Connections
Venting Connection
Safety inspection of existing venting system
When existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation:
H Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 latest edition. When resizing, any portion of the common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined, using the appropriate tables in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.
H Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
H Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or any other deficiency which could cause an unsafe condition.
H Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows, and all doors between the space in which the appliances remain connected to the common venting system, and other spaces of the building. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
H Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the Lighting and
Operating Instructions. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
H Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or a candle.
H After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers, as well as any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
WARNING
Improper sizing, maintenance, termination of vent or chimney can cause flue gases to enter living space. Any blockage of vent or chimney by birds’ nests, ice, snow, debris, or other materials can cause flue gases to enter living space. Flue gases entering living space can cause carbon monoxide poisoning which can result in severe personal injury or loss of life.
Installation of boiler venting
The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible. The vent connection must be made in the shortest possible way with minimum elbows. If necessary, rearrange existing water piping to achieve closest chimney connection.
When the vertical pipe becomes the chimney itself, the weight must not be supported by the horizontal to vertical draft hood on the boiler.
Avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe.
Horizontal runs must be supported by appropriate means to prevent sagging.
Horizontal runs should have no less than ¼” rise per ft. from the boiler to the vent terminal and must be properly insulated to reduce cooling of flue gas.
Metal strapping must be used to support horizontal runs every 4 ft. /
1.2 m.
Use approved vent material only.
The vent connector of this boiler must not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure.
Based upon proper chimney and breeching size, the boiler may be vented into a chimney/breeching with a direct-fired (atmospheric-fired) gas water heater. Observe national codes, local rules and regulations.
Terminate venting system outside with approved termination at least 6 ft. / 1.8
m above boiler. Vent pipe must extend at least 3 ft. / 0.9 m above the point where it passes through the roof. Vent termination must be at least 2 ft. /
0.6 m higher than any portion of the building within 10 ft. / 3 m horizontal, and vent termination must be at least 2 ft. / 0.6 m higher than roof peaks within
10 ft. / 3 m horizontal.
Down draft and condensation problems must be corrected.
Installation of side wall vent system
A side wall power vent system can be ordered from Viessmann. This package includes the appropriate power venter, vent terminal, and adaptor fittings for each Vitogas 100, GS1 boiler model, as well as installation instructions.
The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 and as detailed in the Side
Wall Vent System Installation
Instructions. Observe and follow these instructions carefully.
WARNING
When the side wall vent system is used, the vent damper MUST NOT be installed.

Chimney Blocked vent and flame roll-out safety switch
A corrosion-resistant approved liner must be installed in masonry or unlined chimneys. The liner should be insulated to prevent condensation of flue gas in cold weather.
Before connection boiler to existing chimney, inspect chimney for inside and outside conditions. Repair or replace immediately if any leaks or other defects are found in the vent system.
To avoid chimney condensation, proper consideration must be given to shortest possible vent connection, type of vent, and chimney size.
The blocked vent switch is located at the back of the boiler in the draft hood.
In the event of a complete vent blockage, the spill switch heats up and interrupts 24 V to the gas control shutting down the burner. The switch requires a manual reset by pushing in the red button. If the switch activates, the vent system must be checked inside and out and the blockage or defect corrected by a qualified heating contractor before boiler is put back in operation.
In replacement installations where the previous boiler experienced chimney or vent condensation problems, the
Vitogas 100, GS1 must be installed as close as possible to the vertical chimney (relocate water piping if necessary), and the liner must be insulated. These measures will help reduce the likelihood of chimney or vent flue gas condensation.
The flame roll-out switch is located in the burner area. In the event of blockage of the cast-iron flue ways inside the boiler, hot gases will cause the switch to open, shutting down the burner. The heat exchanger must be thoroughly examined and cleaned by a qualified heating contractor before the boiler is put back into operation. The switch requires a manual reset by pushing the red button when the switch has sufficiently cooled.
IMPORTANT
When installing piping or venting, or while insulating overhead pipes, do not stand on top panel of boiler. Advise other trades accordingly!
Vitogas
Never operate the boiler without an installed venting system which safely vents all products of combustion to the outdoors. The vent system must comply with all applicable local and/or national codes.
Vitogas boilers are Category I boilers as defined in ANSI Z21.13. Boiler category does not apply when boiler is vented through the wall with optional power venter.
Refer to natural draft venting tables in
CSA B149.1 and .2 (Canada) and ANSI
Z223.1 (USA) for every installation for proper vent diameter. Depending on the lateral and vertical vent lengths, the vent diameter may have to be increased to a size larger than the vent connector on the draft hood.
IMPORTANT
In either of the above functions, do not operate the boiler without the blocked vent or flame roll-out safety switch(es).
Advise the system operator/ultimate owner to contact a qualified heating contractor for service immediately.
Some retrofit installations may require an engineered vent system specific to the project site.
The boiler draft hood must not be altered or modified in the field.

