If air is taken from another interior space, each 
opening should have a net free area of 1 square inch 
for each 1,000 Btu per hour of boiler input (450 square 
inches for a 450,000 Btu per hour.)

ENTING 
 
This boiler requires a special vent system.  This boiler 
is not certified for use with Type "B" vent.
   
This boiler is Category IV (condensing – positive 
pressure) as it is defined in ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9, 
latest edition.  The vent material must be listed 
Category IV vent pipe (316L or AL29-4C Stainless 
Steel) and comply with UL 1738 or UL103.  In 
Canada it must comply with ULC-636.  The exhaust 
vent can be run horizontally or vertically. 
Vent installations shall be in accordance with Part 10, 
Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel Gas Code, 
ANSI Z223.1 or CSA B.149 code, or applicable 
provisions of the local building codes. 
The venting system and the horizontal portions of the 
venting system shall be supported to prevent sagging. 
The vent must be sized according to the vent 
manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult your vent 
supplier for correct sizing and structural support 
requirements.  Design calculations should be based on 
a maximum of 0.22" W.C. total frictional resistance in 
the stack (measured at the boiler flue gas discharge), 
with a stack temperature of 210° F (gross) and a CO
2
 
level of 9% (natural gas) or 10.4% (propane).  These 
values are to be used for vent sizing calculations. 
The installation of a bird screen on the vent 
termination is recommended.  Consult your local vent 
manufacturer for proper sizing. 
 
 
3.6.1  Barometric Damper 
 
WARNING!  
Do not use a barometric damper with this 
boiler. 
 (This is a positive pressure system; 
combustion gas may leak into the room.) 
3.6.2  Flue Connection 
The connection from the boiler to the vent should be 
as direct as possible and the upward slope of any 
horizontal breaching should be at least 1/4 inch per 
linear foot.  The 300 and 450 vent connection 
incorporates a 4° slope toward the boiler to facilitate 
pitching of the vent for condensate collection.  This 
boiler should not be connected into any portion of 
another mechanical draft system operating under 
positive pressure without consulting your local 
venting representative.  Provisions must be made for 
supports to prevent contact of the vent with 
combustible surfaces. 
Note:  If the vent is erected directly behind the boiler, 
make sure that the weight of the vent is not 
supported 
by the boiler vent collar.  The collar is 
not designed to support the weight of the vent.
  
Structural support and spacing from combustible 
surfaces must be in accordance with the vent 
manufacturer's requirements. 
 
 
 
Flue Connection at Boiler 
 
3.6.3  Required Clearances 
Provide clearances between combustion air intake, 
exhaust vent, roof and wall surfaces, doors and 
window, and snow line as shown in the following 
diagrams.  The exhaust vent termination must be 14 
feet above grade when located adjacent to a public 
walkway.  It must also have a minimum 6 foot 
horizontal and 6 foot vertical clearance (above or 
below) any electric meters, gas meters, regulators, or 
relief equipment. 
Sidewall 
Pitch toward 
boiler 1/4" per 
foot minimum.
 
4 degree slope 
toward boiler, 
approx. ¾” per 
foot.
