Vertical direct venting

Vertical termination – optional concentric vent: Models 399 - 600 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 fittings are required to complete the
installation.

The required combustion vent pipe fittings 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 field supplied stainless steel screw
may be used to secure the two (2)
components together when field
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 fitting 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).
