Replacement for Field Controls Vents
Ex Maine Doug
Member Posts: 162
Hi Gang. In the continuing saga of my boilers in the bank, I got my new vents from Downeast Sheetmetal. We are using a different approach instead of both exhaust and intake in the same FieldControl vent.
These are stainless units, one for intake and a dual passage unit for exhaust. This way the boilers can get fresh air instead of some of the exhaust gas flowing back into the intake port in the combined standard vent.
So there will be a common large intake pipe and a single pipe exhaust that has a divider built into the pipe. The two stainless exhaust flex pipes from the boilers will connect to two ports in the new exhaust vent. The two intake flex pipes will go to a Y and then thru the building via the new intake.
This would be simpler if the building did not have foot thick brick that had to be core drilled originally. Have to wait for spring to install though since it is a cold winter and not time to shutdown heat sources. Pictures might be a bit slow.
