2. Commercial Water Heating Solutions Common Vent Webinar
This is Dale Schmitz, Commercial Marketing Manager and also presenting with me today is Michael Knoblett, Commercial Project Manager
Jason Siler, Director of Engineering Solutions
Robert Moore, Technical Trainer
We are glad to have you join us today to as we announce additional venting options to our product venting portfolio.
Since there is a lot of information to cover today, we have made every effort to highlight the content in a easy to digest visual format and have reference tables that will break the information down so you can begin promoting and selling the new venting options right away.
Let’s take a look at the agenda and then we can get started.

3. Agenda Advantages of Common Vent Venting Guidelines
Common Vent Applications
Polypropylene (PP) Statement of Line
PP Components
PVC/CPVC Statement of Line
Summary of all Vent options
Resources
Questions
Here is what we will be covering today –
The advantages – features and benefits of Common Venting and when you might want to position a PVC or a Polypropylene or “PP” solution.
We are going to review what will not be covered in this webinar and where you can go for more detailed or technical information.
We will cover the Statement of Line and Components for each venting material and finish by summarizing what we have just presented to you as well as listing additional resources that you can reference in the future.
And of course, we welcome your questions via chat throughout the presentation and will look to answer them near the end of this webinar.

4. Advantages of Common Vent
Fewer wall or roof penetrations
Reduced material costs
Simplified handling and installation
Easier routing of vents
Most installation sizes and options ever offered
So what are the advantages of a Common Vent system versus other venting options. I guess the first and most obvious answer is that there are fewer required wall and roof penetrations than with a dual pipe installation when installing multiple units, which also means there are less material costs.
We have simplified how you can order venting while making it easier to route vents to give our customers the most venting sizes and options ever offered by Rinnai or our competition.

When would you want to use or position PVC/CPVC? If you are in a situation where cost is the primary considerations, it can be a great option.
PP is the only way to go if you plan to use room air, require ease of installation using complete vent kits from Rinnai or you need to common vent as many as 8 tankless units together.
When to use PVC/CPVC
Lowest cost solution
thermostat setting is less than 150°F (65.5°C)
Readily available material
Direct Vent application
When to use PP
Push fit joints – no cement or glue required
Full line of components supplied by Rinnai – multiple extension, elbow and termination options
No hassle installation, vent kits are easy to connect together
Venting is backed by Rinnai’s warranty
Common Venting more than 5 units together
Direct Vent or Room Air application (C199i model only)

There is no change to current program for 8’’ PP systems.
8’’, up to 8units (41ft), 7units (80ft), 2-6 units (100ft)
6-8 units are the main application for 8’’ CV systems
May be used for 5 units to achieve 100ft, but other configurations will benefit from smaller vent sizes.
8’’ systems may be purchased as starter + add on or as a package using the CV8 kits, with a cost advantage.
CV kits were not included with smaller sizes for simplicity of distribution. Applications team will assist with kit requirements per application.

What’s in the Box?
Check Valve Installation
Header Construction
Vent Run and Termination
1 check valve per water heater is required
Check Valve
PVC / CPVC DV Only
Field sourced components required for Header Assembly
Header assembly drawings included in the installation Manual
Exhaust Termination: Tee
Intake Termination: Elbow
The PVC system allows the header assembly to be constructed in the field from readily available PVC or CPVC components.
The only component required to purchase from Rinnai is the check valve (#790111) and the check valve is only available for DV systems. Room Air not permitted for common vent PVC applications
In the box you will receive the check valve, an adapter for the unit, and an adapter to install 3’’ PVC.
Since there is only 1 check valve field reducers are required to adapt larger PVC vent systems. Details of header constructions in provided in the manual.
The check valve will be installed directly to the unit and the header will be constructed after the check valve assembly.
Terminations for PVC systems shall be 90 deg elbow for intake air and a Tee for exhaust.

Always consult the common vent installation manual for installation requirements.
PVC systems have the same vent run and unit specifications as the equivalent PP system.
PVC is only allowed in Direct Vent applications
3’’ systems may be built directly on top of the check valve.
4’’ systems require the use of a 3x4 reducer to expand the system to 4’’
6’’ systems required the use of a 3x4 reducer on the check valve and a 4x6 tee for the main header.
All systems may be built with IL or B2B configurations.

*Room Air for PP systems Only
**8’’ Systems for PP Only
The common vent matrix illustrates what configurations are permitted and not permitted by Rinnai
PP systems do not have B2B configurations for 3 and 4’’ systems The main effect of this is TRS03 will need to be either 4’’ PVC or 6’’ PP to allow the B2B venting.
PVC systems do not allow Room Air in any configuration
8’’ systems are only allowed using PP common vent.
The vent length matrix illustrates the most efficient vent size for the application. Systems may use the smallest possible vent size, if it is not achievable the diameter may be increased to achieve a longer vent run.
To summarize **READ LAST COLUMN**
Permitted by Rinnai
Not-Permitted by Rinnai
Common Vent Limitations:
Room Air Not Allowed with PVC/CPVC
B2B Configuration not provided on 3&4’’ PP Systems
PVC/CPVC Not permitted for 8’’ Systems

20. Sales List Price – Common Vent Additions
Snapshot of the updated price book for the new common vent additions. Look for this in Insights.
The 8’’ system sells for $350 per unit if using the CV8 kits, and will be more expensive if purchased individually.
4 & 6’’ systems are around $150 per unit
3’’ system is $105 per unit
The RA kits are less expensive because there is no intake air maifold
The PVC check valve price is $56 per unit, but also requires cost in materials and labor for the header assembly.
List Price by Size (DV)
8’’ $350/unit using CV8
4/6’’ ~$150/unit
3’’ $105/unit
PVC $56/unit + Field Install
