Combustion air and vent piping connections on boiler
are sized for 2" pipe. Any pipe size change (to 3") must be
made outside of the boiler casing in a vertical run of pipe
to allow for proper drainage of vent condensate. Due to
potential for flue gas temperatures over 155°F, the first five
(5) feet of vent pipe must be CPVC, the remaining vent
pipe can be PVC. If any elbows are employed within the
first 5 feet of vent, they must be CPVC too. Two (2) - 30"
pieces of 2" CPVC pipe are furnished with the boiler.
