1. Upflow Installation.
Upflow position is approved for installation on
wood flooring. Typical upflow furnace installa
tions are an alcove, attic, basement, closet, ga
rage, or utility room. See Figure 6 or furnace
clearance plate for minimum clearances to com
bustible materials.
2. Horizontal Installation
a. Horizontal position is approved for installa
tion on wood flooring. Typical horizontal fur
nace installations are an alcove, garage, at
tic, or crawl space. See Figure 6 or furnace
clearance plate for minimum clearances to
combustible materials.
b. Attic Installation.
Line contact is permissible for furnaces
installed in horizontal positions. The in
tersection of furnace top and sides forms
a line. This line may be in contact with
combustible material. However, maintain
a 6" clearance to vent connection unless
Type B1 vent is used. See Figure 7.
Doing any of the above could cause a fire resulting in
damage, injury, or death.
TYPICAL ATTIC INSTALLATION
FIGURE 7
When using single wall vent pipe in horizon
tal installations, horizontal furnaces with
14.50" high casings must be raised 1" to
have 6” clearance to combustible material.
See Figure 7.
Furnace installation on combustible flooring is
permitted with combustible floor base available
from manufacturer. Read installation instructions
packaged with combustible floor base to correctly
install. See Figure 8.
c. Install a platform under furnace that extends
a minimum 30" in front of furnace. This pro
vides a work area and keeps insulating ma
terials away from combustion air openings.
Secure platform to ioists.
WARNINOs When a furnace Is installed
In an attic or other Insulated space, keep
all insulating materials at least 12" away
from furnace and all burner combustion
air openings. Failure to do so could cause
nausea, asphyxiation or fire, resulting In
damage. Injury, or death.
d. Crawl Space Installation.
Furnace can be hung from floor joists or in
stalled on suitable blocks or pad. Pad or
blocks should provide enough height to re
duce potential for water damage. See Sec
tion 7.
3. Downflow Installation.
You must convert furnace from as-shipped con
figuration for downflow furnace installation. See
Section 5.

bustible floor.
4. Service Clearance.
Allow minimum front clearance of 30 inches for service.
See Figure 6 or inside of front door for minimum service
clearance.
SECTION 7 — SUSPENDING FURNACE.
Some installations will require that furnace be suspended
from rafters or floor joists.
A common way to do this using threaded rods is shown in
Figure 10. Consider this means when people may walk un
derneath furnace. Figure 11 shows another common suspen
sion means using pipe strap. Other means that provide ad
equate support may be used.
When furnace is not suspended in a crawl space, elevate
furnace off ground to avoid water damage and allow for air
conditioning coil drain.
Downflow position is approved for installation on
non-combustible flooring. Typical downflow fur
nace installations are an alcove, attic, closet,
basement, garage, or utility room. See Figure 6
or furnace clearance plate for minimum clear
ances to combustible materials.
NOTE: Level furnace from front to back and from left to right
within 1M" per four feet.

COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR
FIGURE 9
SICTION S PROVIDING FOR COMBUSTION
AND ViNTILATION AIR.
Before you begin installing furnace, pian to provide enough
combustion and ventiiation air following:
— Current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, Section 5;
— Local Code authorities. Refer to Section 31 of this
manual for these codes.
Ventilation is the process of replacing air which is required
for furnace operation. The total amount of ventilation air pro
vided within structure must equal all requirements of gas ap
pliances in the building, plus any air quantities removed by
range hoods, exhaust fans, etc.
Another reason to supply fresh outdoor air for combustion
and ventilation is that it dilutes contaminants found in indoor
air. These contaminants include bleaches, adhesives, clean
ing solutions, detergents, solvents, cat litter, spray can pro
pellants and most refrigerants.
WARNINDi Furnace and any other fuel-burning appli
ances must have enough fresh air for propsr combus
tion and ventilation. Lack of adequate combustion and
ventilation air could cause nausea or asphyxiation, re
sulting in injury or death.
WARNINOi During construction, do not use air from
inside structure for combustion and ventilation. Vapors
from soma construction adhesives and materials can be
come corrosive in the presence of a flame. This could
cause failure of heat exchanger or vent system, result
ing in damage. Injury or death.
WARNINO: Combustion and vsntllatlon air that contains
chlorine, fluorine, bromine and Iodine could cause heat
exchanger or vent system failure, resulting In damage,
Injury or death,
WARNINO: When installing a furnace In an attic or other
insulated space, keep furnace free and clear of all lnsu>
lating materials. Make surs all Insulation Is at least 12"
away from burner combustion air openings and well away
from openings into furnace space that supply air for
combustion and ventilation. Failure to do this could causa
nausea, asphyxiation or fire, resulting In damage, injury
or death.
