Intake & Exhaust Vent Package

in THE MAIN WALL
Considering Lochovia knight or Trinity boiler but require an almost flush mounting on the outside wall, because it will be in the driveway between 2 houses. So I am looking for an Intake/Exhaust package that permits very close to the wall mounting. I have not seen such an option in their literature yet. Any suggestions?

    Has a nice almost flush mounted termination kit.

    Thanks

    Thank you, and I agree. In fact, I was ready to pick up an Ultra-80. But that very day I went to a local supply houses' show (ABCO), where I had a really good look at the Knight and Trinity--and the reps were really helpful. A few of the points they raised regarding the Ultra vs their product: Ultra has an aluminum HE, the others are Stainless. The electrical terminations for the Ultra are on the back side of the exhaust/intake. Yet, if I cannot locate a suitable exhaust/intake "fixture," I may go with the Ultra.

    Check your local codes:

    Some areas restrict venting into walkway's especially when cars are parked in the vicinity. Exhaust may do damage to paint finish.

    Thanks, Mike

    The car finish is not my problem. The driveway is just driven through, not parked in. But the 2 houses share the space between the houses, not the driveway. Besides that, having 2 elbow'd pieces of PVC dangling above the driveway would "look" awful. So I am trying to locate an almost flush mounted vent/intake to lessen the unpleasant look. The Ultra does offer one, Knight does not, and I am not sure about Trinity, but I will call them first thing in the morning. Honestly, I'd like to go with the Knight, mainly for the bells & whistles. We'll see.

    The Knight and most other modcons offer a concentric vent kit which hugs the wall - only 6" is exposed. Should be the solution as long as your vent is 3" or smaller. I understand that these vents are available in 4" but I've never seen one.

    The only problem with these is that they take a lot of room inside the wall.
