GV90+ venting and air piping — OPTIONS and PIPING LIMITS

Vent length affects boiler input — the boiler automatically derates to compensate for pressure loss through the vent.

See the derate values given in Figure 109, page 101. The longer the vent, the more the input is reduced.

Equivalent feet for elbows — deduct from maximum equivalent length of piping (does not apply to termination fittings)

• 7 feet per for each 3-inch 90° long-radius or 45° elbow
• 16 feet for each 3-inch short-radius elbow

Note 1:

Use only PVC pipe DO NOT use CPVC or ABS with concentric termination kits.

IPEX 3” PVC concentric vent kits can be used with standard PVC pipe, fittings and cement (ANSI/ASTM D1785) except where ULC
S636 compliance is required. For ULC S636 compliance, all pipe, fittings and cement must be IPEX System 636. When using IPEX
kits, use only IPEX product code 196006 for 3” venting.

Contact Weil-McLain for ordering information and availability of Weil-McLain venting kits.
