-ULTIPLEVENTAIRTERMINATIONS
1. When terminating multiple GV90+ boilers,
terminate each vent/air connection as described
in this manual.
All vent pipes and air inlets must
terminate at the same height to avoid
possibility of severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
2. Place wall penetrations to obtain minimum clear-
ance as shown in Figure 44 for U. S. installations.
For Canadian installations, provide clearances
required by CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. or B149.2 Installation Code.
3. The air inlet of a GV90+ boiler is part of a direct
vent connection. It is not classified as a forced air
intake with regard to spacing from adjacent boiler
vents.
4. Combustion air (NOT vent piping) can be mani-
folded as shown in Figure 37, page 31.
