2. The total length of piping for vent or air must not exceed
the limits given in the General Venting section on page 21 
of this manual.
4. Cut one (1) hole (7 inch (178 mm) diameter for #CVK3007
installations into the structure to install the termination kit.
5. Partially assemble the concentric vent termination kit.
Clean and cement using the procedures found in these 
instructions.
a. Cement the Y concentric fi tting to the larger kit pipe 
 (FIG.

Sidewall termination – optional concentric vent: Models 400 - 601 Only
Description and usage
Lochinvar offers an optional concentric combustion air 
and vent pipe termination kit (#CVK3007 for 4" (102 mm) 
diameter - Models 400 - 601). 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 below in FIG. 4-7. 
Field supplied pipe and fi ttings are required to complete the 
installation.

3. You must consider the surroundings when terminating the 
 
vent and air:
a. Position the vent termination where vapors will not 
 
damage nearby shrubs, plants or air conditioning
equipment or be objectionable.
b. The
fl ue products will form a noticeable plume as
they condense in cold air. Avoid areas where the
plume could obstruct window views.
c. Prevailing winds could cause freezing of condensate 
 
and water/ice buildup where fl ue products impinge
on building surfaces or plants.
d. Avoid possibility of accidental contact of fl ue 
 
products with people or pets.
f. Do not terminate above any door or window.
Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations.
g. Locate or guard vent to prevent condensate damage 
 
to exterior fi nishes.
