Asphyxiation hazard! Improper installation could
result in death or serious injury. Read Twin
Pipe Installation Instructions completely and
understand all requirements before beginning
installation.

5.8 Twin Pipe Systems

Twin pipe venting allows exhaust flue and intake flue to
be separated from each other. Fresh air is drawn in at a
different area from the flue terminal location.
A.
Twin Pipe CPVC System
CPVC is approved for boiler exhaust. CPVC or PVC are
both approved for air intake.
To transition from Coaxial at the top of the boiler to Twin
Pipe CPVC/PVC a kit is available.
B.
Twin Pipe Polypropylene System
Single wall polypropylene is used for both exhaust and
air intake piping. PVC can be used on intake only on
twin pipe applications.
Use the appropriate transition kit to change from
polypropylene to PVC. To transition from Coaxial, at the
top of the boiler to Twin Pipe polypropylene venting an
adapter kit is available.
C.
Twin Pipe Separated Flue
Exhaust and combustion air intake are not located in
same general location.
D.
Twin Pipe - Common Atmospheric Zone
Termination
Exhaust and combustion air intake are located in same
general location and are of equal length.

and block vent and combustion air.
Ice or snow may cause boiler to shut
down if vent or combustion air becomes
obstructed.