WARNINGS When Installing furnace in an alcove, attic,
basement, closet, garage, or utility room do not store
items in front of furnace or In front of closet or utility
door which would block combustion air openings to fur*
nace. Failure to do this could cause nausea, asphyxia
tion or fire, resulting In damags, Injury or death.
DO NOT install furnace where any combustion or ventilation
air openings will allow outside air to blow directly against
furnace.
WARNINGS Drafts blowing directly against furnace could
cause improper combustion which could cause heat ex
changer failure or fire, resulting In damage, Injury or
death.
Sufficient air MUST be provided to insure there wilt not be a
negative pressure in furnace room or space. In addition, there
MUST be a positive seal between furnace and return air duct
to avoid pulling air from burner area.
Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by consider'
ing volume of furnace installation space. Use these instruc
tions and current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 to determine whether furnace is in an unoonfined or con
fined space.
If ratio is less than 50, installation space is a con
fined space. If ratio is 50 or greater, installation space
is an unconfined space.
B. Installing furnace In confined space.
WARNING: You must provide permanent air open
ings to a conflned furnace installation space from
another area as described below. Failure to do ao
could result In Inadéquat# combustion and vsntllatlon
air. Thsae could cause nausea, asphyxiation or fire,
resulting In damage, injury or death.
1. Combustion and ventilation air openings.
a. All combustion and ventilation air from inside the
structure.
1. The furnace space must be provided with
two permanent openings to an additional
room(s) of sufficient volume so that the
combined volume of all spaces meet the cri
teria above for an unconfined space.
The total input of all gas appliances within
the combined space must be considered in
making this determination. See Figure 12.
2. a. Each opening must have minimum free
area of one square Inch per 1,000 Btuh
per hour of the total combined input rat
ing of all gas appliances within the con
fined furnace space, but not less than
100 square inches. One opening must
be within 12 inches of the top and an
other opening within 12 inches of the
bottom of the furnace space. See Fig
ure 12.
A. Determining If your space Is confined or unconflned.
Two factors determine whether a furnace installation
space is confined or unconfined:
— Volume of installation space;
— Total gas input of appliances to be installed in that
space.
To determine which your space is:
1. First calculate furnace installation space volume in
cubic feet.
2. Determine combined input rating (BTUH) of all gas
appliances in furnace installation space, including
furnace input. This is the total combined input rating.
3. Divide total combined input rating by 1,000. Then
divide this number into installation space volume.
Here's the formula:
Space Volume
Ratio
Total lnput/1,000
10
For example:
Total Input
Btuh(square Inches)
40,000-100,000100
120,000120
140,000
b. If building is of unusually tight construc
tion, provide a permanent opening di
rectly communicating with the outdoors.
Opening shall have a minimum free area
of one square inch per 4000 Btuh of
total input rating for all equipment in the
enclosure.
If return air is taken directly from hall
way or space next to furnace that com
municates with furnace spaces, all air
for combustion must come from out
doors.
b. All combustion and ventilation air from outdoors.
1. The furnace space must be provided with
two permanent air openings directly to the
outdoors, or by ducts to the outdoors or
spaces (attic or crawl spaces) that freely ac
cess the outdoors. These combustion and
ventilation openings will give fresh air free
access to furnace space for combustion and
ventilation. You must also provide air suffi
cient for all other gas appliances within fur
nace space.
Free Area Per Opening
140
Ducts must freely access outdoors or spaces
(attic or crawl spaces) which freely access
the outdoors. Well ventilated attics or crawl
spaces usually satisfy this requirement.
2. Locate one combustion and ventilation air
operîing within 12" of top of furnace space.
Locate another within 12" of bottom of fur
nace space.
3. When directly accessing the outdoors, each
opening must have a minimum free area of
one square inch per 4,000 Btuh of total
combined input rating of all gas appliances
within furnace space. See Figure 13A.
4. If combustion air ducts will run vertically,
ducts and each opening must have a mini
mum free area of one square inch per 4,000
Btuh total combined input rating. You must
allow for all gas appliances within the fur
nace space. See Figure 13B.
For example:

6. Ducts which introduce combustion and ventila
tion air from outside structure into furnace space,
must have the same cross sectional area as the
free area of openings to which they connect.
The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall not be less than 3 inches.
2. Louvers, grilles, and screens.
Sometimes, louvers, grilles, or screens cover com
bustion and ventilation air openings. If so, you must
provide larger openings than those calculated above.
