Vertical direct venting
(continued)
Vertical termination – optional concentric vent: Models 151 - 601
Description and usage
Lochinvar offers an optional concentric combustion air and
vent pipe termination kit. Both combustion air and vent
pipes must attach to the termination kit. The termination kit
must terminate outside the structure and must be installed as
shown in FIG. 5-4.
Field supplied pipe and fittings are required to complete the
installation.
The required combustion vent pipe and fittings are listed in
Table 3A, on page 19 of this manual.
Vertical termination installation
1. See Section 5, Vertical Direct Venting - Determine
Location (where applicable).
Instead of cementing the smaller pipe to
the rain cap, a field supplied stainless steel
screw may be used to secure the two (2)
components together when field disassembly
is desired for cleaning (see FIG. 4-12, page
29).
When using the alternate screw assembly
method, drill a clearance hole in the rain
cap and a pilot hole in the vent pipe for
the screw size being used. Failure to drill
adequate holes may cause cracking of PVC
components, allowing combustion products
to be recirculated. Failure to follow this
warning could result in personal injury or
death.
2. Cut one (1) hole (5 inch diameter for #CVK3003 installations
or 7 inch diameter for #CVK3007 installations) into the
structure to install the termination kit.
3. Partially assemble the concentric vent termination kit.
Clean and cement following the cleaning procedures in
these instructions.
a. Cement the Y concentric fitting to the larger
diameter kit pipe (see FIG.’s 4-8 and 4-9, page 28).
b. Cement rain cap to the smaller diameter kit pipe (see
FIG.’s 4-8 and 4-9, page 28).
c. Do not attach a U-Bend to the rain cap. Doing so
could cause recirculation (see FIG. 5-5).
