WARNING OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR MUST BE PIPED TO THE AIR INTAKE. NEVER PIPE COMBUSTION AIR FROM AREAS CONTAINING CONTAMINATES SUCH AS SWIMMING POOLS AND LAUNDRY ROOM EXHAUST VENTS. CONTAMINATED COMBUSTION AIR WILL DAMAGE THE BOILER AND MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. V Air for Ventilation Air for combustion must always be obtained directly from outdoors, however sufficient air for ventilation must still be provided in the boiler room. Air for ventilation is r

The Vent Option #1 column in Table 6.2a describes a horizontal direct vent system using 3” vent pipe. From this column, we see that a BWC150 may have a vent length of up to 55ft. The first 90 elbow and the termination elbow are not considered. From Table 6.6, the equivalent length of the 3” 45 elbow is 4ft and the equivalent length of the 3” 90 degree elbow is 5.5ft. The maximum allowable run of straight pipe on this system is therefore: 55ft – 4 ft – 5.5ft = 40ft Since the

• Maintain the correct clearance and orientation between the vent and air intake terminals. The vent and air intake terminals must be at the same height and their center lines must be between 12 and 36 inches apart. Both terminals must be located on the same wall. • The bottom of the vent and air intake terminals must be at least 12” above the normal snow line. In no case should they be less than 12” above grade level. • The bottom of the vent terminal must be at least 7 feet above a publi

• If possible, install the vent and air intake terminals on a wall away from the prevailing wind. Reliable operation of this boiler cannot be guaranteed if the terminal is subjected to winds in excess of 40 mph. • Air intake terminal must not terminate in areas that might contain combustion air contaminates, such as near swimming pools.

B. Removing an Existing Boiler From a Common Chimney Read this only if the BWC boiler is replacing an existing boiler that is being removed from a common chimney. This section does not apply to the installation of a BWC boiler. In some cases, when an existing boiler is removed from a common chimney, the common venting system may be too large for the remaining appliances. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance rem
