Greenstar – 6721822579 (2021/01)
If multiple boilers are installed in a row, allow at least 1 foot (305 mm)
clearance between the vent termination of one and the combustion air
intake of the other.
The combustion air inlet is located at least 1 ft (305 mm) above the
upper edge, the expected snow line or roof surface (in Canada, at least 1
1/2 ft (457 mm) ( Fig. 31 [Y
A
], page 31).
Vent termination must be located at least 7 ft (2135 mm) above public
traffic routes ( fig. 31 [X
5
], page 31). Condensate can exit at the
terminal end. Ensure that condensate spilling from the termination does
not create a hazard or a nuisance.
Do not allow expose vent pipes outside the building to extend past the
recommended distance. Condensate can freeze and block the flue
outlet.
Vent termination must be at least 3 ft (915 mm) away from adjoining
walls, inside corners and 5 ft (525 mm) below the roof overhang
( Fig. 31 [X
2
], [X
4
], page 31).
Do not extend exposed vent pipe outside the building beyond
recommended distance. Condensate could freeze and block vent pipe.
Did not use the chimney as a conduit if the flue gases from a wall-
mounted gas condensing boiler or other combustion equipment are
routed in or through the chimney.
All non-steel PVC/CPVC vent pipes must be glued, except for the flue gas
adapter.
The flue pipe must be supported properly and angled downward at least
¼ inch (6.35 mm) per foot from the wall-mounted gas condensing boiler.
This allows the condensate to drain away.
NOTICE
Damage of 2 inch PVC pipes.
▶ For ZBR 42-3 A and ZWB 42-3 A use 2 inch CPVC-pipes or 3 inch
pipes.
All PP/PVC/CPVC combustion air and vent pipe materials and fittings
must be approved and comply with the following:
