The vent and air piping must be securely supported, and
must not rest its weight on the boiler fittings. Failure to
properly support the vent and air piping could result in
vent piping damage, resulting in possible severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
The supports/bracing used must support the termination
assembly to prevent slippage or movement. See instruc-
