If multiple boilers are installed in a row, allow at least 1 foot (305 mm)
clearance between the vent termination of one and the combustion air
intake of the other.
The combustion air inlet is located at least 1 ft (305 mm) above the
upper edge, the expected snow line or roof surface (in Canada, at least 1
1/2 ft (457 mm) ( Fig. 31 [Y
], page 31).
A
Vent termination must be located at least 7 ft (2135 mm) above public
traffic routes ( fig. 31 [X
], page 31). Condensate can exit at the
5
terminal end. Ensure that condensate spilling from the termination does
not create a hazard or a nuisance.
Do not allow expose vent pipes outside the building to extend past the
recommended distance. Condensate can freeze and block the flue
outlet.
Vent termination must be at least 3 ft (915 mm) away from adjoining
walls, inside corners and 5 ft (525 mm) below the roof overhang
( Fig. 31 [X
], [X
], page 31).

a. Components of the certified vent systems must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe fittings. Plastic components, and specified primers and glues
of the certified vent system must be from a single system manufacturer and not intermixed with other system manufacturer's vent system parts.

Did not use the chimney as a conduit if the flue gases from a wall-
mounted gas condensing boiler or other combustion equipment are
routed in or through the chimney.
All non-steel PVC/CPVC vent pipes must be glued, except for the flue gas
adapter.
The flue pipe must be supported properly and angled downward at least
¼ inch (6.35 mm) per foot from the wall-mounted gas condensing boiler.
This allows the condensate to drain away.
NOTICE
Damage of 2 inch PVC pipes.
▶ For ZBR 42-3 A and ZWB 42-3 A use 2 inch CPVC-pipes or 3 inch
pipes.
