Common venting
Crest boilers may be common vented; however, the following
criteria MUST BE followed:
1. Only Crest boilers may be connected to the common
vent. DO NOT mix other manufacturer’s appliances or
other Lochinvar models.
2. Crest boilers connected to the common vent must all be
of the same size.
3. Each Crest boiler must have a Lochinvar supplied flue
damper installed (see Table 2D).
4. Only vertical venting may be used when common venting
Crest boilers. Sidewall venting is not allowed.
5. Crest boilers in a common vent must be connected and
controlled with the integral Crest SMART TOUCH
Cascade.
a. The Leader may be controlled through the Crest
SMART TOUCH control through BMS (external
0 - 10V signal), ModBus or its own internally
calculated
set
point.
b. The Cascade (Members) must be controlled by the
Crest Leader boiler using the efficiency optimized
Cascade.
For approved common vent sizing, contact the factory.
WARNING
When Crest boilers are common vented,
the criteria above MUST BE followed.
Failure to follow all these requirements
will result in severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage.
