Use only the vent materials and kits listed in
Figure 21, page 19. Provide pipe adapters if
specified.
1. Locate the terminations such that the total air pip-
ing and vent piping from the boiler to the termina-
tion will not exceed the maximum length given in
Figure 20, page 18.
For polypropylene applications, comply with
any additional requirements in the vent sys-
tem manufacturer’s instructions. Provide 4”
PVC-to-PP transition pieces at the boiler vent
and air connections. PP adapter must have
smooth, straight section of pipe to insert in to
the boiler vent and air connections and must
fit and seal tightly. PP adapters with their own
seal which would interfere with the internal
seal of the boiler vent or air connections must
not be used. Refer to page 115 for a list of
compliant adapters. Install a locking collar at
every joint.
For AL29-4C vent pipe applications, comply
with any additional requirements in the vent
system manufacturer’s instructions. Provide
a 4” PVC transition piece at the boiler vent
connection. The air piping must be PVC or
CPVC.
2. For 4” to 3” transitions, must use appropriate vent
material. For polypropylene or stainless steel must use
approved suppliers transitions (EVG 220 only).
0REPAREROOFPENETRATION
1. Vent pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible
or noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe
hole at least 0.4” larger than the vent pipe diameter.
b. Insert a galvanized metal thimble in the vent pipe
hole.
2. Follow all local codes for isolation of vent pipe when
passing through floors, ceilings and roofs.
3. Provide flashing and sealing boots sized for the vent
pipe and air pipe.
6ENTTERMINATIONANDlTTINGS
1. Prepare the vent termination coupling by inserting a
bird screen. Bird screens must be purchased separately.
See the parts list at the end of this manual for part
numbers.
2. Maintain the required dimensions of the finished ter-
mination piping as shown in Figure 41.
-ULTIPLEVENTTERMINATIONS
1. When terminating multiple Evergreen boilers, terminate
each vent/air connection as described in this section.
2. Place adjacent terminations at least 6 inches apart.
3. For Canadian installations, provide clearances required
by CSA B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code.
