HEATING APPLIANCE REMOVAL FROM A COMMON VENT SYSTEM
At the time of removal of an existing heating appliance, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remai-
ning connected to the common vent system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the
common vent system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common vent system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage,
corrosion or other deciencies that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance remains con-
nected to the common vent system and other spaces in the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not
connected to the common vent system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the
appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a match or
candle.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents
when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and any other gas burning appliance
to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common vent system should be corrected so the installation conforms to the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
When resizing any portion of the common vent system, the common vent system should be resized to approach the
minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1
CAUTION
• Neveruseautomotiveorstandardglycolantifreeze,evenethyleneglycolmadeforhydronicsystems.Useonly
inhibited propylene glycol solutions, which are specically formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems. Ensure that the glycol used never exceeds
35% of the systems volume as this may damage the systems components.
• Consider piping and installation when determining boiler location. Any claims for damage or shortage in
shipment must be led immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
