KN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR VENT AND AIR PIPING

Vent and air piped through a side wall 

(concentric termination)

Vent and air system components

Read before proceeding

 

The vent piping operates with positive pressure

. Th e vent 

piping must be completely sealed and securely supported.

 

Use only the vent components listed in this manual

. Use 

of any other materials could result in vent system failure.

 

Exposed vent pipe poses a potential burn hazard to people and 
pets. Insulate or shield the pipe where necessary to prevent risk.

 

Never drill through, or install screws into

, the vent pipe or 

vent components.

 

Seal test hole with high temperature silicone aft er  each 
combustion test and annual inspection to prevent gases and 
condensation from leaking during appliance operation.

 

Failure to properly install the vent piping could result in fl ue 
gas leakage, causing possible severe personal injury, death or 
substantial property damage.

 

Code compliance

 — Follow all applicable local codes when 

installing the vent system. Where codes diff er from this 
manual, follow code requirements. Contact Hydrotherm if you 
have any questions regarding the installation.

  Terminate the vent and air piping following the guidelines 

in this manual. Avoid vent termination locations likely to be 
aff ected by winds, snowdrift s, people and pets. Protect building 
materials and vegetation from degradation caused by the fl ue 
gases and condensation.

(see Figure 19)

1 — Boiler vent connection

 

Th e vent connection at the boiler is for Heat-Fab EZ-Seal vent piping only. 

 

EZ-Seal vent att achment 

               

Insert EZ-Seal pipe male end into the boiler connection 

(Do not cover 

combustion test port)

. Make sure the locking tabs slide under the EZ-Seal 

locking ring. Bend back locking tabs to complete the joint. Follow EZ-Seal 
instructions to complete the vent piping installation.

Th e concentric vent/air termination must be done only with Saf-T Vent type SC 
vent components. Th is requires that all of the vent piping be Saf-T Vent EZ-Seal for 
compatibility. DO NOT apply this vent/air termination option using any other 
vent materials.
