Inspect finished vent and air piping thoroughly to ensure all are airtight and comply with the instructions provided and

￿WARNING

For models 50 - 105 when transitioning from 2 to 3 inch vent diameter, a 2" pipe section and 2" to 3" increaser are required to be CPVC when PVC/CPVC vent is used.

For installations using 2" vent, the first seven (7) equivalent feet of vent must be CPVC (field supplied). See examples below.

NOTICE

￿WARNING

Use only the materials listed in Table 3A for vent pipe, and fittings. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

Installation must comply with local requirements and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 for U.S. installations or CSA B149.1 for Canadian installations.

For closet and alcove installations, CPVC or stainless steel material MUST BE used in a closet/alcove structure. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

All PVC vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of a 1/4 inch per foot back to the boiler (to allow drainage of condensate).

This appliance requires a special venting system. The vent connection to the appliance must be made with the starter

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

IPEX is an approved vent manufacturer in Canada supplying vent material listed 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.

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.

￿CAUTION Improper installation of PVC or CPVC systems may result in injury or death.

with the intended vent manufacturer to be used and discard the CPVC starter piece. The field provided vent fittings must be cemented to the CPVC pipe section using an “All Purpose Cement” suitable for PVC and CPVC pipe. Use only the vent materials, primer, and cement specified in this manual to make the vent connections. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

1.Work from the boiler to vent or air termination. Do not exceed the lengths given in this manual for the air or vent piping.

2.Cut pipe to the required lengths and deburr the inside and outside of the pipe ends.

3.Chamfer outside of each pipe end to ensure even cement distribution when joining.

4.Clean all pipe ends and fittings using a clean dry rag. (Moisture will retard curing and dirt or grease will prevent adhesion.)
