WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

Installers and operating personnel MUST, at all times, observe all safety regulations.

The following general warnings and cautions must be given the same attention as speciﬁc pre-

cautions included in these instructions. In addition to all the requirements included in this In-

struction Manual, the installation of units MUST conform with local building codes, or, in the ab-

sence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-54). Where

ASME CSD-1 is required by local jurisdiction, the installation must conform to CSD-1.

Where applicable, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation

Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CGA B149, and applicable Provincial regula-

tions for the class; which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction

should be consulted before installations are made.

The following terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of poten-

tial hazards or to important information concerning the product.

General Requirements

Pre-Installation Items

General Requirements

Installation of the vent/air system must com-

ply with local codes and requirements and

with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54,

ANSI Z223.1 for installations in the U.S. For

Installations in Canada, the installation must

comply with CSA B149.1 or B149.2.

Use ONLY Esteem Concentric Vent/Air System

Kit (P/N 39103) and components (see figure 3)

from AERCO International. Do not mix compo-

nents or joining methods from other sources.

WARNING!

DONOT MIX VENT COMPONENTS OR JOINING

METHODS FROM ANY OTHER VENT MANUFAC-

TURER WITH AERCO INTERNATIONAL’SES-

TEEM CONCENTRIC VENT/AIR SYSTEM. FAILURE

TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT COULD

CAUSE VENT FAILURE RESULTING IN LEAKAGE OF

FLUE PRODUCTS INTO THE LIVING SPACE OF THE

BUILDING.

WARNING!

DONOT CONNECT MORE THAN ASINGLE BOILER

INTO THE VENT/AIR SYSTEM.

All penetrations of the vent/air system through

ceilings, floors or walls must be properly fire

stopped. Check with local codes and require-

ments regarding fire stops and vent penetra-

tions.

The vent/air system must not penetrate or be

routed through any active vent system or chim-

ney.

Vent/Air System Kit Components

Prior to installation of the vent/air system check

to ensure all parts required for the comple-

tion of the system are present. See Figure 1

for complete breakdown of concentric vent/

air system kit parts and Figure 3, for optional

components.

Vent/Air System Clearance Requirements

Vent/Air System Installation

Vent/Air System Clearance

Requirements

The vent/air system may maintain zero clear-

ance to combustible & non-combustible materi-

als.

Determine Termination Location

1. The maximum equivalent length of the

concentric vent/air system should not

exceed 100Ft (excluding the termination).

For each 90º elbow in the system, the

equivalent length is reduced by 10 feet.

For each 45º elbow in the system, the

equivalent length is reduced by 5 feet.

2. The installer must consider the following

when determining the location of the vent/

air system termination:

• Avoid areas where flue vapors may dam-

age surrounding shrubs, plants or air

conditioning equipment or be objection-

able to the end user.

• Avoid areas where the condensate

plume of the flue products could

obstruct window views.

• Avoid areas where prevailing winds

could cause a buildup of water/ice in the

combustion air inlet due to freezing of

flue condensate.

• Avoid locations with possibility of expo-

sure of persons or pets to flue vapors.

• Avoid locations where prevailing winds

cause recirculation of the flue gases,

such as inside corners of buildings or

near adjacent buildings or vertical sur-

faces, window wells, stairwells, alcoves,

courtyards, or other recessed areas.

• Do not terminate above any doors or

windows; flue condensate could freeze

causing ice formations.

• Locate or guard the termination to pre-

vent possible condensate damage to

exterior finishes.

3. Maintain the following clearances to the

termination:

• At least 3 feet from adjacent walls

• No closer than 3 feet below roof over-

hangs

• At least 7 feet above any public walk-

ways

• At least 3 feet above any forced air

intake (does not include the combustion

air inlet) within 10 feet.

• At least 4 feet from any electric meters,

gas meters, gas meter-regulators, relief

valves or other equipment. Never termi-

nate above or below any of these items

within 4 feet horizontally.

• Must maintain 12-inch clearances below

and horizontally from doors and win-

dows.

• Air intake must terminate at least 12

inches above grade or anticipated snow

line as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 4: Termination Clearances of Direct Vent

Systems

GF-125V

Boiler Vent /Air System Adapter

• Termination must not extend more than

9-1/2 inches beyond the exterior wall as

shown in Figure 5.

4. Horizontal or vertical runs of the vent/air

system must be supported at every joint.

Use the Hanging Clamp (P/N 39108) or

perforated metal strap hangers or equiva-

lent to support the piping.

5. The vent/air system must terminate using

the horizontal termination supplied in the

kit.

6. The vent/air system must be pitched back

to the boiler at minimum 5/8 inch per foot

on any horizontal runs.

Boiler Vent /Air System Adapter

Install boiler vent/air system adapter over the

boiler vent and air outlets. Secure the vent/air

system adapter using the band clamps found

on the vent and air adapters of the boiler.

NOTICE

Ensure Vent/Air System Adapter is

properly oriented over the boiler adapt-

ers. The concentric outlet of the adapter

should be installed toward the top left

side of the boiler.

Vent/Air System Joint Assembly

1. When installing the vent system, the

female end of the pipe or fitting should

face up or away from the boiler.

2. Prior to assembly of any piping or fittings

ensure the inner pipe gasket seal is pres-

ent, undamaged and properly seated in

the groove of the pipe.

3. Moisten the gasket seal with clean water.

Insert and rotate the male end of the inner

pipe into the female end of the previous

pipe section.

NOTICE

To aid in the assembly of the pipes and

ﬁttings use only clean water to moisten

the gasket and the mating end of the

pipe. Use a twisting motion as the pipe

ends are pressed together.

4. Push the sections together firmly until the

outer jacket bead of the new section has

made contact with the edge of the female

end of the previous section. When fully

assembled, the outer female end of the

previous section will overlap the male end

by approximately 1”.

5. Use 2 self-drilling screws provided to

secure the outer sections together where

they overlap. Install screws 90º apart from

one another. No pre-drilling is required.

WARNING!

DONOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SELF-DRILLING

SCREWS. USE ALOW TORQUE SCREW DRIVE

TO PREVENT STRIPPING OUT THE HOLES. IFA

HOLE BECOMES STRIPPED, ALARGER DIAMETER

SCREW NO LONGER THAN 1/2” OR ASHORT POP

RIVET MAY BE USED.

6. Seal the two components together by

placing a clamp over the connection and

pressing down on the clamp lever. The

clamp should be centered over the con-

nection and the edge of the clamp should

cover the beads on the end of each com-

ponent. If the clamp does not cover and

lock onto the component jacket beads,

ensure the components are fully pressed

together and interlocked

WARNING!

ITIS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CLAMP BE

PROPERLY INSTALLED. FAILURE TO PROPERLY

CONNECT THE VENT COMPONENTS COULD LEAD

TO VENT FAILURE AND CAN RESULT IN DEATH,

SERIOUS INJURY OR SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY

DAMAGE.
