3.7 Vent and Combustion Air Piping
This boiler requires a special vent system, designed for pressurized venting.
The boiler is to be configured for either direct vent installation or for installation using room
combustion air. When room combustion air is considered, see Section 3.16.
Vent and air may be vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall, unless otherwise
specified. You may use any of the vent/air piping methods covered in Section 3.16.
Be sure to locate the unit such that the vent and air piping can be routed through the building
and properly terminated.
The vent/air piping lengths, routing and termination method must all comply with the methods
and limits given in Section 3.16.
3.8 Prevention of Combustion Air Contamination
Install air inlet piping for the appliance as described in Section 3.16. Do not terminate vent/air in
locations that can allow contamination of combustion air.
WARNING!
Ensure that the combustion air will not contain any contaminants.
Contaminated combustion air will damage the unit, resulting in
possible personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
3.9 Transporting the Unit
WARNING!
Always lift and carry the unit with a hand truck or special
equipment. Failure to comply with these provisions could result in
severe personal injury, death, or property damage.
• Only transport the unit using the right transportation equipment, such as a hand truck
with a fastening belt or special equipment for maneuvering steps.
• During transportation the unit must be secured on the transportation equipment to
prevent it from falling off.
• Protect all parts against impacts during transport.
• Observe the transportation markings on the packaging.
• Leave the protective covers on the connections until ready to install.
• During transportation, cover the flue gas and air intake connections at the top of the unit
with plastic or other material to avoid contamination.
