Combustion Air Inlet and Venter Outlet Connection Requirements

  • Combustion air inlet connection on unit sizes 30, 45, and 60: when using 3-inch diameter pipe, a 3- to 4-inch (76- to 102-mm) taper-type increaser is required at the inlet air collar.
  • Venter outlet connection on unit sizes 30, 45, and 60: when using 3-inch diameter pipe, a 4- to 3-inch (102- to 76- mm) taper-type reducer is required at the venter outlet—for category III, attach a 4-inch appliance adapter from a category III pipe manufacturer directly to the collar and then use a reducer if using 3-inch pipe.
  • Both heater connections on unit sizes 200, 225, 250, 300, 350, and 400: require a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) of straight pipe at both heater connections.

Table 4.  Combustion Air Inlet and Venter Outlet Connection Sizes

Connection Diameter (Inches (mm))
Venter outlet| 4 (102)| 5 (127)| 6 (152)
Combustion air inlet collar| 6 (152)

NOTES:

  • All separated-combustion units require a concentric adapter box designed to allow both combustion air and venting. The unique concentric adapter assembly required with this heater allows for both combustion air and exhaust piping with only one horizontal or vertical penetration hole in the building.
  • The concentric adapter box is included in the vent/combustion air terminal kit. Components and instructions depend on whether the vent terminal is horizontal (option CC6) or vertical (option CC2).
  • Horizontal and vertical kits do not use the same adapter box. The only difference is the diameter of the opening in the box for the vent pipe. On commercial/industrial installations, a vertical vent requires double-wall pipe and a slightly larger opening through the box.
  • Figure 3 shows a typical concentric adapter box and its airflow.

DANGER
To prevent combustion products from entering the occupied space, all vent terminals must be positioned or located away from fresh air intakes, doors, and windows. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.
Consider local snow depth conditions. The vent must be at least 6 inches (152 mm) above the anticipated snow depth.

  1. Determine vent terminal location on roof:
    If more than one vertical vent terminal is being installed, minimum spacing between vent center lines is determined by minimum outdoor design temperature (coldest outdoor condition at installation site). Refer to Table 8 to ensure that location complies with minimum outdoor design temperature requirements.
    Select location away from fresh air intakes, allowing space for concentric adapter box inside. Vent terminal must be located away from adjacent buildings as shown in Figure 8.

DOOR SAFE SWITCH MAINTENANCE
The door safe switch prevents the heater from operating when the access door panel is open. If it is determined that the interlock door switch needs replacing, use only a factory-authorized replacement part that is designed for the heater.

CAUTION
Verify that the door safe switch operates when opening the access door panel. While a temporary bypass of the switch may be required for troubleshooting, always return the switch to normal operation once troubleshooting is complete. Do not permanently bypass the switch.
