LOCATION REQUIREMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Your unit model type determines which installation procedures must be used. For *MH8, *MS8, and GHS8 models, you must follow instructions for Horizontal Left, Horizontal Right or Upflow installations only. These furnaces are not approved for Downflow installations.

Downflow models GD(H,S) ARE NOT APPROVED FOR HORIZONTAL OR UPFLOW INSTALLATIONS. For these models, use only the instructions for downflow installation only.

Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.

•Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed or existing air distribution system.

•Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is heating.

•If the furnace is installed in an application where the typical operating sound level of a furnace is deemed objectionable, an optional sound reduction kit is available. Consult your local distributor for more details.

•Provisions must be made for venting combustion products outdoors through a proper venting system. The length of flue pipe could be a limiting factor in locating the furnace.

•Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.

•The furnace must be level. If the furnace is to be set on a floor that may become wet or damp at times, the furnace should be supported above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the furnace.

•Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material. The only combustible material allowed is wood.

•Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance-related problems. Do not install the furnace where the combustion air is exposed to the following substances:

chlorinated waxes or cleaners chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals

water softening chemicals deicing salts or chemicals carbon tetrachloride halogen type refrigerants

cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene) printing inks

paint removers varnishes hydrochloric acid cements and glues

antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers and masonry acid washing materials

•If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling unit coil. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling unit coil is placed ahead of the furnace.

6

For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than furnace width minus 1”. Additionally, a coil installed above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow furnace may be the same width as the furnace or may be one size larger than the furnace. Example: a “C” width coil may be installed with a “B” width furnace.

For upflow applications, the front of the coil and furnace must face the same direction.

•If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.

•If the furnace is installed horizontally, the furnace access doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally into the heat exchanger. Do not install the unit with the access doors on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the furnace.

•Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that serves a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.

•For counterflow installations, the air conditioning coil must be downstream from the heat exchanger of the furnace.

•Counterflow installation over a noncombustible floor. Before setting the furnace over the plenum opening, ensure the surface around the opening is smooth and level. A tight seal should be made between the furnace base and floor by using a silicon rubber caulking compound or cement grout.

•Counterflow installation over a combustible floor. If installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary, use an accessory subbase (see Specification Sheet applicable to your model for details). A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material including wood. Follow the instructions with the subbase for proper installations. Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring. (NOTE: The subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil is installed between the supply air opening on the furnace and the floor.

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL

NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.47-Latest Edition, CSA-2.3-Latest Edition Section 1.23.1. The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:

a.Seal any unused openings in the venting system;

b.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition;

c.In so far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers;

d.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously;

e.Test for draft hood equipped appliance spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle;

f.After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;

g.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be corrected.

Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.

If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the appropriate table in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.

THERMOSTAT LOCATION

In an area having good air circulation, locate the thermostat about five feet high on a vibration-free inside wall. Do not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any of the following:

•Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under cabinets.

•Hot or cold air from registers.

•Radiant heat from the sun.

•Light fixtures or other appliances.

•Radiant heat from a fireplace.

•Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.

•Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such as an outside wall.

Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for mounting instructions and further precautions.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH,

SUFFICIENT FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF FLUE GASES MUST BE SUPPLIED. MOST HOMES REQUIRE OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA.

Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air.

House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.

8

If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for all appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.

This furnace must use indoor air for combustion. It cannot be installed as a direct vent (i.e., sealed combustion) furnace.

Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ASPHYXIATION, THIS FURNACE MUST BE CATEGORY I VENTED. DO NOT VENT USING CATEGORY III VENTING.

Category I Venting is venting at a non-positive pressure. A furnace vented as Category I is considered a fan-assisted appliance and the vent system does not have to be “gas tight.” NOTE: Single stage gas furnaces with induced draft blowers draw products of combustion through a heat exchanger allowing, in some instances, common venting with natural draft appliances (i.e. water heaters). All installations must be vented in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. In Canada, the furnaces must be vented in accordance with the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.

NOTE: Masonry vent kit (MVK-01 and MVK-02) is to only be used on interior masonry chimneys or qualifying exterior masonry chimney applications identified in the MVK kit installation instructions. To ensure safe and reliable operation, use only the kit listed for your model.

Kit	Input KBTU Range	Limit Setting
MVK-01	40-100	250°F
MVK-02	120-140	290°F

Note: This kit is for use on Amana® brand and Goodman® brand 80% AFUE, 33” tall “H” and “S” model furnaces installed in the upflow position only.

NOTE: The vertical height of the Category I venting system must be at least as great as the horizontal length of the venting system.

WARNING

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ASPHYXIATION, COMMON VENTING WITH OTHER MANUFACTURER’S INDUCED DRAFT APPLIANCES IS NOT ALLOWED.

