Conversion To Propane - Buderus Logamax Plus GB142-24 Installation Instructions Manual

6 Installation
Do not exceed the total equivalent venting length of 100 feet
(30,480 mm) (GB142-24/30/45) and 60 feet (18,288 mm)
(GB142-60) maximum requirement each for the intake and
exhaust piping.
See table 4 for the Friction Loss Equivalent in piping and
fittings.
Example:
When you end up using 3 x 45°-elbows and the concentric
vent kit, then the total venting length may not exceed 88 feet
(26.84 m) (GB142-24/30/45) or 48 feet (14.65 m)
(GB142-60).
3 x 45°-elbow = 3 x 3 ft (0.91 m) =
concentric vent kit =
Total friction loss equivalent =
Total venting length for this example is:
GB142-24/30/45 = 100 ft (30.48 m) - 12 ft (3.64 m) =
88 feet (26.84 m)
GB142-60 = 60 ft (18.29 m) - 12 ft (3.64 m) =
48 feet (14.65 m).
NOTICE
The minimum covering wall thickness is
1" (25 mm).
The maximum covering wall thickness is
16" (406 mm).
CAUTION !
Vent connectors serving appliances vented by
natural draft shall not be connected into any
portion of mechanical draft systems operating