This is necessary because louvers, grilles and
screens block and reduce an opening's free area.
Louver, grille and screen manufacturers supply tech
nical data on their products, which usually includes
the Tree area." Sizing the openings with louvers,
grille or screen in place will provide minimum free
area to furnace space as calculated above. Do not
use screen smaller than 1/4" mesh. If you do not
know free area, assume that wood louvers have 20

Each of the two combustion and ventilation air
openings must have a total area of 250 square
inches. This is when wood louvers cover openings
for a 100,000 Btuh input furnace and combustion
and ventilation air ducts run horizontally.
c. Calculate minimum rectangular duct size needed.
If you choose a rectangular duct with the mini
mum allowed dimension of 3", the other duct
dimension must be at least 16-2/3". This is cal
culated by dividing the 50 square inches of free
area from a) by 3", with equals 16-2/3".
WARNINGi You must fix combustion and ventila
tion air louvers and grilles In open position or Inter
lock them with furnace operation. Furnace operation
12
with louvvrs or grilles closed could cause Inadequate
combustion or ventilation air, resulting In Injury or
death.
C. Installing furnace in unconfIned space.
Refer to current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1/
NFPA 54 for more information. This code does not re
quire that you make special provisions for combustion
and ventilation when furnace is in an unconfined space.
However, it is always prudent to arrange for combustion
and ventilation air as if installation space is confined
space.
In the past, infiltration through loose construction pro
vided enough air for combustion and ventilation when
furnace was in an unconfined space. Current construction
methods may now prevent infiltration of air into unconfined
space. These current methods include increased insula
tion, vapor barriers, tight fitting doors and windows, and
weather-stripping.
D. Allowing for exhauet fan operation.
1, When furnace is in a ventilated attic, crawl space,
residertce garage, or outside the heated space, ex
haust fan drafts can adversely affect its operation.
These drafts can come from kitchens, bathrooms,
clothes dryers or anywhere within the heated space.
WARNING: Exhaust fans that blow against fur
nace could cause heat exchanger failure or fire,
resulting In damage, Injury, or death.
2. When furnace is in a repair garage or inside the
heated space, exhaust fans can adversely affect its
operation. Exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms,
clothes dryers or anywhere within heated space in
crease combustion and ventilation air requirements.
This is because exhaust fans reduce the amount of
combustion and ventilation air available to the fur
nace. A fireplace also reduces amount of combus
tion and ventilation air. You must allow for these
reductions.
WARNING: You must allow for reduction of air
available for combustion and ventilation by ex
haust fans and fireplaces. Failure to do so could
result In Inadequate combustion and ventilation
sir. This could cause nausea, asphyxiation, or
firs, resulting In damage, Injury, or death.
3. Exhaust fan air may contain compounds of chlorine,
fluorine, bromine, and iodine. If used for combus
tion, this contaminated air will adversely affect fur
nace operation.
WARNING: If used for combustion and ventila
tion, contaminated exhaust fan air could cause
heat exchanger or vent system failure resulting
In damage, Injury, or death.

PROVIDING P
Vent furnace using these instructions and Venting Adden
dum. Also, meet requirements of local utilities and other local
code authorities. You must connect furnace to a vent or fac
tory-built chimney or a suitably sized, constructed and lined
masonry chimney. Vent or factory-built chimney must meet a
recognized standard. Chimney lining method and material
must comply with local requirements. Use corrosion-resistant
material meeting nationally recognized standards for vent
construction.
INTING.
WARNING: Inadequate vent or chimney could allow
combustion products to collect In structure, resulting In
Injury or death.
WARNING: Vent this furnace separately from any appli
ance designed to burn solid fuel, particularly wood-burn-
Ing or coal burning appliances. Improper venting could
allow combustion products to collect In structure, result
ing In injury or death.
A. Venting category.
The furnaces covered by this manual are design-certified
as CATEGORY 1 for venting, CATEGORY 1 furnaces
have non-positive vent static pressure and rely on the
beat content of combustion products to vent. You may
common vent CATEGORY 1 furnaces.
The furnaces covered in this manual are also designcertified as CATEGORY 3 for venting, only when they
are installed with manufacturer specified vent system
components and installation practices.
Category 3 gas appliances rely on the heat content of
combustion products and mechanical or other means to
vent. You may not common vent CATEGORY 3 gas ap
pliances.
B. Types of vent systems.
These definitions will help you understand the terms we
use.
1. "Vent" and "chimney" refer to open passageways.
