CS & CS Plus Boiler Stacks

Van-Packer Co.’s CS & CS Plus boiler stacks were specifically designed for special gas venting applications. They have been tested and listed by UL 1738 for venting systems in the following categories: II, III, IV, or in Canada, type BH gas vent. The CS model can be used with appliances that burn natural gas or propane.

The CS (CM) & CS Plus boiler stacks’ standard features include:

  • 4″ I.D to 36″ air space and tested up to 550 ℉ (228 °C) and 5″ water column positive pressure.
  • The flue is capable of being installed in either interior or exterior installations, 2″ clearance to combustibles, with 0″ clearance to non-combustibles.

Van-Packer Co.’s Model CS is identified by the (CM) designation in part identification numbers. An accessory collar (spot welded) has been added to one side (male end) the flange. This allows for an easy connection, especially for larger diameters.

Designation “CM”

Why Van-Packer CO. Uses the Term “CM”

The prefix “CM” lets the factory know that this Model CS part requires a male end collar.

 

Why The Van-Packer Co. Offers the Male End Collar

  • The Male End collar aids in alignment making the Model CS a user-friendly product.
  • The male end collar serves as a guide when applying sealant to flange.
    While the two sections are being assembled, the male end collar protects sealant from smearing.

Testing and Applications

Special gas vents CS (with 1″ to 4″ fiber insulation), and CSplus (1″ of airspace) have been tested according to the procedures and methods set forth in UL1738 / UL S636 (Venting Systems For Gas Burning Appliances, Category II, III, &IV). The models CS and CSplus can be used to vent appliances that burn propane or natural gas. These vents can be used with positive, negative and positive vent pressures (40 inch water column maximum positive pressure) and have a maximum operating temperature at 550°F (288°C). These vents can be used in interior and exterior installations.

 

Listing and Code Compliance

Van-Packer’s Model CS and CSplus special gas vents are listed by Underwriters Laboratories file MH45778 as a “Special Gas Vent” in the United States and as a “Type BH Vent” in Canada when installed in accordance with local and national code requirements and our installation instructions.

Installation Considerations of Van-Packer Co., Boiler Stacks

Every part of the vent system should be correctly assembled and installed. Incorrect or inadvertent installation could result in the malfunction of the vent system. It is important to follow all local and national codes when installing the vent system.

Vent layouts should be planned carefully to provide enough space for assembly, support installation, connection of supports, and accommodate standard fitting dimensions.

You should not assume that all equipment in a facility can exhaust with one system. Verify compatibility between the equipment and the vapors being vented. Also, check draft requirements. Check with the respective providers.

Consult a design professional as required. For installations that are exposed to weather, a primer coat is recommended and a finish coat of the appropriate paint is recommended.

Sealing draw bands, overlapped, or butted seams. For installations that are exposed to the elements, a suitable sealant is recommended to prevent moisture from entering between the liner and duct shell.