The minimum vent diameter for the Category I venting system is as shown:

	MODEL	MINIMUM VENT
		UPFLOW	COUNTERFLOW
	40	4 Inch	4 Inch
	60	4 Inch	4 Inch
	80	4 Inch	4 Inch
	100	5 Inch	5 Inch
	120	5 Inch	N/A
	140	5 Inch	N/A

Under some conditions, larger vents than those shown above may be required or allowed. When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

Upflow or Horizontal units are shipped with the induced draft blower discharging from the top of the furnace. (“Top” is as viewed for an upflow installation.) The induced draft blower can be rotated 90 degrees with the (0270F01119) chimney transition bottom kit for Category I venting. For upflow models installed vertically or horizontally, a four inch single wall pipe can be used to extend the induced draft blower outlet 1/2” beyond the furnace cabinet. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR COUNTERCLOCK-

WISE INDUCED DRAFT BLOWER ROTATION.

Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.

Venting - Furnace Installed in Horizontal Position

THIS FURNACE IS NOT DESIGN CERTIFIED TO BE HORIZONTALLY VENTED THROUGH AN EXTERIOR SIDE WALL.

The following describes an optional venting procedure when the furnace is installed in the horizontal left discharge position.

To rotate the induced draft blower clockwise, you will need to purchase one (0270F01119) chimney transition bottom kit.

1.Disconnect electrical power from the furnace.

2.Disconnect the induced draft blower power leads, flue pipe, and pressure switch tubing.

3.Remove the round cutout from the right side of the wrapper.

4.Remove and save the four screws that fasten the induced draft blower to the flue collector box.

5.Remove and save the three screws that hold the chimney assembly to the induced draft blower.

6.Remove and save the four screws that fasten the chimney top to the chimney bottom.

7.Remove the chimney transition bottom from the transition bottom kit.

8.Install the chimney top with the four screws retained from step 6 onto the new chimney transition bottom from the transition bottom kit.

9.Remove the induced draft blower and install the new chimney assembly to it using the three screws retained from step 5.

10.Rotate the induced draft blower 90 degrees to the right, feed the flue pipe through the round cutout from the outside of the wrapper, and fit onto the chimney top assembly. Secure the pipe to the chimney top from the front, top, and bottom using (3) screws and rotating the induced draft blower to properly orient the assembly. NOTE: If the pipe section is less than 18”, then attach it directly to the chimney top on 3 sides and feed it through the round cutout from the inside of the wrapper.

11.Reattach the induced draft blower using the (4) screws retained from step 3. Ensure the gasket located between the induced draft blower and collector box is rotated accordingly.

12.Reconnect the induced draft blower power leads. NOTE: If the wires are not long enough, pull extra wire from the wire bundle in the blower compartment.

13.Reconnect the remaining flue pipe, and the pressure switch tubing. Ensure that all wires and the pressure switch tubing is at least one inch from the flue pipe, or any other hot surface.

14.Restore power to furnace.

NOTE: In a horizontal installation the air conditioning coil must be adequately supported by proper brackets and supports. Inadequate coil support can result in furnace cabinet distortion and air leakage.

Counterflow units are shipped with the induced draft blower discharging from the top of the furnace. (“Top” as viewed for a counterflow installation.)

Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-latest edition.

EXTERIOR MASONRY CHIMNEYS (CATEGORY I FURNACES ONLY)

An exterior masonry chimney is defined as a “Masonry” chimney exposed to the outdoors on one or more sides below the roof line.” The ability to use a clay lined masonry chimney depends on a parameter not associated with interior chimneys. This variable is the geographic location of the installation. Researchers have discovered that the winter design temperatures have a direct impact on the suitability of this type of venting. In most situations, the existing masonry chimneys will require a properly sized metallic liner.

WARNING

POSSIBILITY OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DAMAGING CONDENSATION CAN OCCUR INSIDE MASONRY CHIMNEYS WHEN A SINGLE FAN-ASSISTED CATEGORY I APPLIANCE (80% AFUE

FURNACE) IS VENTED WITHOUT ADEQUATE DILUTION AIR. DO NOT CONNECT AN 80% FURNACE TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY UNLESS THE FURNACE IS COMMON VENTED WITH A DRAFT HOOD EQUIPPED APPLIANCE OR THE CHIMNEY IS LINED WITH A METAL LINER OR TYPE B

METAL VENT. ALL INSTALLATIONS USING MASONRY CHIMNEYS MUST BE SIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROPRIATE VENTING TABLES. IF AN

80% FURNACE IS COMMON VENTED WITH A DRAFT HOOD EQUIPPED APPLIANCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR CONDENSATION DAMAGE MAY STILL EXIST WITH EXTREMELY COLD CONDITIONS, LONG VENT CONNECTORS,

EXTERIOR CHIMNEYS, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THESE CONDITIONS. THE RISK OF CONDENSATION DAMAGE IS BEST AVOIDED BY USING MASONRY CHIMNEY AS A PATHWAY FOR PROPERLY SIZED METAL LINER OR TYPE B METAL VENT.

