larger in diameter than vent pipe.
• Boiler installed with single wall vent, must have 6”
clearance between its surface and any combustible
material. New Type B gas vent or fl exible liner must be
installed in accordance with instructions furnished with
vent. Maintain clearances as specifi ed for vent pipe.
• Verify vent pipe is fi re-stopped where it goes through
fl oor or ceiling. It should have approved vent cap with
clearances from roof. If clearances are less than shown
in have vent checked by local authorities. See Figure 7,
Page 11.
• Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural
