Requirements for installation in
Canada

1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system

certified to ULC-S636.

2. The first three (3) feet of plastic vent pipe from the

appliance flue outlet must be readily accessible for visual

inspection.
3. The components of the certified vent system must not be

interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted

pipe/fittings. For concentric vent installations, the inner

vent tube must be replaced with field supplied certified vent

material to comply with this requirement.

4. The 2" and 3" Concentric Vent Kits available from

Lochinvar (see Section 4 – Sidewall Termination – Optional

Concentric

Vent) and the 2" and 3" Concentric Vent Kits

available from IPEX are approved for use on the Knight

wall mount boiler. Both kits are listed to the ULC-S636

standard for use in Canada.

When determining equivalent combustion air and vent
length, add 5 feet for each 90° elbow and 3 feet for each
45° elbow.

EXAMPLE: 20 feet of PVC pipe + (4) 90° elbows + (2)
45° elbows + (1) concentric vent kit (CVK3003) = 49
equivalent feet of piping.

The appliance output rating will reduce
by up to 1.5% for each 25 feet of vent
length.

Table 3B Concentric Vent Kit Equivalent Vent Lengths

Sizing

The Knight boiler uses model specific combustion air intake and
vent piping sizes as detailed in Table 3A below.

Table 3A Air Intake/Vent Piping Sizes

Increasing or decreasing combustion air or
vent piping sizes is not authorized.

NOTICE

For Models 55, 85, and 110 using 2"
venting and Model 285 using 3" venting,
the first seven (7) equivalent feet of vent
must be CPVC (field supplied). This
includes any transition piece used to
increase or decrease the vent diameter.

ƽ WARNING

Note: The minimum combustion air and vent piping
length is 12 equivalent feet.
