Requirements for installation in
Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system
certified to ULC-S636.
2. The first three (3) feet of plastic vent pipe from the
appliance flue outlet must be readily accessible for visual
inspection.
3.
The components of the certified vent system must not be
interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted
pipe/fittings.
Sizing
The SYNC boiler uses model specific combustion air
intake and vent piping sizes as detailed in Table 2A
below.
When determining equivalent combustion air and vent
length, add 5 feet for each 90° elbow and 3 feet for each
45° elbow.
EXAMPLE: 20 feet of PVC pipe + (4) 90° elbows + (2)
45° elbows + (1) concentric vent kit (CVK3003) = 49
equivalent feet of piping.
Table 2A Air Intake/Vent Piping Sizes
Increasing or decreasing combustion air or vent piping sizes is not authorized.
