1 - GENERAL
DANGER: Risk of fatal injury from toxic
!
flue gases!
Never connect more than one boiler to
a flue system – regardless of whether
the flue is vertical or horizontal.
Common venting systems can cause
damage to property and personal inju-
ry.
Do not route the flue system through
another flue system that is in use, e.g. a
masonry chimney connected to a wood
stove.
Follow the instructions of the flue pipe
manufacturer.
The boiler must be installed by a trained and certi-
fied installer in accordance with all requirements of
NFPA-31, "Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment".
Installation must comply with all local and national
codes applicable to the installation of oil-fired
condensing boilers.
2 - VENTILATION
2.1 - Type conventional flue outlet
- All combustion appliances consume a quantity of
air proportional to their power.
• A ventilation space of at least 100 cm² (0.11 ft²)
must be provided at least 1.8 m (5.9 ft) above
the ground, as well as an air input, below, of
100 cm² (0.11 ft²).
- To avoid corrosion, the combustion air must not
contain any harmful agents. Halogenated hydro-
carbons, containing combinations of chlorine or
fluorine that are found in solvents, paints, glues,
propellants, household cleaning products, etc.
are considered to greatly encourage corrosion.
V - INSTALLATION
In Canada, the requirements of CSA/CGAB139 Ins-
tallation Code apply.
1.1 - Notes on installation and operation
When installing and operating the heating system
observe the following:
- The local building codes regarding the installation
- The local building codes regarding combustion
air supply and venting systems, and the chimney
connection
- Regulations governing power connection to the
power supply
- The regulations and standards relating to the sa-
fety systems for the water heating system
Other important information:
- Only operate the boiler with the combined com-
bustion air/flue venting system specifically desig-
ned and approved for it.
- Follow the local code when connecting the
condensate outlet to the public sewer system.
2.2 - Balanced flue outlet
When the FCX boiler is installed with the horizontal
or vertical balanced flue kits provided as an option,
the combusion circuit is sealed tight in relation to the
local installation.
The boiler does not require any special ventilation,
but when the room is very small, you must take eve-
ry measure to ensure that the ambient temperature
of the installation premises does not exceed 45°C
(113°F) (ventilation).

The installation premises may require
!
ventilation to be fitted according to its
features or use.
