3.2 Removing an existing boiler

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system
may be too large for proper venting of the appliances that remain connected to it. When resizing
any portion of the common venting system, use the minimum size according to the appropriate
tables in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. In Canada, follow the B149.1
Installation Code.
When removing an existing boiler, the following checks must be carried out for each of the
appliances still connected to the common exhaust system, by operating them one at a time:
Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Determine that there
is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies that could cause an
unsafe condition.
(Where practical) Close all building doors and windows such as doors adjacent to
appliances remaining connected to the common venting system and other spaces of the
building.
