.1.2 3” to 4” (100 mm) Transitions
This section outlines the installation of Venting and
C
ombustion Air for the PRESTIGE Solo 80, 110, 155,
175, 250 and EXCELLENCE 110 when the vent sys-
tem must transition from the 3” outlet of the boiler to
the 4” (100 mm) vent system.
•The transition from 3” vent system to 4” (100 mm) vent
system must occur within 5 feet [1.5 m] of the boiler
vent outlet.
• The transition from 3” vent to 4” (100 mm) vent must
occur in a vertical run only.
Transition of 3” vent to 4” (100 mm) vent in a hori-
zontal run may result in pooling of the condensate
and potential vent blockage. Failure to comply can
result in death, serious injury or substantial property
damage.
• The 4” (100 mm) vent should not transition back to
3” (80 mm) vent at any point in the vent system
except when using ACV - Triangle Tube’s optional
PVC concentric vent termination kit, see kit instruc-
tions for details.
• The combustion air piping shall transition from 3” to
4” (100 mm) in the same manner as the vent sys-
tem.
• The total equivalent length of the 3” (80 mm) vent
and 4” (100 mm) vent combined shall not exceed the
length listed for a 4” (100 mm) vent system Table 8
on page 10.
• The total equivalent length of 3” (80 mm) and 4”
(100 mm) combustion air piping combined shall not
exceed the length listed for combustion air in Table
8 on page 10.
WARNING
NOTICE
4.2 Insert Piping to PRESTIGE Adapters
1. The installer must clean, deburr and chamfer the
p
ipe ends.
The pipe ends must be smooth, free of sharp edges
chamfer and wiped clean to prevent possible dam-
age to the sealing gasket in the vent and combustion
air adapters. Failure to comply with this require-
ment could result in leakage of flue products caus-
ing possible severe personal injury or death.
2. Prior to inserting the pipe, inspect the vent and com-
bustion air adapters to verify there are no obstruc-
tions or packing material inside the adapters and the
gaskets are in place.
3. Ensure the adapter banding strap is loose prior to
inserting the pipe.
4. Apply a small amount of silicon grease or water to
the insertion end of the pipe to ease insertion into
the adapter.
5. Insert the pipe into the adapter until it is fully seated.
Do not apply excessive force, twist or bend the
adapter or vent / combustion air pipe when insert-
ing. The adapter gasket could be damaged resulting
in possible flue gas leakage.
6. Secure the vent and combustion air pipe by tighten-
ing the adapter banding strap. Do not over tighten
the strap. The seal is made with gasket inside the
adapter.
