3 General venting (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
Requirements for installation in
Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system
certi ed to ULC-S636.
2.  e  rst three (3) feet of plastic vent pipe from the
appliance  ue outlet must be readily accessible for visual
inspection.
3.  e components of the certi ed vent system must not be
interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted
pipe/ ttings. For concentric vent installations, the inner
vent tube must be replaced with  eld supplied certi ed vent
material to comply with this requirement.
4.  e 4" Concentric Vent Kit available from Lochinvar (see
Section 4 – Sidewall Termination – Optional Concentric
Vent) and the 4" Concentric Vent Kit available from IPEX
are both approved for use on the Knight XL (400 - 500
models only) boiler. Both kits are listed to the ULC-S636
standard for use in Canada.
Sizing
Increasing or decreasing combustion air
or vent piping sizes is not authorized.
NOTICE
Model Air Intake Vent
400 - 500 4 inches (102 mm) 4 inches (102 mm)
650 - 800 4 inches (102 mm) 6 inches (152 mm)
1000 6 inches (152 mm) 6 inches (152 mm)
 e Knight XL uses model speci c combustion air intake and
vent piping sizes as detailed in Table 3A below.

Table 3B Concentric Vent Kit Equivalent Vent Lengths
Minimum / Maximum allowable
combustion air and vent piping lengths
are as follows:
Combustion Air = 12 equivalent feet (3.7 m) minimum / 150
equivalent feet (30.5 m) maximum
Vent = 12 equivalent feet (3.7 m) minimum / 150 equivalent
feet (30.5 m) maximum
When determining equivalent combustion air and vent
length, add 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90° elbow and 3 feet (.9 m)
for each 45° elbow.
EXAMPLE: 20 feet (6 m) of PVC pipe + (3) 90° elbows +
(3) 45° elbows + (1) concentric vent kit (100140484) = 49
equivalent feet (15 m) of piping.
