6.8 Multiple Boiler Venting Installation
• Multiple boiler application boiler can vent individually
or use common vent pipes.
• If boilers vent individually follow guidelines as
described in figures 6-1 through 6-7.
• If boilers vent through common vent pipes, as shown
in Figure 6-17, choose common vent pipe per Table 8.
Choose size from Table 9 for pipes between boiler and
common vent pipes.
• Longest individual vent lengths and common vent
length together must be shorter than 100 ft. (30m).
H + L ≤ 100 ft (30m) (See figure 6-17)
• Each boiler must have flow check valve to prevent flue
gas back flow.
• External terminals follow same rule as single boiler
venting as described in Section 6.6 and 6.7
