A condensate collector is required for this system when there is a vertical vent configuration. A condensate collection point should be installed on the vertical run of piping just prior to the heater to ensure proper condensate drainage. Check with local codes for proper disposition and handling of condensate water, an air gaped drain is usually required and in some cases a condensate neutralization is also required.
Do not store hazardous or combustible materials near the vent piping
Ensure the air intake and vent termination points are at least 12″ (300mm) above any possible snow accumulation level. The flows must not be impeded by snow or debris.
Ensure the air intake and vent termination points are at least 24″(600mm) from any obstruction or other objects.

The exhaust pipe must maintain adequate clearances and be insulated with a fireproof material if it passes through walls made of flammable materials. Consult local codes and vent pipe manufacture documentation for proper material selection and installation requirements.
Minimum clearance of listed Type B vent or vent connector from a combustible wall or partition must conform to local code, or in the absence of local code, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CCA D110 11.

CAUTION If the heater will be installed in a building that has a system that maintains a negative pressure, it is possible for a back-draft to allow outside air to be pulled into the heater while not in operation. This can create a situation where freezing might occur within the heater. Please consult a professional for a properly designed venting solution or contact Marey Heater Corp.

AIR INTAKE PIPE ASSEMBLY (please review – this is template)

Drill 2 small holes at the end of the air intake pipe.
Slide the pipe over the air intake terminal.
Using a level, ensure the pipe is straight up and down.
With self tapping screws, attach the pipe to the air intake terminal.
Apply a bead of silicone around the pipe and air intake terminal, ensuring an air tight connection.

EXHAUST VENT PIPE ASSEMBLY (please review – this is template

Use manufacturer’s universal adapter to connect the vent pipe to the unit.
Follow the manufacturer’s vent pipe assembly guidelines and sample diagrams below.
Please use UL certified stainless steel vent pipe as per the standard UL 1738 and ULC S636-BH

For clearances not specified in ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, one of the following shall be indicated:

a minimum clearance value determined by testing in accordance with Clause 5.21, Draft hoods; or
a reference to the following footnote:

“Clearance in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.”
A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is located between two single family dwellinas and serves both dwellinas
Permitted only if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of two sides beneath the floor.

Notes

In accordance with the current ANSI 2223.1/NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code.
In accordance with the current CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

TERMINATION DETAILS

Determine the number of elbows of 90 degrees that will be used in the evacuation system (two elbows of 45 degrees being considered as a single elbow of 90 degrees)
Refer to the table below to determine the maximum length in function of the number of elbows. For example: If you have only one elbow. the maximum length will be 21 ft (6.4m).

RACCORDEMENT

Vertical Terminations
The air intake requires a return bend or two 90 elbows to prevent entry of rain. The vent termination and air intake must be in the same pressure zone.

Horizontal Terminations
The air intake must be located in relation to the exhaust as shown below. The air intake must angle 1/4 inch per foot to the termination to prevent entry of rain.
