3.4 Common Vent Test
NOTE: This section does not describe a method for
common venting Brute Elite units. It describes what
must be done when a unit is removed from a common
vent system. Brute Elite units require special vent
systems and fans for common vent. Contact the factory
if you have questions about common venting Brute Elite
units.
When an existing boiler is removed from a
common venting system, the common venting system is
likely to be too large for proper venting of the
appliances remaining connected to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, 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.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
