6712 - INSTALLATION - CATEGORY IV: Vent and combustion air12.1 - CATEGORYIV: PositivepressurecondensingAn appliance that operates with apositive vent static pressure with avent gas temperature that may causecondensate production in the vent.12.2 - CATEGORYIV: Venting and airpiping systemsWARNING!!!WARNING!!! The ventinstallation must be inaccordance with part Ventingof Appliances, of the latestedition of the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 orsection, Venting Systems andAir Supply for Appliances, ofthe CAN/CSA B149.1, NaturalGas and Propane Installationcode or applicable provisionsof the local building codes.Improper venting can resultin excessive levels of carbonmonoxide which can resultin severe personal injury ordeath!WARNING!!!WARNING!!! All vent pipesmust be mechanically fixed.Improper venting can resultin excessive levels of carbonmonoxide which can resultin severe personal injury ordeath!WARNING!!!WARNING!!! The exhaustvent and the air inlet lines,must be supported to preventsagging. To do this, use asuitable pipe clamp to supportthe lines. Pipe clamps shallsupport the line every 3 ft (1m). Pipe clamp shall be fixedin correspondance of a wallstud. Improper supporting canresult in excessive levels ofcarbon monoxide which canresult in severe personal injuryor death!WARNING!!!WARNING!!! Use ofcellular core PVC and CPVCor Radel for venting system isnot allowed. Use of impropermaterials can result inexcessive levels of carbonmonoxide which can resultin severe personal injury ordeath!Be sure to locate the heater such thatthe vent and air piping can be routedthrough the building and properlyterminated.The vent/air piping lengths, routingand termination method must allcomply with the methods and limitsgiven in Section 12.3.NOTICE! The exhaust pipe mustbe pitched a minimum of a 1/4 inchper foot back to the heater (to allowdrainage of condensate).NOTICE! The vent system shallbe installed so as to prevent theaccumulation of condensate.NOTICE! Due to the high efficiencyof the heater it may discharge whatlooks like white smoke especiallywhen the outside air temperature iscold. This is a simply water vapor, apurely natural phenomenon and not areason for concern.This heater requires a special ventsystem, designed for pressurizedventing.You must install air piping fromoutside to the heater air intake. Theresultant installation is Direct Vent(sealed combustion).The heater is to be used for eitherDirect Vent installation or forinstallation using room combustionair. When room air is considered, seeSection 12.9.Vent and air must terminate near oneanother and may be vented verticallythrough the roof or out a side wall,unless otherwise specified. You mayuse any of the vent/air piping methodsfrom Figure 12-1 to Figure 12-6. Donot attempt to install this heater usingany other means.WARNING!!!WARNING!!! DO NOT mixcomponents from differentsystems. The vent systemcould fail, causing leakage offlue products into the livingspace. Use only approvedmaterials listed on Figures 12-7and 12-8. Improper materialsor mixing materials can resultin excessive levels of carbonmonoxide which can resultin severe personal injury ordeath!
