VENTING INSTALLATION STANDARDS
MATERIAL UNITED STATES CANADA
Stainless Steel UL 1738 Venting must be ULC-S636 certied for use as
PVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM D1785 venting material. The venting material must be chosen
CPVC, sch 40 ANSI/ASTM F441 based upon the intended application of the boiler.
Polypropylene UL1738 or ULC-S636
4.4 Venting (Exhaust)
TheuetemperatureoftheMascotFTchanges
dramatically with changes in operating water
temperature.Therefore,itisnecessarytoassessthe
application of the boiler to determine the required
certiedventclass.IftheMascotFTisinstalled
in an application where the ambient temperature
iselevated,and/orinstalledinacloset/alcove,
CPVC,polypropylene,orstainlesssteelmaterialis
required. If the system temperatures are unknown at
thetimeofinstallation,stainless,polypropyleneor
CPVC material is recommended.
The Mascot FT is a Category IV appliance and may
be installed with PVC, CPVC or polypropylene that
complies with ULC-S636, ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441
(see Table 3) or a stainless steel venting system that
complies with UL 1738 Standard and ULC S636.
WARNING
Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core
CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) in venting
systems shall be prohibited.
WARNING
Failure to use the appropriate vent material, installation
techniques, glues/sealants could lead to vent failure
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
All venting must be installed according to this manual
and any other applicable local codes, including but not
limited to, ANSI Z224.1/NFPA 54, CAN/CSA B149.1
and ULC-S636. Failure to follow this manual and
applicable codes may lead to property damage, severe
injury, or death.

WARNING
Use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core
CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) in non-metallic
venting systems is prohibited and that covering non-
metallic vent pipe and ttings with thermal insulation is
prohibited.
_________________________________________
INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA require the use of
ventingmaterialcertiedtoULCS636.AllGas
ventsconnectedtotheMascotFT,plastic,stainless
steelorotherwisemustbecertiedtothisULC
standard. Appropriate selection of vent material is
very important for proper performance and safe
operation of the Mascot FT.
TheuetemperatureoftheMascotFTchanges
dramatically with changes in operating water
temperature.Therefore,itisnecessarytoassess
the application of the boiler to determine the
requiredcertiedventclass.IftheMascotFTis
installed in an application where the outlet water
temperatureexceeds145°F,and/orinstalledina
closet,classIIBorhigherventmaterialisrequired.
If the system temperatures are unknown at the time
ofinstallation,classIIBorhigherventingmaterial
is recommended.
IN CANADA all venting used must meet the
following requirements:
1. ULC-S636certiedandmarked
2. Therst3feetofventingmustbeaccessible
for visual inspection.
3. All components used in the vent system must
befromacertiedmanufacturer.
4 . Vent system components must not be mixed
