RIVA PLUS MANUAL 19
9. Venting Cont.
The Riva is a mechanical draft, side wall vented boiler. There are two fl ue options
available - separate and coaxial. The coaxial option has one confi guration shown
on the next page. The separate option has two possible confi gurations shown on
the following pages.
9.1 Restrictor Sizing:
Each exhaust option is shipped standard with 3 feet of exhaust pipe, 3 feet of in-
take air pipe. There is also a restrictor kit in which there are some restrictors that
must be placed in exhauset breech of fan on the top of the boiler (Fig. 9.1) accor-
ding to the fl ue confuguration used.
If additional fl ue piping is needed for a particular application, it can be ordered
separately in 3 foot increments. Dependin on th efi nal fl ue pipe lenght, an alter-
native restrictor may be required. Refer to the tables 9.1 for proper restrictor ring
sizing.
Separate 3.25/3.25 Restrictor Size
From 3.30 to 49.2 ft (in+out) 45
From 49.2 to 99 ft (in+out) No restrictor
Coaxial 2.5/4.0 Restrictor Size
From 0 to 2.9 ft 82
From 2.9 to 9 ft No restrictor
Table 9.1
9.2 Fitting the fl ue system:
In general, it has to be taken in consideration that the horizontal section of the
fl ue pipe must have a slope not less than .3 inches per foot towards the boiler.
In the standard horzontal fl ue kit the fl ue pipe is angled with in the air duct
therefore the air duct must be horizontally installed. If one or more exstensions
have to be used they must be adequately supported so that there is no sag in the
fl ue pipe and a minimum fall of .3 inches per foot toward the boiler is ensured.
