the length listed for a 2" (60 mm) vent system in
Table 1 on page 4.
8. The total equivalent length of 3" (80 mm) and 2"
(60 mm) combustion air piping combined shall not

Connect Piping to EXALT

NOTICE
• The EXALT appliance is supplied with an
acoustic dampening foam rubber insert
located in the appliance air inlet adaptor.
DO NOT remove this at installation.
• For EXALT 110 & 155 Models only, propane
conversions require an additional acoustic
foam insert to be fitted within the combustion
air piping. Consult LP Conversion Instructions
for proper fitting.
The EXALT universal vent and combustion air adapt-
ers will directly accept PVC/CPVC, DuraVent FasN-Seal
Polypropylene (PP), and AL29-4C Stainless Steel
venting without the use of adapters.
The universal vent and combustion air adapters
contain three seals for each type of venting material.
• The uppermost seal is used for PVC/CPVC venting.
• The middle seal is used for DuraVent FasNSeal
Polypropylene (PP) venting.
• The bottom seal is used for AL29-4C Stainless
Steel venting.
1. The installer must clean, deburr and chamfer the
pipe ends prior to assembly.
WARNING
The pipe ends must be smooth, free of sharp
edges, chamfered and wiped clean to prevent
possible damage to the sealing gasket in the
vent and combustion air adapters.
Failure to comply with this requirement can
cause flue gas leakage, resulting in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
2. Prior to inserting the pipe into the adapter:
• Verify the adapter gaskets are in place.
3. Ensure the adapter retaining strap is loose prior to
inserting the pipe.

4. Apply a small amount of water to the insertion end
of the pipe to ease insertion into the adapter.
5. Insert the pipe into the adapter until it is fully seated
to the proper level for the type of venting material
being utilized.
WARNING
Do not bend, twist or apply excessive force
to the vent or combustion air adapters when
installing the vent / combustion air piping.
The adapter gasket could be damaged and
leak flue gas, resulting in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
6. Secure the vent and combustion air pipes by
tightening the adapter retaining strap. Do not over
tighten the strap. The seal is made by the gasket
inside the adapter.

Vent and Combustion Air Piping Installation

4.3.1 PVC/CPVC Vent System

1. The installer should install the vent / combustion
air piping working from the boiler to the piping
termination. The piping length must not exceed the
lengths listed in Table 1 on page 4.
2. The installer should cut the pipe to the required length
and must deburr the inside and outside of both ends.
3. The installer must chamfer the outside of the pipe ends
to allow even distribution of cement when joining.
4. The installer must dry assemble the vent system
prior to final assembly to ensure proper fit.
5. The pipe ends and fittings must be cleaned and
dried thoroughly prior to final assembly.
6. When assembling a joint the installer must:
a. Handle fittings and pipes carefully to prevent
contamination of surfaces
b. Apply a liberal amount of primer to both the end
of the pipe and the insert socket of the fitting.
c. Apply a light uniform coating of approved
cement to both the end of the pipe and the
insert socket of the fitting, while the primer is
still wet.
d. A second coat of approved cement should be
applied to the mating surfaces. The installer
should avoid, however, using too much cement
on the socket of the fitting to prevent a buildup
of cement on the inside.
