Failure to comply with these instructions in
the order presented can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
This document is a supplement to the INSTINCT Boil-
er Installation and Maintenance manual. The purpose
of this supplement is to ensure the proper installation
of the vent and combustion air piping to the boiler.
This vent supplement outlines Direct Vent
and Category IV (Indoor Air) installations
using PVC, CPVC, and SS materials. For oth-
er venting options (materials, terminations,
etc.), contact Triangle Tube.
• A byproduct of any gas fired appliance is
carbon monoxide. Triangle Tube requires
the installation of a minimum of two (2)
hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors
with an alarm and battery back-up; one
in the mechanical room where the boiler
is located and another installed in the
living area outside the bedroom(s) for all
installations. Consult the local authority
having jurisdiction for any additional
carbon monoxide detector requirements
in your area. See page 29 for additional
carbon monoxide detector requirements in
Massachusetts.
• All INSTINCT vent and combustion air
piping must be installed, terminated
and joints sealed as outlined in this
manual. Failure to comply with installa-
tion procedures outlined in this manual
will result in substantial property dam-
age, serious injury, or death.
