Installation — assembly
Connect vent run to termination
Venting through sidewall
1. If using Weil-McLain Vent/Air Intake Termination Kit, see instructions
provided in that kit. Applies to direct (Figure 3, page 4) or non-direct
vent (Figure 4, page 4) method.
2. If using non-direct method with termination coupling only, see Figures
8 and 10.
• Do not seal slip connector to inside or outside plate.
• If passing through noncombustible wall, provide hole diameter
large enough to insert the slip connector through. Sleeve and
spacers are not required.
3. Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials
to vent pipe; 0" clearance for noncombustible materials.
4. Refer to vent termination WARNING, item 19 on page 3.
Venting through existing chimney or roof
1. Direct vent method — follow instructions supplied in Weil-McLain
Through-Roof or Through-Unused-Chimney Termination Kit to
assemble termination.
2. Non-Direct vent method (through the roof):
• Vent pipe must extend through roof flashing, jacket or thimble.
See Figure 9.
• Vent may pass through floor, inside wall or concealed space when
installed according to vent pipe manufacturer's instructions.
3. Maintain minimum one-inch clearance from combustible materials
to vent pipe.

Install combustion air piping
1. Seal all combustion air piping joints and seams,
using sealant as below:
a. Dryer vent — A piece of 3" galvanized is re-
quired at each end to adapt. Seal all pipe joints
and seams between pipe and dryer vent with
silicon sealant.
b. Galvanized pipe — Seal all joints and seams
using silicone sealant.
PVC pipe
c. — Seal all joints using PVC ce-
ment.
Except where noted otherwise
above, seal air piping using either
the sealant specified by the vent pipe
manufacturer for vent joints or one
of the following silicone sealants:
• Dow Corning 700™ or 732™
• General Electric 108 or 800
2. Combustion air pipe may be pitched slightly toward
outside termination to preent rain from entering
boiler.
Support the air piping in the same
manner as specified for the vent pipe
by the vent pipe manufacturer. Do
not support the air pipe from the
sidewall termination.
Venting multiple GV boilers
Do not connect multiple boilers to
the same vent. Failure to comply
could result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Sidewall
Space terminations apart as shown in the figure
below.
Vertical
Multiple GV boilers may be vertically vented with vent
terminations at the same height. Maintain spacing as
noted in the figure below.
