Note 1: Weil-McLain concentric vent kits are made from PVC pipe
and ttings.
Note 2: System 636 PVC concentric terminations utilize PVC
pipe/ttings certied to ULC S636.
If ULC S636 compliance is required, use only System
636 pipe, ttings and cement.
DO NOT mix piping from dierent pipe manufacturers
unless using adapters specically designed for the pur-
pose by the manufacturer.
Every joint on polypropylene vent piping must in-
clude a locking collar.
DO NOT use cellular core PVC (ASTM F891), cellular
core CPVC, or Radel
®
(polyphenolsulfone) in venting
systems.
DO NOT cover non-metallic vent pipe and ttings with
thermal insulation.
ADAPTERS — AL29-4C piping — Install a PVC-to-stainless
adapter supplied by the AL29-4C stainless pipe manu-
facturer at the 3” PVC boiler vent connection and at the
termination (if using Weil-McLain plate or concentric PVC
termination).
ADAPTERS — Polypropylene piping — Provide adapters
from polypropylene pipe to the 3” PVC connections at
the boiler and at terminations, if required (Weil-McLain
sidewall plate, for example).
ADAPTERS — If using 2” piping, where approved for the
application, provide adapters for the 3” PVC boiler con-
nections and at the terminations, if required (Weil-McLain
sidewall plate, for example)
ALL vent and air pipes require a BIRD SCREEN at each termination. Most kits do not include
the bird screens. Purchase bird screens separately from Weil-McLain or vent kit supplier if
not included. [Note — bird screening is integral to the 3” PVC Weil-McLain sidewall vent
cap,
available for purchase from Weil-McLain
. No additional screening is required.]
USE SWEEP ELBOWS FOR ALL VENT AND AIR PIPING — DO NOT use short
radius elbows for vent or air piping. Boiler performance could be aected.
