General venting
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 3" Concentric Vent Kit available from Lochinvar (see
Section 3 – Sidewall Termination – Optional Concentric
Vent) and the 3" Concentric Vent Kit available from IPEX
are both approved for use on the Shield water heater. Both
kits are listed to the ULC-S636 standard for use in Canada.
Sizing
The Shield water heater uses model specific combustion air
intake and vent piping sizes as detailed in Table 2A-1 below.

Installation & Service Manual
Minimum

Maximum
combustion air and vent piping lengths
are as follows:
Combustion Air = 12 equivalent feet minimum / 150
equivalent feet maximum
Vent = 12 equivalent feet minimum / 150 equivalent feet
maximum
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 (100140480) = 49
equivalent feet of piping.
The appliance output rating will reduce
NOTICE
by up to 1.0% for each 25 feet of vent
length.
