5.4 Boiler Venting – Side-wall or Direct Vent Systems Sizing Tables & Vent Safety Device
•
All venting lengt hs must be ca lculated to equivalent lengths,
all application must include at least one 90° elbow
•
Venting must be a type 'BH" [AL294C® material]
•
Maximum vent length [equivalent] = 30 ft. [9m]
•
Minimum vent length [equivalent] 5 ft. [1.5m]
•
Maximum n umber of 90° elbo ws = 2 o r 3 45° el bows, each
90° e bow is eq uivalent to 10 ft . or straight pip e, the 45°
elbow is equivalent = 5 ft.
•
Condensate TEE must be provided [equivalent length = 7 ft.]
•
Appliance reducing adapter [equivalent length 3 ft.]
•
Sealed combustion, combustion air intake sizing, must be
sized according to the burner manufacturers instructions
•
Vent [breeching] pressure shall not exceed 0.2 0 inches w .c.
[0.50 mbar]

•
Vent termination must be a TEE t
regarding te rmination locations. Do not in
termination TEE length in the vent length calculation.
•
Venting shall be sloped, so an y condensation developed will
drain through the condensate TEE fitting

•
Optional function of po wer burners which can emplo y a n
post purge functi on to exh aust flue gases for a fixed time [1
minute to 4 minutes maximum]
•
Burner employing a standb y air damper closed position, the
closed posit ion should be slight ly o pened to allow hot flu e
gases to escape up
entrapped in the combustion he ad. Important n ote, that in
negative building pressures, the observation and odor of flue
gases may enter the boiler room.
