Table 1A Corrosive Contaminants and Sources
When removing a boiler from existing
common vent system:
Do not install the Knight boiler into a
common vent with any other appliance.
This will cause flue gas spillage or
appliance malfunction, resulting in
possible severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
Failure to follow all instructions can result
in flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions, causing severe personal injury
or death.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following
steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system placed in
operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to
the common venting system are not in operation.
a. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
b. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies,
which could cause an unsafe condition.
c. Test vent system – Insofar as is practical, close all building
doors and windows and all doors between the space in
which the appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are located and other spaces of
the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance
not connected to the common venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom
exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
d. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow
the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance
will operate continuously.
e. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
f. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined herein, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers, and any
other gas-burning appliance to their previous conditions
of use.
g. Any improper operation of the common venting system
should be corrected so the installation conforms with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or
CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code. When resizing any portion of the common venting
system, the common venting system should be resized to
approach the minimum size as determined using the
appropriate tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA and/or CAN/CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
