VENTING
CONNECTIONS
General
CAUTION: Proper installation of flue exhaust
venting is critical for the safe and efficient operation
of the boiler. For vent systems not shown in this
section please contact your local authorized
representative.
CAUTION: Stable vent pressure is critical to the
safe and proper operation of the heater. A
combination of barometric dampers, balancing
dampers, extractors, or draft inducers may be
required to stabilize the vent pressure.
Definition of Appliance Categories
Boilers are divided into four categories based on the
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of
condensate production in the vent.
Category I: A boiler which operates with a non-pos-
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas

NOTE: PVC or CPVC vent may be used in conjunction with CHX, special piping arrangement has to be made. Contact manufacturer for details.

temperature that avoids excessive condensate pro-
duction in the vent.
Category II: A boiler which operates with a non-pos-
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas
temperature that may cause excessive condensate
production in the vent.
Category III: A boiler which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV: A boiler which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
may cause excessive condensate production in the
vent.
See Table J for vent category requirements for the
Advanced Design Boiler.
NOTE: For additional information on appliance
categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard
and the latest edition Standard of National Fuel Gas
Code or in Canada, the latest edition of CSA
Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment, or applicable provisions
of local building codes.
