Installation & Operation Manual

General

venting

(continued)

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 certified vent

material to comply with this requirement.

4. The 2", 3" and 4" Concentric Vent Kit available from

Lochinvar (see Section 4 –

Sidewall Termination – Optional

Concentric

Vent

) and the 2", 3" and 4" Concentric Vent Kit

available from IPEX are both approved for use on the

Knight Wall Hung Fire Tube boiler. Both kits are listed to

the ULC-S636 standard for use in Canada.

Table 3A Air Intake/Vent Piping Sizes

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

NOTICE

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 (100269005) = 49
equivalent feet of piping.

For Models 56 - 111 using 2" venting
and Model 286 using 3" venting, the first
seven (7) equivalent feet of vent must be
CPVC or polypropylene (field supplied).
This includes any transition piece used to
increase or decrease the vent diameter.

NOTICE

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

NOTICE

The appliance output rating will reduce
by up to 2.3% for each 25 feet of vent
length. Consult factory to determine
de-rate values.
