Requirements for installation in Canada

1.Installations must be made with a vent pipe system certified to ULC-S636.

2.The first three (3) feet of plastic vent pipe from the appliance flue outlet must be readily accessible for visual inspection.

3.The components of the certified vent system must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe/fittings. For concentric vent installations, the inner vent tube must be replaced with field supplied certifiedvent material to comply with this requirement.

4.The 2" and 3" Concentric Vent Kits available from Lochinvar (see Section 4 – Sidewall Termination – Optional Concentric Vent) and the 2" and 3" Concentric Vent Kits available from IPEX are approved for use on the Knight wall mount boiler. Both kits are listed to the ULC-S636 standard for use in Canada.

Sizing

The Knight boiler uses model specific combustion air intake and vent piping sizes as detailed in Table 3A below.

Installation & Operation Manual

Note: The minimum combustion air and vent piping length is 12 equivalent feet.

When determining equivalent combustion air and vent length, add 5 feet for each 90° elbow and 3 feet for each 45° elbow.

EXAMPLE: 20 feet of PVC pipe + (4) 90° elbows + (2) 45° elbows + (1) concentric vent kit (CVK3003) = 49 equivalent feet of piping.

NOTICE

The appliance output rating will reduce

by up to 1.5% for each 25 feet of vent

*￿ WARNING

NOTICE

For Models 55, 85, and 110 using 2" venting and Model 285 using 3" venting, the first seven (7) equivalent feet of vent must be CPVC (field supplied). This includes any transition piece used to increase or decrease the vent diameter.

Increasing or decreasing combustion air or vent piping sizes is not authorized.
