5 Vertical direct venting

Prepare roof penetrations (continued)

3.Space the air and vent holes to provide the minimum spacing shown in FIG. 5-1A, page 29.

4.Follow all local codes for isolation of vent pipe when passing through floors, ceilings, and roofs.

5.Provide flashing and sealing boots sized for the vent pipe and air pipe.

Multiple vent/air terminations

1.When terminating multiple Knight wall mount boilers, terminate each vent/air connection as described in this manual (FIG. 5-2).

￿WARNING Terminate all vent pipes at the same height and all air pipes at the same height to

avoid possibility of severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

2.Place roof penetrations to obtain minimum clearance of 12 inches between edge of air intake elbow and adjacent vent pipe of another boiler for U.S. installations (see FIG. 5-2). For Canadian installations, provide clearances required by CSA B149.1 Installation Code.

3.The air inlet of a Knight wall mount boiler is part of a direct vent connection. It is not classified as a forced air intake with regard to spacing from adjacent boiler vents.

Installation & Operation Manual

Vertical termination – optional concentric vent

Description and usage

Lochinvar offers an optional concentric combustion air and vent pipe termination kit. Both combustion air and vent pipes must attach to the termination kit. The termination kit must terminate outside the structure and must be installed as shown in FIG. 5-4.

Field supplied pipe and fittings are required to complete the installation.

The required combustion air and vent pipe fittings are listed in Table 3D, on page 19 of this manual.

Vertical termination installation

1.See Section 5, Vertical Direct Venting - Determine Location (where applicable).

Figure 5-4Concentric Vertical Termination

Figure 5-5Do Not Install U-Bend to Rain Cap

2.Cut one (1) hole (5 inch diameter for #CVK3003 installations or 4 inch diameter for #CVK3008 installations) into the structure to install the termination kit.

3.Partially assemble the concentric vent termination kit. Clean and cement following the cleaning procedures in these instructions.

a.Cement the Y concentric fitting to the larger diameter kit pipe (see FIG. 4-7, page 26).

b.Cement rain cap to the smaller diameter kit pipe (see FIG. 4-7, page 26).