CHECK 1 - PROPER CHIMNEY TERMINATION.

A masonry chimney used as a vent for gas fired equipment must extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. It must extend at least two feet higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet. In addition, the chimney must terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet. The chimney must extend at least five feet above the highest connected equipment draft hood outlet or flue collar.

If the chimney does not meet these termination requirements, but all other requirements in the checklist can be met, it may be possible for a mason to extend the chimney. If this will not be practical, see Fix 1.

CHECK 2 - ANY SOLID OR LIQUID FUEL APPLIANCES VENTED INTO THIS

CHIMNEY CHANNEL

Solid fuel appliances include fireplaces, wood stoves, coal furnaces, and incinerators.

Liquid fuel appliances include oil furnaces, oil-fired boilers and oil-fired water heaters.

11

Appliances which burn propane (sometimes referred to as LP (liquefied petroleum)) gas are considered gas-fired appliances.

CHECK 3 - CHIMNEY CROWN CONDITION.

Damage from condensate usually shows up first in the crown. If any of the following trouble signs are present, the condition of the crown is not satisfactory:

a)Crown leaning

b)Bricks missing

c)Mortar missing

d)Tile liner cracked

e)No tile liner

f)Salt staining at mortar joints. (White stains, and mortar becomes sandy and/or erodes.)

For problems a, b, or c, see Fix 3. If problems d, e, or f are present, see Fix 4. IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to follow both Fix 3 and Fix 4.

CHECK 4 - DEBRIS IN CLEANOUT

A cleanout (dropleg) must be present such that the upper edge of the cleanout cover is at least 12 inches below the lower edge of the lowest chimney inlet opening.

A chimney without a cleanout could become partially blocked by debris. If no cleanout is present, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4). Remove the cleanout cover, and examine the cleanout for debris. If significant amounts of any of the following are found:

•Fuel oil residue

•Bricks

•Mortar or sand

•Pieces of the tile liner

•Rusted pieces of the metallic liner - reline the chimney (Fix 4).

CHECK 5 - LINER CONDITION.

If a metal liner is present, it must be checked. It cannot be assumed that all existing metal liners are correctly installed and in good condition.

Remove the lowest existing vent connector, and examine the inside of the elbow or tee at the base of the liner. A small amount of soot may be considered acceptable, provided the installer vacuums it away. If rusted pieces of the liner have collected here, the metal liner must be removed and replaced (Fix 4).

Next, gently tap the inside of the liner with a Phillips screwdriver. If the screwdriver perforates the liner, or if the tapping does not sound like metal hitting metal, the liner must be removed and replaced (Fix 4).

Remember that all appliances must be vented inside the liner. Venting one appliance inside the liner and another appliance outside the liner is not acceptable.

Next, use a flashlight and small mirror to sight up the liner. B vent must be supported so as to not come into direct contact with the chimney walls or tile liner. If it is not, it can probably be rehung so as to be acceptable. A thimble or fire stop may be helpful here.

Flexible liners should be hung straight or nearly straight. If it is spiraled in the chimney and in good condition, it should be rehung. To do this, break the top seal; pull up and cut off the excess liner length, and refit the top seal. Use caution when doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp.

The surfaces of the liner must be physically sound. If gaps or holes are present, the metal liner must be removed and replaced (Fix 4). Finally, confirm that the metal liner is the correct size for the appliances to be installed. Use the GAMA tables and rules.

If a metal liner is not present, a clay tile liner must be present, or the chimney must be lined (Fix 4).

Use a flashlight and small mirror at the cleanout or vent connector to inspect the clay tile liner. If any of the following problems are present:

•Tile sections misaligned

•Tile sections missing

•Gaps between tile sections

•Signs of condensate drainage at the cleanout or vent connectors

•Mortar protruding from between tile sections

•Use of sewer pipe or drainage pipe rather than an approved fire clay tile reline the chimney (Fix 4).

Next, measure the size of the liner. It may be possible to do this from the cleanout. The liner must be at least as large as the minimum size established by the tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments. If the liner is too small or too large, then the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).

CHECK 6 - DILUTION AIR.

If gas-fired appliances are to be vented into a clay tile liner, a source of dilution air is required.

