1. CONCENTRIC VENTING THROUGH AN EXISTING SYSTEM
NOTE:
The following instructions refer only to venting through an existing vent system, and not to venting with HTP’s concentric vent
kits (2” Part # KGVAT0501CVT, 3" Part # KGAVT0601CVT). Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation manual (Part # LP-166) for further
concentric venting information and instructions.
Concentric venting through an existing system must run vertically through the roof. See Table 16 for proper minimum vent sizing. Use
only the approved venting materials specified in Table 12 for piping the system. All instructions listed in Part 5 - Venting, Sections A
– G
apply. See Figures 18-1 and 18-2 for venting demonstrations.
The upper and lower vent terminations as well as all joints in the venting system must be properly sealed to ensure that all combustion
air is drawn properly and exhaust does not leak from the system. Failure to properly seal the venting system will result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTES:
A. For every 1” of overhang, the
exhaust vent must be located
1” vertical below overhang
(overhang means top of
building structure and not two
adjacent walls [corner of
building]).
B. Typical installations require
12” minimum separation
between bottom of exhaust
outlet and top of air intake.
C. Maintain 12” minimum
clearance above highest
anticipated snow level or grade
(whichever is greater).
D. Minimum 12” between vents
when installing multiple vents.
E. 12” minimum beyond air
intake.
F. Maintain 12” minimum
clearance above highest
anticipated snow level or grade
(whichever is greater).

If an existing venting system is converted for use with this heater, the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is clean and
free from particulate contamination that could damage the heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage and heater failure.
Such failure IS NOT covered under warranty.
