Venting Terminations - FULTON Caliber Installation And Operation Manual

SECTION 2
CAL-IOM-2012-1220
NOTE: The trap can optionally be equipped with a high condensate alarm
functionality, which will annunciate via the SOLA control if there is something
preventing the condensate from draining away properly.
Adhere to the following for condensate drain piping installation:
1. A condensate collecting tank and condensate pump will be required if a
oor drain is not available to discharge to (Collecting tank and pump are
not supplied with the boiler). Complete condensate drain kits are available
from Fulton.
2. It is recommended that all condensate piping be galvanized or stainless
steel and should be free of leaks.
3. High temperature silicone tubing (500 F) can be used on the outlet of the
boiler to the header.
4. CPVC is acceptable for the common header only.
5. Install the condensate piping to the condensate drain in the lower left
hand side of the boiler.
6. Connect 3/4" condensate drain(s) to the 1" header connected in a manifold.
The header must be at least 5 1/2" below the condensate outlet of the
individual boiler and must remain ooded by being at least 5 ½" below the
outlet of the condensate drain trap.

Venting Terminations

Adhere to the following for installation (see Figure 7):
1. All vent pipes and ttings must be installed with appropriate air space
clearances to combustibles. These air space clearances apply to indoor or
outdoor vents—whether they are open, enclosed, horizontal or vertical or
pass through oors, walls, roofs, or framed spaces. The air space clearances
should be observed to joists, studs, sub oors, plywood, drywall or plaster
enclosures, insulating sheathing, rafters, roo ng, and any other material
classed as combustible.
2. The required minimum air space clearances also apply to electrical wires
and any kind of building insulation.
3. Adequate provision must be made to support the weight of the exhaust
venting. It cannot be supported by the boiler exhaust connection.
4. Listed termination parts must be used.
5. Select the air intake point of penetration where a minimum of 1/4" per foot
upward pitch can be maintained.
6. When penetrating a non-combustible wall, the hole through the wall must
be large enough to maintain the pitch of the vent and provide sealing. Use
adhesive material to seal around the vent on both sides of the wall. When
penetrating a combustible wall, a wall thimble must be used. See Figure
8for installation instructions. Minimum wall thickness through which vent

WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
Fulton cannot assume responsibility
for an air intake or exhaust
arrangement where Caliber boilers
are common vented with any other
type of equipment.
Cements for plastic pipe are
ammable liquids and should
be kept away from all sources of
ignition. Proper ventilation should
be maintained to reduce the hazard
and to minimize breathing of cement
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with
skin and eyes.

CAUTION
Circulating pump power supply must
be external to the boiler. The use of the
SOLA as a power supply is prohibited.
The pump contacts provided with the
SOLA are for controlling the pump only.
