Description

This kit is designed to allow the terminations of a direct vent

furnace to be “concentrically” vented through a wall or roof.

This kit allows a single penetration to support terminations for

both the vent/flue pipe and the combustion air intake pipe.

Use this kit and these instructions for installation of the

concentric vent termination kit on 40” tall condensing furnace

models. (See Kit Components on page 2.)

Follow the furnace installation instructions for locating the

furnace clearances, operation and safety procedures.

NOTE: Field supplied pipe and fittings are required to complete

installation. All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers and

procedures MUST conform to American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) and the American Society for Testing and

Materials (ASTM) Standards:

Pipe and Fittings: D1785, D2466, D2661, D2665, F-891,

F628, & D2241

PVC Primer & Solvent Cement: D2564 & D2235

Procedure for Cement Joints: D2855

In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the

current CAN/CSA-B149.1 (latest edition) Installation Code.

Use only CSA-listed, ULC-S636 compliant two - or three-inch

diameter PVC or ABS pipe solvent cement, and fittings

throughout. The certified piping should be clearly marked with

the ULC Std “S636” on the pipe and fittings. Carefully follow

the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning and

The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney,

provided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is

insulated and closed with weather-tight, corrosion-resistant

flashing.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 3. Do NOT terminate over public walkways. Avoid areas where condensate may cause problems such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to windows where steam may cause fogging. 4. The vent termination shall be located at least 4’ horizontally from any electric meter, gas meter, regulator and any relief equipment. These distances apply ONLY to U.S. Installations. 5. The vent termination is to be located at least 3’ above any forced air inlet located within 10’. 6.

type for 2” and 3” vents. NOTE: Feet of pipe is whichever pipe run is the longest, either inlet or outlet side. 2. Determine the best location for the termination kit. See Figure 3 for vertical termination or Figure 6 and Figure 7 for horizontal termination. Roof termination is preferred since it is less susceptible to damage, has reduced intake contaminants and less visible vent vapors.

Secure the assembly to the structure as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 7 using field supplied metal strapping or equivalent material. NOTE: • Ensure that the strap is installed to prevent movement of termination kit in side wall. • Ensure the termination height is above the roof surface or anticipated snow level as shown in Figure 3 for vertical termination.
