4 Sidewall direct venting
Vent/air termination – sidewall
Follow instructions below when determining
vent location to avoid possibility of severe
personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
A gas vent extending through an exterior
wall shall not terminate adjacent to a wall or
below building extensions such as eaves,
parapets, balconies, or decks. Failure to
comply could result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.
Installation must comply with local
requirements and with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 for U.S. installations or
CSA B149.1 for Canadian installations.

ƽ WARNING
Do not connect any other appliance to the
vent pipe or multiple boilers to a common
vent pipe. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Determine location
Locate the vent/air terminations using the following guidelines:
1. The total length of piping for vent or air must not exceed the
limits given in the General Venting Section on page 15 of
this manual.
2. You must consider the surroundings when terminating the
vent and air:
a. Position the vent termination where vapors will
not damage nearby shrubs, plants or air
conditioning equipment or be objectionable.
b. The flue products will form a noticeable plume as
they condense in cold air. Avoid areas where the
plume could obstruct window views.
c. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of
condensate and water/ice buildup where flue
products impinge on building surfaces or plants.
d. Avoid possibility of accidental contact of flue
products with people or pets.
e. Do not locate the terminations where wind eddies
could affect performance or cause recirculation,
such as inside building corners, near adjacent
buildings or surfaces, window wells, stairwells,
alcoves, courtyards, or other recessed areas.

Do not exceed the maximum lengths of the
outside vent piping shown in FIG. 4-1B.
Excessive length exposed to the outside
could cause freezing of condensate in the
vent pipe, resulting in potential boiler
shutdown.

ƽ WARNING
If using the alternate sidewall termination:
3. The air piping must terminate in a down-turned elbow as
shown in FIG. 4-1B. This arrangement avoids recirculation
of flue products into the combustion air stream.
4. The vent piping must terminate in an elbow pointed
outward or away from the air inlet, as shown in FIG.4-1B.
