Installation & Operation Manual
Requirements for installation in
Canada
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.
Minimum / Maximum allowable
combustion air and vent piping lengths
are as follows:
Combustion Air
= 12 equivalent feet minimum / 100
equivalent feet maximum
Vent
= 12 equivalent feet minimum / 100 equivalent feet
maximum
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° (2)
45° (1) concentric vent kit (CVK3003) = 49
equivalent feet of piping.
The appliance output rating will reduce
by up to 1.5% for each 25 feet of vent
length.
