Vertical direct venting
Vertical termination – optional concentric vent: Models 400 - 601 Only
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 fi ttings are required to complete the 
installation.
The required combustion vent pipe fi ttings are listed in 
Table 3A, on page 18 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 fi eld supplied stainless 
steel screw may be used to secure the 
two (2) components together when fi eld 
disassembly is desired for cleaning (see 
FIG. 4-10, page 28).
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 (7 inch (178 mm) 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 fi tting to the larger 
 
diameter kit pipe (see FIG. 4-8, page 27).
b. Cement rain cap to the smaller diameter kit pipe (see 
 
FIG. 4-8, page 27).
