Removing An Existing Boiler - FULTON Endura+ Series Installation And Operation Manual

SECTION 2
EDRP-IOM-2019-0212
2. The termination of the vent system must be at least 12 inches (30.48 cm)
above the finished grade, or at least 12 inches (30.48 cm) above normal
snow accumulation level (for applicable geographical areas).
3. The termination of the vent system shall not be located over traffic areas
such as public walkways, or over an area where condensate or vapor could
create a nuisance or hazard.
4. Do not terminate below operable windows and building openings unless
exception is granted by the authority having jurisdiction.
5. The vent terminations must be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) horizontally from
electric meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
6. When installing inlet and exhaust terminations on the same wall, the
exhaust outlet must be installed 4 feet (1.22 m) minimum above and 10
feet (3.05 m) minimum downwind from air supply inlet to prevent flue gas
recirculation.
7. Under certain wind conditions, some building materials may be affected
by flue products expelled in close proximity to unprotected surfaces.
Sealing or shielding of the exposed surfaces with a corrosion resistant
material (such as an aluminum sheet) may be required to prevent staining
or deterioration. Flue should be directed away from surfaces, if possible.

Removing an Existing Boiler

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the
common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the
appliances remaining connected to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in operation, the following
steps should be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system placed in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and
determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or
other deficiency, which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors
between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Follow the lighting
instructions. Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main
