This configuration of the twin pipe kit allows to discharge the exhaust gasses outside. The air 
supply  is  obtained  with  an  air  intake  pipe.  This  allows  to  take  air  from  the  room  where  the 
boiler is installed. 
If  either  an  additional  45°  or  90°  accessory  elbow  is  used  then  the  maximum  permissible 
lenght of either pipe must be reduced by 3.0 ft or 5.4 ft respectively. 

 

Note: When utilizing this option, see page 14 for room ventilation details. 

 

Installation: 

  Drill hole C (on the wall template) through the outside wall that is less than 18” thick. 

  Cut the pipe as necessary so that no more than 6” protrudes from the house. 

  Slide the exhaust pipe through the hole. 

  Slide one rubber wall trim piece on the pipe from inside and one from outside. 

  Attach each collar to the boiler with the gasket and screws provided. 

  Insert each elbow into its corresponding collar. 

  Connect each pipe to its corresponding elbow.
