WARNING
It is extremely important to
maintain at least the minimum
separation of exhaust vent
termination from boiler /
water heater intake air as
illustrated in figures 5, 8 and
13. Failure to do so can result
in a dangerous situation
where exhaust gasses are
re-ingested with combustion
air. Damage to the boiler
/ water heater can result
from a failure to maintain
these separations. Improper
installation will void the
warranty.
WARNING
In areas of high snowfall,
Users must be advised to
check side wall vent and
air intake terminations on
a regular basis to ensure
blockage does not occur.

Use a 45° elbow on the exhaust termination to launch the plume up and off
the sidewall, for protection of wall.
•
Bird screen of 1/4" stainless steel or plastic mesh eg. (IPEX System 636 drain
grate for CPVC systems) is useful to guard against foreign objects.
