The following sections describe the requirements

for each of these methods.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING ENDURANCE
VENTING: Regardless of the venting arrangement
being used, the flue gas vent material used with
the Endurance MUST be stainless steel special
gas vent listed to U.L. Standard 1738 and U.L.C.
Standard 636. Endurance flue gases must never
be vented into a masonry chimney or vented with
B-vent or other galvanized vent material.
Endurance units are not permitted to be common
vented with any other appliance(s), including
other Endurance appliances.

2.1 Concentric Direct Vent

2.1.1 Concentric Vent Description

Endurance concentric direct vent is a sealed-

combustion system. It can be used for vent systems

with a maximum of 15 linear feet (4.6m) and three

elbows. All of the air is drawn in from the outside

through a 5" stainless steel outer pipe. Flue gases are

vented through a 3" stainless steel pipe that is

positioned inside the 5" intake pipe. Hot flue gases are

surrounded by the intake flow of cooler outdoor air

(see Figure 4). Laars offers two concentric vent kits,

described in section 2.1.2. Laars concentric vents may

be installed through, and be in contact with,

combustible materials.

Figure 4. Combustion Air and Flue Gas Paths.

is part number 2400-009. The vertical vent kit is part

number 2400-011. See Figures 5 and 6, which show

the components included with the kits and venting

configurations. Installation instructions are included

with the kits. Rules for concentric venting, vent

material and vent terminal placement are discussed in

the rest of section 2 of this manual.

For additional length, and/or fittings, to extend

the kits to maximum 15 linear feet (4.6m) and three

elbows, individual components are available. These

components are shown in Figure 7.

2.1.3 Horizontal Concentric Vent

Location

The centerline of the vent opening must be at

least 16-1/2" (42cm) above grade, outside. Should it

be impossible to locate the opening centerline 16-1/2"

(42cm) above grade, use optional concentric vent

terminal extension (part number 2400-428), shown in

Figure 7.

In the U.S., vent terminals must be at least 3 feet

(0.9m) above any forced air inlet located within 10

feet (3.0m). In Canada, vent terminals must be at least

6 feet (1.8m) from any forced air inlet.

In the U.S., a direct vent terminal must be at least

12" (30cm) from any window or door that may be

opened, or any other nonmechanical opening. For an

Endurance that is not direct vented (vented as

Category IV), the vent terminal must be at least 4 feet

(1.2m) below or to the side of, and 12" (30cm) above

any such opening.

In Canada, a direct vent or non-direct vent

terminal must be at least 36" (91cm) from any window

or door that may be opened, or any other non-

mechanical opening.

The vent opening should be well away from

shrubbery or other obstructions that would prevent

free air flow to and from the vent terminal.

If the vent terminal location chosen is less than

18" (46cm) below an overhang, the 3" vent pipe must

extend to the outside edge of the overhang, to prevent

the accumulation of flue gas (see Figure 9).

Accumulating flue gas can contaminate the

combustion air, causing nuisance lockouts of the

ignition system. In addition, accumulation of flue

gases can settle on, and damage the structure’s

surfaces.

Vent terminals must not terminate in a location

where condensate or vapor may be a nuisance, hazard,

or could be a detriment to other equipment. See Figure

8 for more detail concerning vent terminal placement

in the U.S. and Canada.

Do not locate the vent terminal where blockage

by snow is a possibility, or where flue products could

strike against building materials and cause

degradation.

When multiple Endurance units are used, the

concentric vent terminals may be side-by-side,

2.1.2 Laars Concentric Vent Kits

The Endurance is certified with a maximum of

15 linear feet (4.6m) of concentric piping and three

sets of elbows. There are two concentric vent kits

offered by Laars. Both kits, and all Laars Endurance

vent material meet the requirements of U.L. Standard

1738 and U.L.C. Standard 636. The horizontal vent kit
