LUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Jaguar J-390 series boiler is a high efficiency, mechanical-
ly forced draft boiler and, therefore, require different venting
arrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency boilers.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY
READ AND FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION
OF THE AIR INTAKE AND FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEM.
The v
ent piping installation MUST be in accordance with these
instructions and with ANSI Z223.1-latest edition NATIONAL
FUEL GAS CODE, Part 7, Venting of Equipment. Other local
codes may also apply and must be followed. Where there is a
conflict between these requirements, the more stringent case
shall apply.
The use of a vent damper is NOT permitted on this boiler series.

The vent and air intake system for direct or non-direct vent
installation must be 4” diameter PVC/CPVC schedule. 40 pipe,
or UL listed single wall 4” diameter AL29-4C* stainless steel
material. The following manufacturers’ systems are approved
for use within a specified minimum and maximum equivalent
vent length in this manual.
When joining the var
ious components of the listed stainless steel
v
ent systems
, the manufacturers’ instructions should be closely fol-
