Antifreeze In The System; Chimney And Chimney Connections - Dunkirk EMPIRE 3EWC0.80 Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Antifreeze added to boilers must be nontoxic, and
must be of type specifically intended for use in closed
hydronic heating systems. Under no circumstances should
automotive antifreeze be used. Antifreeze used in any
boiler may reduce capacity by 10% or more and increase
fuel consumption. Tankless coil performance will fall as
concentration of antifreeze is increased. Refer to boiler and
piping water volumes tables.

For oil fired boilers for connections to vents or chimneys,
vent installations shall be in accordance with applicable
provisions of NFPA-31 Standard for the installation of
Oil-Burning Equipment (latest edition) and applicable
provisions of local building codes.
NOTICE
Fresh air (ventilation) is important to proper
venting. Ventilation and venting are two parts of the
same system. Inadequate ventilation will result in
inadequate venting. Always be sure to have enough
ventilation to support proper venting.
Check your chimney to make certain that it is right size,
properly constructed and in good condition.
See Table "Recommended Minimum Chimney Sizes".

— This boiler is not approved for direct sidewall horizontal venting.
— In the U.S. : Per section E.11 of NFPA 31-2020 Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, a listed
power venter providing mechanical draft may be used when approved by the Authority having jurisdiction. Select
the listed power venter to match the BTU per hour input of the boiler being vented. Follow all manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for venting and termination included with the power venter.
