COMMON VENT SYSTEM
Features and Benefits
The Common Venng System provides for longer vent lengths and fewer wall or roof penetraons than
convenonal single-unit venng. CVent provides the necessary components for both combuson air and exhaust
and is made by Ubbink, the same supplier for Rinnai's innovave line of concentric venng. CVent ulizes a CSAcered and tested polypropylene venng material. The various secons are self locking and sealing and can be
pushed together without use of cement or glue. CVent can only be used with Rinnai’s RU98 condensing water
heaters.
For combuson air venng, Rinnai’s Common Venng System ulizes both CVent components and, if necessary for
extended vent runs, schedule 40 PVC.
The CVent Common Venng System can be used with up to 8 water heaters with a 41 foot equivalent vent length,
however if used with 7 or fewer units, the maximum equivalent vent length extends to 100 feet.
Advanced features include a precision-made check valve to prevent exhaust gases from penetrang non-operang
water heaters, avoiding negave impacts on combuson and reliability, as well as joint sockets designed to prevent
condensate from gathering in gaps and degrading gaskets.
The current version of CVent is made of polypropylene (PPtl) and is only for U.S. installaons.
Model Applicability
The common vent system is CSA cered (ANSI Z21.10.3, Gas Water Heaters Standards) for use only with the
Rinnai tankless condensing water heater RU98i (REU-KB3237FFUD-US).
