Installation & Operation Manual

Requirements for installation in
Canada

1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system
certifi ed to ULC-S636.
2. The

fi rst three (3) feet of plastic vent pipe from the

appliance

fl ue outlet must be readily accessible for visual

inspection.
3. The components of the certifi ed vent system must not be

interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted

pipe/fi ttings. For concentric vent installations, the inner

vent tube must be replaced with fi eld supplied certifi ed vent

material to comply with this requirement.

4. The 4" Concentric Vent Kit available from Lochinvar (see

Section 4 – Sidewall Termination – Optional Concentric

Vent) and the 4" Concentric Vent Kit available from IPEX

are both approved for use on the Knight XL (400 - 601

models only) boiler. Both kits are listed to the ULC-S636

standard for use in Canada.

The appliance output rating will reduce
by up to 1.5% for each 25 feet of vent
length.

NOTICE

Sizing

Increasing or decreasing combustion air
or vent piping sizes is not authorized.

Table 3B Concentric Vent Kit Equivalent Vent Lengths

Minimum / Maximum allowable

combustion air and vent piping lengths

are as follows:

Combustion Air = 12 equivalent feet (3.7 m) minimum /
100 equivalent feet (30.5 m) maximum

Vent = 12 equivalent feet (3.7 m) minimum / 100 equivalent
feet (30.5 m) maximum

When determining equivalent combustion air and vent
length, add 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90° elbow and 3 feet (.9 m)
for each 45° elbow.

EXAMPLE: 20 feet (6 m) of PVC pipe + (3) 90° elbows +
(3) 45° elbows + (1) concentric vent kit (CVK3007) = 49
equivalent feet (15 m) of piping.
