SERIES 4 GAS-FIRED WATER BOILERBoiler Manual
When inserting the partially-assembled termination kit
through the roof penetration, wrap plastic or other protection
over the end of the exposed assembly to prevent debris from
entering the pipes. If the air passages become blocked, the
boiler will not operate. Once the rain cap has been cemented
to the assembly, there is no way to correct the problem. The as-
sembly would have to be replaced if it were cut to be removed
and cleaned. Altering the assembly in any way could result
in severe personal injury or death due to toxic fl ue product
emissions.
When using AL29-4C stainless vent pipe, use the vent pipe
manufacturer’s PVC adapter when connecting to the con-
centric vent attachment.
1. After the assembly has been positioned in the roof opening and all sup-
ports have been attached, install a bird screen (purchased separately if
not included with the kit) and rain cap as follows:
a. Place the bird screen on the end of the inner pipe as in
Figure 89, page 78 .
b. Cement the rain cap in place as shown.
Vent termination support
1. Support the concentric vent/air termination at the roof penetration
as shown in Figure 88 .
s The supports/bracing used must support the termination assembly
to prevent vertical slippage or sideways movement.
s The clamps used on the outside of the termination pipe must not
cut into the pipe or contain sharp edges that could cause a crack
to form.

when using 2” or 3” pipe to reduce
pressure drop.
