INSTALLATION

SFC COMBI BOILERS  SFC-99, SFC-125

For side venting of multiple unit sets, group all intake terminals together with 6" 

(minimum) lateral spacing, and similarly group the exhaust pipes. Place the 2 

groups on the same plane of the building (e.g., north facing wall). Place the 2 

groups of pipes at least 3' apart (the closest intake and exhaust pipes must be 

36" - or more – apart). Use same 12" (minimum) vertical separation (see A in 

Figure 12). Alternatively, as long as the units are identical models - intake and 

exhaust terminals can maintain a minimum of 12" of separation horizontally from 

any exhaust or inlet termination of an adjacent unit (see B in Figure 12). For 

alternative group terminations, contact the IBC Factory for written guidance.

Concentric Side Wall Termination Kits 

Installation of multiple Concentric Side Wall Termination kits:

 On the same horizontal line (not stacked)

• 

With a minimum vertical separation of 12” center to center

Use caution when installing Concentric Side Wall Termination kits when the outdoor 

design temperature is below 5°F / -15°C. Possible blockage of the combustion air 

intake increases when the outdoor temperature drops below this temperature.
Approved Concentric Side Wall Termination Kits are listed below:  (Alternative 

vent termination kits must be submitted to IBC for approval prior to installation.)

  Centrotherm – Innoflue #ICWT242 (2” termination) + ICTC0224 (2” transition 

to 2 pipe)

  Centrotherm – Innoflue #ICWT352 (3” termination) + ICTC0335 (3” transition 

to 2 pipe)

  Duravent – Polypro #3PPS-HK – Horizontal Termination Kit – Concentric

  Ipex #197006 – 3" PVC Concentric Termination kit

  Ipex #197009 – 3" CPVC Concentric Termination kit
