1. CODES, SAFETY, AND VENTING SYSTEMS

1.1. APPLICABLE FEDERAL CODES

United States:

NFPA 54/ANSI

Z223.1:

NFPA/ANSI 211:

Canada:

CAN1-B149.1:

B149.2:

The above listed codes contain information for gas vented appliances requiring Category II, III

and IV, vent sizing, location, air space clearances to combustibles and safe installation

practices. The gas vent installer must be familiar with the above codes, as well as Local Codes

and Regulations.

All installations of boilers and venting should be done only by qualified

venting systems personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's

recommendations. Installing or venting a boiler or any other gas

appliance with improper methods or materials may result in serious

injury or death due to fire or to asphyxiation from poisonous gases

(carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible).

•

For correct installation of vent system, read all of these instructions

and refer to the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.

•

Failure to use the venting system described in this document will

void the manufacturer's warranty and may result in rapid

deterioration of the venting system, creating a potential health

hazard.

•

Faulty vent installation can allow toxic fumes to be released into

living areas. This may cause serious bodily injury or property

damage. Improper assembly may also affect vent performance.

Install separate vents for forced exhaust appliances and natural draft

appliances. A common vent between natural draft and forced

exhaust appliances may cause toxic gases to exhaust through the

natural draft appliance rather than to outside air. Breathing exhaust

gases will cause serious personal injury or death.
