Special Venting Requirements for Installations in Canada
Installation in Canada must conform to the requirements of CSA
B149 code. Vent systems
must
be composed of pipe, fittings,
cements, and primers listed to ULC S636. The special vent
fittings and accessory concentric vent termination kits and
accessory external drain trap have been certified to ULC S636 for
use with those IPEX PVC vent components which have been
certified to this standard. In Canada, the primer and cement must
be of the same manufacturer as the vent system -- *IPEX System
636
t
, PVC/CPVC Primer, Purple Violet for Flue Gas Venting
and IPEX System 636, PVC Cement for Flue Gas Venting, rated
Class IIA, 65 deg C. must be used with this venting system -- do
not mix primers and cements from one manufacturer with a vent
system from a different manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions in the use of primer and cement and never use primer
or cement beyond its expiration date.
*IPEX System 636™ is a trademark of IPEX Inc.
The safe operation, as defined by ULC S636, of the vent system
and this external vent trap kit is based on following these
installation instructions, the vent system manufacturer’s
installation instructions, and proper use of primer and cement.
All fire stop and roof flashing used with this system must be UL
listed material. Acceptability under Canadian standard CSA
B149 is dependent upon full compliance with all installation
instructions. Under this standard, it is recommended that the vent
system be checked once a year by qualified service personnel.
The authority having jurisdiction (gas inspection authority,
municipal building department, fire department, etc) should be
consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a
permit.
