped
and terminated to another location.
Contaminated combustion air will damage
the boiler, resulting in possible severe
personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Pool and laundry products and common household
and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine
compounds. When these chemicals pass through the boiler,
they can form strong acids. The acid can eat through the
boiler wall, causing serious damage and presenting a possible
threat of flue gas spillage or boiler water leakage into the
building.
Please read the information listed in Table 1A. If
contaminating chemicals will be present near the location of
the boiler combustion air inlet, have your installer pipe the