Dilution air cannot be obtained through:

•Induced draft appliances

•Natural draft appliances with vent dampers

Sufficient dilution air can ordinarily be obtained through the draft hood of a natural draft appliance only if the appliance’s vent connector does not include a vent damper. If dilution air will not be available, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).

CHECK 7 - COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.

If Checks 1 through 6 have been satisfactory, and the liner is an acceptable size as determined by the tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments, then the clay tile liner can probably be used as a vent for the gas appliances. However, the installer must keep in mind the following factors which may render the tile liner unsuitable for use as a vent:

12

•Extremely cold weather

•Long vent connectors

•Masonry chimneys with no air gap between the liner and the bricks. (In practice, this can be difficult to detect.)

•Exterior chimneys (The tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments assume interior chimneys.)

If, in the judgment of the local gas utility, installer, and/or local codes; one or more of the above factors is likely to present a problem, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).

FIX 1 - LINER TERMINATION

Any cap or roof assembly used with a liner must be approved by the liner manufacturer for such use. The liner and cap/roof assembly must then terminate above the roof in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

In some cases, a shorter extension above the roof may be possible with a liner than would be required with a masonry chimney.

For further information on relining, see Fix 4.

FIX 2 -CHANGE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS

If the masonry chimney has more than one channel, it may be possible to vent the gas appliances into one channel and vent the solid or liquid fuel appliance(s) into another channel(s). Do not vent an 80+ Furnace inside of a metal liner with other appliances vented outside the liner.

Alternatively, the homeowner may agree to discontinue use of the fireplace (solid fuel appliance). If so, the tile liner must be cleaned to remove creosote buildup. The fireplace opening must then be permanently sealed.

If oil-fired appliance(s) are being replaced by gas-fired appliance(s), the tile liner must first be cleaned to remove the fuel oil residue.

If none of the above options is practical, the furnace may need to be vented vertically with a B Vent.

Under some conditions, a 90%+ furnace could be installed rather than an 80% furnace. The 90%+ furnace can be vented horizontally or vertically through PVC pipe.

FIX 3 - REBUILD THE CROWN

If the chimney crown is damaged, a qualified mason must repair it in accordance with nationally recognized building codes or standards. One such standard which may be referenced is the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 211.

FIX 4 - RELINING

Relining options include B vent and flexible liners.

If the chimney has diagonal offsets, B vent probably cannot be used.

If B vent is to be used, it must be supported adequately. Supports (such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to prevent the B vent from coming into direct contact with the tile liner or chimney walls. Direct contact would result in higher heat loss, with an increased possibility of poor venting system performance.

It is not acceptable to vent one appliance inside the B vent and other appliances outside. The excess space between the B vent and the chimney walls must be covered at the top of the chimney by a weatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.

The B vent should then be topped with a listed vent cap. The listed vent cap will, when installed per the manufacturer’s instructions, prevent problems due to rain, birds, or wind effects.

A B-vent installed as described in this section is considered to be an enclosed vent system, and the sizing tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments may be used.

If a flexible liner is to be used, it must be made of the proper materials:

•For most residential applications, an aluminum liner should be acceptable.

•If the combustion air supplied to the furnace will be contaminated with compounds containing chlorine or fluorine, a liner of AL 29-4C stainless steel should be used. Common sources of chlorine and fluorine compounds include indoor swimming pools and chlorine bleaches, paint strippers, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried) and solvents used during construction and remodeling. Various commercial and industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/fluorine compounds.

•Heavier gauge 300 and 400 series stainless steel liners were developed for use with oil or solid fuel appliances. They are not suitable for use with gas-fired appliances. Flexible liners specifically intended and tested for gas applications are listed in the UL “Gas and Oil Equipment Directory”. (UL Standard 1777).

For sizing of flexible liners, see the tables in the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.

To install the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer’s instructions and your local codes. Excess liner length should be pulled out of the chimney and cut off. Use caution when doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp. Do not spiral excess liner inside of the chimney. Support the liner as recommended by the liner manufacturer.

Some manufacturers of flexible liners offer an insulation sleeve designed to be added to the liner before it is installed in the chimney. (Poured insulation, either vermiculite or other materials, is no longer recommended.) Insulation will need to be added to the flexible liner if:

•It is required by the liner manufacturer’s instructions.

13

•The previous liner was properly sized and installed, and suffered from condensation damage.

•It is required by your local building codes.

Even if none of those three conditions exist which require additional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:

•The local climate is very cold.

•The chimney is very tall.

•The vent connectors used are very long or have a large number of elbows.

•Local experience indicates that flexible liners installed without insulation are likely to have condensation problems.

Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.

Finally, cap the chimney and terminate the liner in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
