Vertical direct venting
3. Space the air and vent holes to provide the minimum
spacing shown in FIG. 5-1A, page 29.
4. Follow all local codes for isolation of vent pipe when
passing through floors, ceilings, and roofs.
5. Provide flashing and sealing boots sized for the vent pipe
and air pipe.
Multiple vent/air terminations
1. When terminating multiple Knight wall mount boilers,
terminate each vent/air connection as described in this
manual (FIG. 5-2).
Terminate all vent pipes at the same height
and all air pipes at the same height to
avoid possibility of severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
2. Place roof penetrations to obtain minimum clearance of
12 inches between edge of air intake elbow and adjacent
vent pipe of another boiler for U.S. installations (see
FIG. 5-2). For Canadian installations, provide clearances
required by CSA B149.1 Installation Code.
3. The air inlet of a Knight wall mount boiler is part of a
direct vent connection. It is not classified as a forced air
intake with regard to spacing from adjacent boiler vents.

Description and usage
Lochinvar offers an optional concentric combustion air and
vent pipe termination kit. Both combustion air and vent
pipes must attach to the termination kit. The termination
kit must terminate outside the structure and must be
installed as shown in FIG. 5-4.
Field supplied pipe and fittings are required to complete
the installation.
The required combustion air and vent pipe fittings are
listed in Table 3D, on page 19 of this manual.
Vertical termination installation
1. See Section 5, Vertical Direct Venting - Determine
Location (where applicable).
2. Cut one (1) hole (5 inch diameter for #CVK3003
installations or 4 inch diameter for #CVK3008 installations)
into the structure to install the termination kit.
3. Partially assemble the concentric vent termination kit.
Clean and cement following the cleaning procedures in
these instructions.
a. Cement the Y concentric fitting to the larger
diameter kit pipe (see FIG. 4-7, page 26).
b. Cement rain cap to the smaller diameter kit pipe (see
FIG. 4-7, page 26).
