Rinnai CVent 2
Descripon
The CVent Common Venng system provides longer vent lengths and fewer wall or roof penetraons than
convenonal single-unit venng. For the exhaust ue, CVent ulizes a CSA cered and tested venng (PPTL)
and for Canada ULC-S636-cered and tested venng (PPS) material from Ubbink, the same supplier for
Rinnai's innovave line of concentric venng. The various secons are self locking and sealing and can be
pushed together without use of cement or glue.
CVent is for use in U.S. and Canada only. PPTL components are cered for U.S. installaons whereas PPS
components are cered for Canadian installaons.
Installaon is cered for up to 10,200 feet. Refer to the Installaon and Operaon Manual for the tankless
water heater (RU98i, RUC98i or C199i) for appropriate dip switch selecon. Refer to High Altude
Installaon secon in this manual for appropriate de-rate values.
