6.8 Multiple Boiler Venting Installation
•  Multiple boiler application boiler can vent individually 
or use common vent pipes.
•  If boilers vent individually follow guidelines as 
described in gures 6-1 through 6-7.
•  If boilers vent through common vent pipes, as shown 
in Figure 6-17, choose common vent pipe per Table 8.  
Choose size from Table 9 for pipes between boiler and 
common vent pipes. 
•  Longest individual vent lengths and common vent 
length together must be shorter than 100 ft. (30m). 
H + L ≤ 100 ft (30m) (See gure 6-17)
•  Each boiler must have ow check valve to prevent ue 
gas back ow. 
•  External terminals follow same rule as single boiler 
venting as described in Section 6.6 and 6.7
