FUTERA III INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 7A – Outdoor Venting
RIOM-59-REV. A

OUTDOOR VENTING

When installed outdoors the Futera III must be fi tted with
the factory supplied outdoor hood, air intake adapter with
fi lter and exhaust terminal, see Figure 7A. Multiple units
must be spaced per Figure 7B.
The boiler/heater must be at least 2 ft, .62 m from any
door, window or gravity air inlet into any building and at
least 3 ft, 1 m from any overhang unless local codes dictate
differently.
Avoid locations where wind defl ection off of adjacent walls,
buildings or shrubbery might cause a downdraft. The
unit(s) shouild be located at least 3 ft, 1 m from structures.
Outdoor installations are not recommended in areas where
the danger of snow blockage exists.
CAUTION: Do not place the boiler/water heater in a
location that would subject it to runoff from adjacent
buildings or damage may occur voiding the warranty!

COMMON VENT SYSTEMS

On multiple boiler common vent applications, the master
boiler may be required to be fi rst on and installed closest
to the verticle chimney (consult factory).
If an existing boiler/water heater is removed from a
common venting system, the common venting system may
then be too large for the proper venting of the remaining
appliances connected to it. At the time of removal of an
existing boiler/water heater, the following steps shall be
followed with each appliance remaining connected to the
common venting system placed in operation, while the
other appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are not in operation.
