Vertical vent/air termination: 3” PVC concentric (continued)
Maintain clearances to termination as given below:4.
Vent outlet must be located:a.
At least 6 feet from adjacent walls.•
No closer than 5 feet below roof overhang.•
At least 7 feet above any public walkway.•
At lease 3 feet above any forced air intake within 10 feet.•
No closer than 12 inches below or horizontally from any door •
or window or any other gravity air inlet.
Air inlet must terminate at least 12 inches above the roof or b.
snow line as shown in Figure 56, page 42. (For Canada, the
minimum is 18 inches.)
Do not terminate closer than 4 feet horizontally from any c.
electric meter, gas meter, regulator, relief valve or other equip-
ment. Never terminate above or below any of these within
4 feet horizontally.
Locate termination so it is not likely to be damaged by foreign 5.
objects, such as stones or balls, or subject to buildup of leaves or
sediment.
Do not connect any other appliance to the vent pipe or multiple 6.
boilers to a common vent pipe.
Multiple vent/air terminations
When terminating multiple Ultra boilers, install the concentric 1.
vent/air termination assemblies as described in this supplement.
All vent outlets must terminate at the same height to avoid
possibility of severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Place roof penetrations to obtain minimum of 12 inches between 2.
centers of adjacent vent pipe of another boiler for U. S. installa-
tions (see Figure 57).
For Canadian installations, provide clearances required by CSA 3.
B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code.
The air inlet of an Ultra boiler is part of a direct vent connection. 4.
It is not classified as a forced air intake with regard to spacing from
adjacent boiler vents.
Prepare roof penetration
Roof penetration hole:1.
Cut a 5-inch diameter hole to clear the 4½-inch termination a.
outside diameter.
Insert a galvanized metal thimble in the vent pipe hole.b.
Follow all local codes for isolation of vent pipe when passing 2.
through oors, ceilings and roofs.
Provide ashing and sealing boots sized for the concentric termina-3.
tion outside diameter, 4½ inches.
Mount the termination as shown in 4. Figure 60, page 45.
Assembling the concentric termination
See 1. Figure 58, page 44 for the dimensions and details of
the termination assembly.
You must obtain a bird screen separately. See the parts 2.
list at the end of this manual. Prepare the bird screen.
Cut the bird screen to fit the outside diameter of the a.
2½-inch PVC inner pipe supplied with the termina-
tion kit (inner pipe O.D. is 2
7
/8 inches).
Partially assemble the vent termination kit in the se-3.
quence shown in Figure 59, page 44.
install the rain cap and bird screen
until the assembly has been inserted through
the roof and all supports have been installed.
Follow instructions to cover the end of the
assembly with plastic before inserting through
the roof penetration to prevent debris from
blocking the air passages.
Use the following procedures to prepare termination 4.
components and cement together.
Deburr inside and outside of pipe ends.5.
Chamfer outside of each pipe end to ensure even cement 6.
distribution when joining.
Clean all pipe ends and fittings.7.
Dry thoroughly.8.
Dry assemble entire vent or air piping to ensure proper 9.
fit before assembling any joint.
