Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

3.19 Flue Exhaust Piping to Vent

In a condensing boiler the flue exhaust is evacuated at a very low temperature (maximum of

about 183°F / 84°C). Thus, it is necessary that the chimney be impermeble to the condensate of

the combustion products and be made of corrosion resistant materials.
The different joints must be well sealed and equipped with suitable gaskets in order to prevent

the escape of condensate and prevent the ingress of air.
To determine the proper cross section and height dimensions of the flue exhaust piping, refer to

national and local codes.
In order to prevent the formation of ice during the operation, the temperature of the internal wall

of the flue exhaust system should not be below 32 °F (0 °C) throughout its length.
For efficient venting of the combustion exhaust and to address condensation due to lower

external temperatures, ensure that combustion condensation is discharged into the boiler

condensate tray or into another separate collection pan according to the installation.

A test nipple, for measuring combustion gases, should be installed onto the first three feet of the

exhaust manifold flue. To do this, a hole with a diameter of 0.83‘‘ is drilled in a convenient

location for testing and the test nipple hardware assembled to the Flue pipe as shown in Figure

3-13.

NOTE

Damage caused by mistakes in installation, failure to complete the

instructions as written, or the improper use of the flue system are

not the responsibility of the supplier.

3.20 Vent Starter Pieces

All vent starter pieces for the Modulex EXT 1530 through 3060 can be purchased directly from

the vent manufacturer.
