Part 1 - General Safety Information
Part 5 - Venting
You must not use “B” vent in an exhaust application. “B” vent is for
intake applications ONLY. Using “B” vent in an exhaust application
will result in serious injury or death.
• The exhaust and intake components installed with this appliance must be used for near appliance piping BEFORE transitioning to the
approved materials listed above. DO NOT REMOVE these installed components. Doing so WILL VOID appliance warranty.
• In the US/Canada, PVC vent pipe and ttings SHALL NOT BE USED within the closet or alcove. Only approved CPVC, Polypropylene, or
Stainless Steel vent pipe and ttings may be used.
• PVC / CPVC pipe and ttings of the same diameter are considered interchangeable.
• The use of cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular core CPVC, or Radel® (polyphenolsulfone) in exhaust venting systems is prohibited.
• Covering non-metallic vent pipe and ttings with thermal insulation is prohibited.
• The boiler’s vent and air intake connections are designed to accept 3” PVC/CPVC and Polypropylene directly. DO NOT insert PVC piping
into the boiler’s exhaust connection. When venting with PVC, insert the factory supplied 5” length of CPVC before transitioning to PVC.
• When installing AL29-4C vent piping, install a PVC-to-stainless adapter at the boiler vent connection, and at the termination when using
a PVC termination kit. DO NOT mix AL29-4C piping from dierent manufacturers unless using adapters specically designed for the
purpose by the manufacturer.
• DO NOT mix components from dierent venting systems without proper adapters. The vent system could fail, causing leakage of ue
products into the living space. Use only the approved pipe and tting materials, and primer and cement specically designed for the
material used, as listed in the above table.
• A double wall vent or insulated material may be used when using stainless steel vent material in a freezing climate.
• *ABS may be used for air intake applications ONLY.
• Contact the venting material manufacturer if there is any question about the applicability of the proposed venting material.
Failure to follow these directions will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Table 10 - Approved Materials for Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe
C. Additional Requirements for Installation in Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system certied to
ULC-S636.
2. The rst three (3) feet of vent pipe from the boiler ue outlet must
be readily accessible for visual inspection.
3. The components of the certied vent system must not be
interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe / ttings.
NOTE: The use of double-wall vent or insulated material for the
combustion air intake pipe is recommended in cold climates to prevent
the condensation of airborne moisture in the incoming combustion air.
High heat sources (generating heat 100
o
F / 37
o
C or greater, such
as boiler ue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic
components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such
damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended to keep
a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources. Observe heat
source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial,
and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances when installing
this boiler and related components near high heat sources.
