Note 1: DO NOT use DWV, CPVC or ABS when using concentric vent termination. Use ONLY PVC schedule 40.
Note 2: IPEX PVC concentric terminations utilize PVC pipe/fittings certified to ULC S636. Where ULC S636 compliance is required, use
only IPEX System 636 pipe, fittings and cement.
AL29-4C vent piping — Install a PVC-to-stainless adapter supplied by the vent pipe manufacturer at the boiler vent connection
and at the termination (when using Weil-McLain plate or concentric PVC termination). DO NOT mix piping from different vent
pipe manufacturers unless using adapters specifically designed for the purpose by the manufacturer.
Plastic piping — Do not attempt to connect different types of plastic piping together.
DO NOT use cellular core pipe.
ALL vent and air pipes require a BIRD SCREEN at each termination . Most kits do not
include the bird screens. Purchase bird screens separately from Weil-McLain or vent kit
supplier if not included. [Note — bird screening is integral to the Weil-McLain sidewall vent
cap, supplied standard with all GV90+ boilers. No additional screening is required.]
