DANGER
Do not install the PRESTIGE into a com-
mon vent with other gas or oil appliances.
This may cause flue gas spillage or a p p l i-
ance malfunction, resulting in possible
s e v e re personal injury, death or s u b s t a n-

Combustion Air and Vent Piping

The PRESTIGE requires a Category IV vent-
ing system, which is designed for pressurized
venting and condensate.
The PRESTIGE is certified per ANSI Z21.13b
as a Category IV or Direct Vent (sealed com-
bustion) appliance. A Category IV appliance
utilizes uncontamined indoor or outdoor air
(surrounding the appliance) for combustion. A
Direct Vent appliance utilizes uncontaminated
outdoor air (piped directly to the appliance) for
combustion.
BEST PRACTICES
NOTICE
The minimum
DANGER
9
In order to reduce the potential risks
associated with indoor contaminates
(listed on page 5), flammable vapors
and tight housing construction (little or
no infiltration air), it is recommended
to pipe uncontaminated combustion air
directly from the outdoors to the appli-
ance. This practice also promotes higher
system efficiency by reducing heated
indoor air from being exhausted from
the house and replaced by cold infiltra-
tion air into the house.
Install combustion air and vent pipe as
detailed in the PRESTIGE Vent Sup-
plement included in the boiler installa-
tion envelope.
Verify installed combustion air and vent
piping are sealed gas tight and meet all
provided instructions and applicable
codes, failure to comply will result in
severe personal injury of death.
