Common Venting methods and requirements for SVF Boilers (SVF 725/850)
The SVF boiler can be common vented when the following requirements are met.
• Common venting of the SVF boiler can only be done in a Category II vent system. All requirements for
the SVF boiler to be vented in a Category II configuration must be met as stated in the SVF Boiler Manual
or all subsequent addenda.
• SVF boilers can only be common vented with other SVF Boilers.
• The maximum number of SVF boilers to be common vented together is four.
• The Vent system for a Category II SVF boiler is considered a Designed / Engineered vent system and
should be designed by a professional using accepted engineering practices.
• Vertical Vent only.
• Combustion air must come from the boiler room. See Direct Exhaust – Room Air Openings requirements
in the SVF Boiler Manual.
• Must increase venting to 8" using a 6" to 8" bell reducer at boiler vent adapter for Category II Vent Connection.

  • Page 2 IMPORTANT Weil-McLain recommends the use of a Variable Speed Chimney Fan or Power Venter to ensure that the appropriate negative pressure is maintained for Category II venting. As a result of the boiler’s efficiency, the exhaust gas temperatures can be low resulting in less natural draft. A flow proving switch should be wired into the Proof of Closure jumper circuit on the boiler control.
  • Page 3 svf gas-fired water boiler — application guide IMPORTANT The thermal spill switch should shut down all boilers connected to the common flue. Each boiler must be wired to its own set of dry contacts activated by the spill switch. IMPORTANT Increasing the negative pressure in the vent pipe will slightly increase the firing rate at low fire, thus reducing the boiler’s true modulation range.
