All vent pipes and air inlets must terminate
at the same height to avoid possibility of
severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Multiple vent/air terminations
1. When terminating multiple Knight XL’s terminate
each vent/air connection as described in this manual
(FIG. 4-6A).
2. Place wall penetrations to obtain minimum clearance of
12 inches (305 mm) between vent pipe and adjacent air
inlet elbow, as shown in FIG. 4-6A for U.S. installations.
For Canadian installations, provide clearances required
by CSA B149.1 Installation Code.
3. The air inlet of a Knight XL is part of a direct vent
connection. It is not classifi ed as a forced air intake with
regard to spacing from adjacent boiler vents.

1. Air pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole as
close as desired to the air pipe outside diameter.
2. Vent pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible
or noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe
hole with at least a 1/2 inch clearance around the vent
pipe outer diameter:
• 5½ inch hole (140 mm) hole for 4 inch (102 mm)
vent pipe
• 7½ inch hole (191 mm) hole for 6 inch (152 mm)
