Part 4 - General venting Figure 4.10 Flue terminal hole cutting 4. Determine the wall thickness and, if necessary, cut the wall terminal to the desired length. Remove all burrs from the cut terminal. NOTE: The length of the flue terminal is correct if outer wall plate, or rosette, is flush with the outside wall.
Normal operation of the Eco-King appliance does not result in deposits of combustible soot in venting systems. However, a poorly adjusted or malfunctioning appliance can deposit soot and other debris which can enter the vent system.
Warning The instructions of the appliance manufacturer with regard to the minimum trap height of condensate drain must be followed. If the height is not enough the flue gases can be blown out under a locked vent condition before the appliance’s blocked vent detection system can function. Additional instructions for termination through a roof with a roof terminal: The vent system must terminate at least 2 feet above the roof line or any wall or vertical structure within 10 feet.
Page 27
Figure 4.18 Location 5. Place the weather collar into position. See figure 4.19. 6. Carefully insert the flue terminal through the weather collar from outside the roof. Notice Do not turn cap. See figure 4.19. 7. Assure that the flue terminal is plumb using a level or similar device. See figure 4.19. 8.
Part 4 - General venting Warning The concentric vent pipe should extend fully into the appliance flue outlet adapter / air intake adapter. Make sure the concentric vent pipe extends in the appliance on the adapter location as shown in the figure underneath. Ensure that the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the appliance flue outlet adapter.
Combustion air containing chemicals such as chloride, fluoride, bromine or iodine or dust and debris will cause corrosion damage of the heat exchanger voiding your Eco-King warranty. Refer to table 4.1 for a list of corrosive products and contaminants sources to avoid.
The quick reference table below is to be read in conjunction with the numbered notes as indicated and the Venting Rules and Guidelines in Section 4. The instructions detailed in this section are a combination of Eco-King specific and National Gas Code restrictions.

UL Listed ULC-S636 Venting PART 3 The use of single pipe Eco-King (M&G) polypropylene or any polypropylene venting rated to ULC S-636 is now available to be used with Eco-King Boilers. No special adapter needed. Please review the following instructions:...
Page 33
Max Vent length runs with Eco-King PP single pipe Eco-King recommends using 3” polypropylene venting, however 2” venting is permitted. Single pipe straight, 45 or 90 terminations are permitted as well. In Table 1.2 the Eco-King Boiler vent lengths are outlined.
Page 34
Venting Part 4 If all contaminants listed in Table 2.1 in the installation manual are STRICTLY AVOIDED, combustion room can be used as a source of air intake. This table is shown again below. Note: In new home installs it is mandatory to bring air in from outside the home while the home is being built. This is in done to prevent dust and any other contaminants from entering the boiler housing and affecting operation.
Page 35
Venting Part 6: Vent Terminations for All Single Pipe Applications Intake and exhaust pipes should terminate at a rooftop or side wall location. Keep exhaust plumes well away from all building air intakes including those of neighbouring properties. All venting must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the jurisdiction having authority: in Canada, Part 8, Venting Systems of the B149.1-10 Code and any other local building codes are to be followed.
Page 36
Unbalanced Terminations Eco-King also permits unbalanced flue terminations where exhaust is terminated at the roof of building and intake is piped directly to the boiler from building side wall. Follow guidelines for each as noted above in roof and wall termination sections.
Part 6 - Condensate Drain This appliance produces liquid condensate in the heat exchanger and venting system as a product of combustion. Provisions must be taken to ensure that condensate does not collect in the venting system; therefore, all exhaust piping must slope back to the appliance a minimum of 5 cm per mtr (0.60 inch / feet).
Part 6 - Condensate Drain Cleaning It is recommended to clean the condensate drain once a year by rinsing / washing it with tap water: 1.) Shut off power to the appliance. 2.) Disconnect the condensate hose by turning the connection screw. 3.) Dismount the drain from the boiler by a turning movement (to the left).
Part 7 - Central heating (CH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) circuit Warning If no diffusion-tight pipes for supply and return (CH circuit) are applied for radiators or floor heating, place a partition between the CH water of the boiler and the water in the system. E.g. use a plate heat exchanger. A plate heat exchanger prevents contamination of the heat exchanger by, among others, magnetite.
(See figure 7.6 as well) Control module The Eco-King Boiler control module uses temperature sensors to provide both high limit protection and modulating temperature control. The control module also provides low water protection by sensing the water pressure of the CH system. Some codes / jurisdictions or insurance companies may require additional external controls for high limit and / or low water cutoff protection.
The supply pipe for cold tap water (Fig. 7.4) is provided with a flow limiter depending on the type of Eco- King boiler (e.g. Eco-King C100: 8l/min. (2.1 gal/min) of 60 °C (140 °F)). Connect the supply and return pipe in accordance with the (local) regulations.
Part 7 - Central heating (CH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) circuit Connect an external expansion tank The boiler comes standard with a 11 liter (2,9 US Gallon) internal expansion tank. In case the total size of the installation configuration requires this, an extra expansion tank needs to be selected with regard to the total installation size and static pressure.
