Polypropylene Or Al29-4C® Stainless Steel Vent Systems; Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation - IDEAL Exalt Solo 110 Manual

CHAPTER 4 - INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
e. With the cement still wet, the pipe end should
be inserted into the socket of the fitting and
twisted 1/4 of a full turn. Ensure the pipe end is
inserted fully into the socket of the fitting.
f. Any excess cement should be wiped clean from
the joint. Inspect the joint to ensure a smooth
bead of cement is around the entire joint seam.
7. The installer must use perforated metal strap hangers
or equivalent pipe hangers suitable for plastic pipe to
support the piping. The hangers must be placed at a
maximum of every 5 feet [1.5 m] of horizontal and
vertical run of piping. A support must be placed at
the boiler and at every vertical or horizontal change
in direction (i.e elbow). Do not penetrate any part of
the piping or vent system with a fastener.
WARNING
Failure to properly support vent system can
cause the venting system to fail, resulting in
substantial property damage, serious injury,
or death.
NOTICE
Pipe hangers must not be tightly clamped to
pipe to allow for thermal expansion/contraction
movement. Pipe clamps or hangers should not
contain any sharp edges which can damage the
pipe.
8. The vent and combustion air piping must be sloped
continuously from the termination back to the boiler
with at least 1/4" drop per foot [6 mm] of run. Do not
allow any sags in the run of piping.
WARNING
Do not slope the vent or combustion air
piping downward away from the boiler.
Condensate could freeze and block the vent
pipe or damage the exterior of the building
or surrounding landscape, resulting in
substantial property damage, serious injury, or
death.
9. Maintain a minimum clearance of 1/4" [6 mm]
between the vent pipe and all combustible or non-
combustible materials for 3" [80 mm] PVC/CPVC
vents or 1" [2.5 cm] for 2" [60 mm] PVC/CPVC vents.
The installer must seal any wall, floor or ceiling
penetrations as per local code requirements.
BEST PRACTICE BEST PRACTICE
It is recommended that the installer uses the
same number of elbows and length of pipes
on the venting and the combustion air inlet
systems.
NOTICE
Covering PVC/CPVC or Polypropylene vent pipe
and fittings with thermal insulation is prohibited.
4.3.2 Polypropylene or
Vent Systems
NOTICE
• When using Polypropylene or AL29-4C®
Stainless Steel Vent, refer to vent manufacturer' s
installation instructions supplied with the vent for
proper installation.
• Covering Polypropylene
and fittings with thermal insulation is
prohibited.
4.4.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

Ideal recommends the installation of a minimum of
two (2) hard wired carbon monoxide detectors with
an alarm and battery back-up in the mechanical room
where the EXALT is located and another installed in the
living area outside the bedroom(s) for all installations.
Each carbon monoxide detector shall comply with
NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 listed and IAS certified.
Consult the local authority having jurisdiction for any
additional carbon monoxide detector requirements in
your area. See Chapter 5 on page 33 for additional
carbon monoxide detector requirements in Massachu-
setts.
WARNING
A byproduct of any gas fired appliance is
carbon monoxide.
Failure to install carbon monoxide detectors
with alarms can result in serious injury, or
death.
