Outdoor combustion air kits – chimney venting
The following kit has been certified for use on this appliance. The kit
contains an important safety feature, namely a vacuum relief valve, or
VRV. During normal operation the burner aspirates outdoor air. If the
intake terminal ever becomes partially blocked or fully blocked from
ice or snow etc., the VRV will open to allow a proportion of air from the
dwelling to enter the burner thus maintaining proper combustion. Once
the blockage is removed, the VRV will close and the burner will draw
all air from the outdoors again.
CAS-2B Components (except air duct) for the Beckett AFG burner:
The kit includes the intake terminal, vacuum relief valve (VRV) and
special air boot connection with integral air adjustment means for the
AFG burner. The CAS-2B can be used with a 101.6 mm (4")
galvanized steel air duct or with a 101.6 mm (4") flexible aluminium air
duct. It is recommended that the metallic air ducting material be
insulated from the air intake up to 1.5 m (5') from the burner, to avoid
condensation on the outside of the intake pipe.
CAUTION
The CAS-2B does not turn the furnace installation into a
direct vent system. Therefore, the building structure
must provide for adequate combustion air to be
delivered to the Vacuum Relief Valve. The burner will
need to draw combustion air from the VRV's
surroundings if the intake ever becomes blocked.
Therefore, non-direct vent installation codes must be
followed.
CAD-1
This air duct kit consists of 7.6 m (25') of insulated UL/ULC
Listed Class 1 air duct and two 101.6 mm (4") steel band clamps. The
duct incorporates a corrugated flexible aluminium core, surrounded by
fibreglass insulation and a vinyl vapour barrier.
Comprehensive installation instructions are provided with the kit.
Outdoor combustion air – side-wall venting, DV-2000™
The new DV-2000™ venting system is a sealed system and
completely isolates the furnace from the interior of the building. The
burner is totally unaffected by any pressure fluctuations within the
building which makes it ideal for tight home construction.
The DV-2000 ™ venting system requires additional parts, which are
not included with the kit. These additional parts must be constructed of
3" Schedule 40 PVC, PVC-SWV, SDR-26, SDR-21, Septic Sewer
Pipe, or ABS plastic pipe, fittings and sealant. Also, installation
procedures, piping and fittings must conform to the following ANSI
/ASTM standards:
PVC
SDR26, SDR21
Septic Sewer Pipe
PVC-DWV
PVC Primer and Solvent Cement
ABS Pipe and Fittings
Procedure for Cementing Joints
Additional parts required (not included in VTK kit)
a.
3" elbow fitting as required;
b.
3" plastic pipe;
c.
3" 90° elbow, female-female(for terminal);
d.
3" female to 2 inch female reducer (Riello 40-BF burner only);
e.
2" 90° elbow, street type, female-male (Riello 40-BF burner only);
f.
3" female-female PVC or ABS coupling (not sewer pipe) (Beckett
AFII burner only);
g.
Transition bushings to go from PVC or ABS to ASTM D2729
Septic Sewer Pipe (if applicable).

If PVC fittings are mixed with ABS fittings, use solvent cement that is
approved for bonding the two plastics.
Intake pipe length - DV-2000™
The DV-2000 ™ venting system has been certified for 37 equivalent m
(120 equivalent feet) of 3" intake pipe. Count a 90° elbow as 10
equivalent feet and a 45° elbow as 5 equivalent feet in the calculation.
For example:
1
1.5 m (5') length
= 1.5 equivalent m (5 equiv. feet)
2
3.0 m (10') lengths = 6.0 equivalent m (20 equiv. feet)
3
90° elbows
= 9.0 equivalent m (30 equiv. feet)
2
45° elbows
= 3.0 equivalent m (10 equiv. feet)
1
90° elbow (terminal) = 3.0 equivalent m (10 equiv. feet)
1
90° elbow (Burner) = 3.0 equivalent m (10 equiv. feet)
Total
= 25.5 equivalent m (85 equivalent feet);
this is below the 37 equivalent meters (120 equiv. feet).
Intake pipe installation - DV-2000™
Obtain the necessary additional parts, to complete the installation, and
start by piping at the burner. If the optional vestibule has been
installed, remove the appropriate knockouts in the side panels of the
vestibule. The lower 127.0 mm (5") knockout in the right-hand panel is
used for the Beckett AFII burner. The higher 127.0 mm (5") knockouts
on the right and left-hand panels are for right or left connection to the
Riello 40-BF burner.
Beckett AFII burner
Remove the burner intake cover by removing the 3 screws securing it
in place. Discard the cover and screws. Apply silicone liberally around
the end of a 3" coupling and fully insert the siliconed end into the
burner opening. Fasten securely with 3 self-tapping sheet metal
screws.
Riello 40-BF burner
Fully insert the female end of the 2" 90° street elbow into the
combustion air fitting on top of the burner. Fasten securely with 3 self-
tapping sheet metal screws. Cement the 2" end of the 3" female to the
2" female reducer onto the male end of the 2" 90° street elbow. If
these parts are not easily obtained, use a 3" 90° street elbow with the
male end fitted over the combustion air fitting. The fitting will have to
be silicone sealed as the fit is a bit loose. Fasten securely with 3 self-
tapping sheet metal screws.
Terminal connection
Insert the 3" 90° female-female elbow onto the stainless steel air
intake fitting located on the right side of the vent terminal (viewed from
the rear). Fasten securely with 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws.
Intermediate piping
Pipe as required between the terminal and the burner. Ensure that the
3" piping is routed and supported in accordance with local and
national codes. Obey minimum furnace clearances to combustibles
when routing any section of 3" piping in the vicinity of the furnace. If
Septic Sewer Pipe is to be used, install transition bushings on the 3"
female ends of the fittings at the burner and at the terminal. Transition
bushings are readily available and are required because 3" PVC and
ABS pipes have a typical outside diameter of 3.5", whereas Septic
Sewer Pipe has a typical outside diameter of 3.25".

OIL TANKS AND LINES
Check your local codes for the installation of the tank and accessories.
A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall be installed in sequence
from tank to burner. Be sure that the oil line is clean before connecting
to the burner. The oil line should be protected to eliminate any
possible damage. Installations having the fuel oil tank below burner
level must employ a two pipe fuel supply system with an appropriate
fuel pump. For more than a 2.4 m (8') rise use a 2 stage pump; for
more than a 4.9 m (16') rise, an auxiliary pump.
