Page 19: Venting Requirements
VENTING REQUIREMENTS VENTING TO THE OUTSIDE In all cases, appliance venting must satisfy all requirements of the most recent versions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and any other provisions made by local authorities having relevant jurisdiction. - Page 20 EXHAUST VENT TERMINATION SPECIFICATIONS Clearances from the exhaust vent termination are determined by local or national codes, but must not be less than 6” (15 cm.) from any combustible materials. All building materials must be adequately protected from potential degradation by flue gases.
- Page 21 TERMINATION CAPS (cont.) Adhere to all current local codes and/or ANSIZ223.1 / CSA.B149.1 latest editions for all venting requirement and practices. When venting with a manufactured vent system, vent termination caps must be of a design that prevents direct wind infiltration into the venting system. If wind is permitted to infiltrate into the venting system, static pressure may build and trip the appliance blocked flue sensor, resulting in nuisance appliance shutdowns.
- Page 22 UNVENTED INSTALLATION (INTERLOCKED INDIRECT VENTING) This appliance is certified for installation in structures that are not attached to a residential/domicile type building, without a direct exhaust vent connection to the outdoors, subject to the following criteria. CANADA: It is required that the heaters(s) be electrically interlocked to dedicated exhaust fan(s) by means of an Air Proving Switch.
- Page 23 COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE VENTING REQUIREMENTS This appliance can draw combustion air from indoors, or utilize the factory installed air intake duct collar located on the blower assembly to duct combustion air in from outside. CAUTION: When the appliance is located in a building with a negative air condition, or in a dusty or dirty atmosphere such as a welding shop, wood working shop, poultry barn or foundry, it is mandatory to duct combustion air from outdoors or from an area free of the negative pressure conditions / contaminated air.
