Weil-McLain stainless steel bird screens, 2” or 3” (purchase separately) — see Figure 123, page 119 for part numbers
Note 1: Weil-McLain concentric vent kits are made from PVC
pipe and ttings.
Note 2: System 636 PVC concentric terminations utilize PVC
pipe/ttings certied to ULC S636.
If ULC S636 compliance is required, use only System
636 pipe, ttings and cement.
DO NOT mix piping from dierent pipe manufacturers
unless using adapters specically designed for the
purpose by the manufacturer.
Every joint on polypropylene vent piping must
include a locking collar.
DO NOT use cellular core pipe.
ADAPTERS — AL29-4C piping — Install a PVC-to-
stainless adapter supplied by the AL29-4C stainless
pipe manufacturer at the 3” PVC boiler vent connection
and at the termination (if using Weil-McLain plate or
concentric PVC termination).
ADAPTERS — Polypropylene piping — Provide adapt-
ers from polypropylene pipe to the 3” PVC connections
at the boiler and at terminations, if required (Weil-
McLain sidewall plate, for example).
ADAPTERS — If using 2” piping, where approved for
the application, provide adapters for the 3” PVC boiler
connections and at the terminations, if required (Weil-
McLain sidewall plate, for example)
ALL vent and air pipes require a BIRD SCREEN at each termination. Most kits do not include
the bird screens. Purchase bird screens separately from Weil-McLain or vent kit supplier if
not included. [Note — bird screening is integral to the 3” PVC Weil-McLain sidewall vent
cap, supplied standard with all WM97+ boilers. No additional screening is required.]
USE SWEEP ELBOWS FOR ALL VENT AND AIR PIPING — DO NOT use short
radius elbows for vent or air piping. Boiler performance could be aected.
