hey it's mark from supply house calm and
00:00:02.510 00:00:02.520 in this video we're going to talk about
00:00:03.830 00:00:03.840 exhaust gas venting for boilers and
00:00:06.800 00:00:06.810 water heaters for gas and oil powered
00:00:09.470 00:00:09.480 boilers and water heaters you need to
00:00:11.270 00:00:11.280 select the venting system that will work
00:00:13.039 00:00:13.049 in your home chimney vented units vent
00:00:15.230 00:00:15.240 exhaust naturally through a chimney
00:00:16.970 00:00:16.980 power vent and direct then use fans to
00:00:19.370 00:00:19.380 push exhaust through vent pipes and can
00:00:21.410 00:00:21.420 usually be vented either vertically
00:00:23.060 00:00:23.070 through a roof or horizontally through a
00:00:24.950 00:00:24.960 sidewalk some direct vent water heaters
00:00:27.290 00:00:27.300 don't actually need fans the difference
00:00:29.599 00:00:29.609 between power and direct vent is that
00:00:31.580 00:00:31.590 direct vent units pull intake combustion
00:00:33.830 00:00:33.840 air from outdoors and can be placed in
00:00:35.840 00:00:35.850 any room while power vent units use air
00:00:38.060 00:00:38.070 from inside and can only be installed in
00:00:40.310 00:00:40.320 open rooms and cannot be put in type
00:00:42.319 00:00:42.329 closets or crawl spaces direct vent
00:00:44.510 00:00:44.520 units can either use a concentric vent
00:00:46.400 00:00:46.410 so only one wall penetration is needed
00:00:48.770 00:00:48.780 or separate intake and exhaust pipes
00:00:51.020 00:00:51.030 some boilers and select few water
00:00:53.360 00:00:53.370 heaters have condensing style venting
00:00:55.189 00:00:55.199 and are highly efficient these units
00:00:57.229 00:00:57.239 however have special venting
00:00:58.580 00:00:58.590 requirements due to the acidity of the
00:01:00.439 00:01:00.449 condensate they produce they use direct
00:01:02.569 00:01:02.579 venting and work with PVC vent pipe due
00:01:04.850 00:01:04.860 to the lower exhaust temperatures for