Vent damper installation
If boiler is sold with a vent damper
(packaged separately), the vent damper must be installed on the boiler to meet minimum efficiency standards.
The vent damper must be field installed on the boiler. Read the vent damper manufacturer’s instructions before installing the vent damper.
The closing and opening action of the vent damper is driven by a motor.
Spring action is not used to move the vent damper blade. Do not force vent damper blade by hand. Forcing the vent damper blade by hand will damage the motor. To observe the vent damper blade movement, turn thermostat up and down after vent damper has been installed. Vent damper blade must be in open position when burner is firing.
The vent damper must be installed as illustrated below. Ensure that damper blade rotates freely and is not obstructed in any way. Read and save the vent damper manufacturer’s instructions packaged with the vent

damper.
1. Review step 4 in subsection entitled
“Boiler wiring” on page 11.
Should the vent damper become defective:
2. Attach Molex female connector of vent damper cable to counter male connector on vent damper motor.
Use supplied plastic strain relief on vent damper cable and metallic strain relief on vent damper motor to secure the cable.
1. Follow the vent damper manufacturer’s instructions to leave the vent damper in the “Service” or
“Hold Open Damper” (Effikal) mode by using the service switch on the damper motor. Vent damper blade should stay open and boiler should operate normally.
There are no serviceable parts on the vent damper. Defective vent dampers must be replaced.
If a side wall vent system is used, the vent damper must not be installed.
Refer to separate side wall vent system instructions for series boiler. The side wall vent system must be purchased separately.
2. If the procedure described above does not work, remove vent damper, install transitional piece of vent pipe, disconnect and remove vent damper cable from the 120 V / 24 V relay module assembly. Connect jumper to terminals 2 (orange) and 3 (yellow) as illustrated below. Refer to wiring diagrams. Boiler will operate without vent damper.
Sequence of operation with vent damper:
1. Thermostat calls for heat.
Please note:
The “Effikal” damper can be field replaced with a similar size “Field
Controls” damper.
2. Vent damper blade opens.
3. Pilot sparks and ignites.
4. Pilot is proven and main valve is energized.
5. Main burner and pilot will continue to operate until thermostat is satisfied.
Burner may turn off and on in response to the adjustable high limit aquastat setting during call for heat.

Important precautions
Avoid frequent system water replenishment
Oxygen diffusion barrier underfloor tubing
This boiler is not for use in systems where water is constantly or frequently replenished. Minerals such as calcium in make-up water can deposit on the heat exchanger causing overheating, and eventually the boiler will leak. This type of failure is not covered by warranty.
Water must not be drained from system for use by cleaning personnel or be constantly replenished due to inadequately sized expansion tanks, flooded expansion tanks, system leaks, etc.
The boiler warranty does not cover leaks resulting from corrosion caused by the use of underfloor plastic tubing without an oxygen diffusion barrier.
Such systems must have non-oxygen-diffusion barrier tubing separated from the boiler with a heat exchanger. Viessmann recommends the use of underfloor plastic tubing with an oxygen diffusion barrier.
Supply/return bypass for large water content systems
For boilers connected to large water content systems, such as a previous gravity system with large free-standing radiators, a bypass line from the supply pipe to the return pipe can be used.
Bypass can be installed on any system as a preventative measure. Viessmann strongly recommends installing a bypass pipe on all cast iron boilers.
Install bypass as shown in order to prevent condensation from occurring in the heat exchanger when installing the boiler in a large water volume residential system (typically systems with volume > 1 USG/3.8 ltr for every
13 000 Btu/h).
Install supply/return bypass as follows:

Combustion Air Supply
This boiler requires fresh air for safe operation and must be installed ensuring there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can cause poisonous flue gases to enter living space which can cause severe personal injury or loss of life.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made in accordance with applicable local codes.
In the absence of local codes, use
CAN/CSA-B149.1 or .2 Installation
Codes for Gas Burning Appliances for
Canada. For U.S. installations use section 5.3, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1. Always use latest editions of codes.
WARNING
Never cover the boiler or store debris or other materials near the boiler, or in any way block the flow of adequate fresh air to the boiler. Never cover the combustion air opening or put anything inside draft hood. Advise system operator/ ultimate owner accordingly.
Whenever possible, install boiler near an outside wall so that it is easy to duct fresh air directly to the boiler area.
Refer to national codes for duct sizing and allowable lengths. Round ducts can be used.
The boiler location must never be under negative pressure. Exhaust fans, attic fans, or dryer fans may cause air to be exhausted at a rate higher than air can enter the structure for safe combustion.
WARNING
The boiler must not be located in areas or rooms where chemicals are stored, or aggressive vapors (i.e.
bleach, hair spray, methyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride or perchloroethylene) or high dust levels or humidity levels are present. Heat exchanger corrosion might occur and reduce the lifetime of the boiler significantly. If above criteria are not properly observed and boiler damage results, any warranty on the complete boiler and related components will be null and void.