These passageways convey vent gases from vent
connectors to the outside. Gases begin their final
ascent at the vent or chimney. Vents and chimneys
usually run vertically or nearly vertical. When they
serve only one gas appliance, they are called "dedi
cated" vents or chimneys. Whan they serve multiple
gas appliances, they are called "common" vents or
chimneys.
2. A "vent connector" connects a gas appliance to a
vent or chimney. Vent connectors usually run directly
from the furnace draft inducer collar to vent or chim
ney. Vent connectors may have vertical and horizon
tal runs.
3. A "venting system" is a continuous open passage
way from the draft inducer collar to the outside.
Venting systems usually have vent connector(s) and
a vent or chimney. Venting systems commonly serve
a single furnace or a single furnace and a water
heater. Other multiple-appliance venting systems are
13
less common.
C. Design considerations.
1. General considerations.
Avoid oversizing furnace for your application. Se
lect a furnace model with a rated heating output
close to the calculated heating toad. This extends
the firing period, decreasing the potential for con
densate formation in the vent.
a. Too small a vent cannot carry all combustion
products outdoors. Too large a vent will not vent
combustion products rapidly enough to avoid
potential for condensation. Refer to Venting Ad
dendum for correct size vent.
b. Vent height must be a minimum of five feet.
Minimize vent connector horizontal runs to the
extent possible for best performance.
c. The designer must consider the building's ori
entation, answering these questions. Will the
vent terminate outside the building where its op
eration could be adversely affected by winds?
Could any adjacent buildings adversely affect
vent operation? Allowing for these factors can
reduce the possibility of downdraft conditions.
b. Use Type B1 vent connectors in or through at
tics, crawl spaces, or other cold areas. Install
thimbles that meet local codes when vent con
nectors pass through walls or partitions of com
bustible material.
c. Keep vent connectors as short as possible by
locating furnace as dose as practical to vent or
chimney. Avoid unnecessary turns or bends
which create resistance to
Adding an elbow adds resistance. For example,
adding a 6" 90-degree elbow would be the
equivalent of adding 20 feet of horizontal 6" pipe.
45-degree elbows have lower resistance than 90degree elbows, and can work for most vent runs.
d. You may increase vent connector diameter to
overcome installation limitations and obtain con
nector capacity equal to furnace input. Make this
increase as close as possible to draft inducer
collar, allowing for necessary adapters and fit
tings.
e. If you join two or more vent connectors before
they enter the vertical vent or chimney, use cau
tion. See Venting Addendum.
flow of vent gases.
d. If your local experience indicates possible con
densation problems, provide for draining and
disposal of venting system condensate.
2. Vent sizing.
a. Sometimes the horizontal distance from the fur
nace to the vent or chimney is already given;
this is known as the horizontal vent connector
run. The vent or chimney height is also usually
given as is the Btuh input of the gas appliances
served by the vent.
Check these parameters to be sure the venting
system will work. Use approved engineering
practices, Venting Addendum, these instructions,
and Part 7 of current National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Use vent capacity tables
in Venting Addendum to check existing or new
vent sizes for CATEGORY 1 furnaces.
b. See Venting Addendum for single appliance
venting and multiple appliance (common) vent
ing. For multi-story installations, refer to current
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
c. Minimum vent connector diameter from furnace
to vent or chimney is same as draft inducer col
lar.
3. Vent connector.
a. Vent connectors must be made of noncombus
tible, corrosion resistant material capable of
withstanding vent gas temperatures. They must
be thick enough to withstand physical damage
and be accessible for inspection, cleaning and
replacement.
f. Do not connect this furnace to any portion of a
vent system which operates under positive pres
sure. Positive pressure would result with CAT
EGORY 3 and 4 appliances connected to the
vent.
g. Do not connect vent connector to a chimney flue
serving a fireplace unless you permanently seal
fireplace flue opening.
4. Vertical vent or chimney.
a. Vents and chimneys usually extend vertically with
offsets not exceeding 45-degrees. Consider vent
pipe runs more than 45'degrees as horizontal
runs. Include their length in the total horizontal
run.
b. Designer and installer must provide an appropri
ately sized common vent for all appliances con
nected to it. See Venting Addendum.
c. Connect this CATEGORY 1 furnace only to vent
systems with other CATEGORY 1 appliances.
WARNING: Do not connect this Category 1
furnace to a vent system used by Category 3
and 4 appliances. Do not connect It to vents
with mechanical draft systems operating at
positive pressure. Improper venting could al
low combustion products to collect in struc
ture during use, resulting In damage, Injury
or death.
5. Chimney.
Furnace is suitable for venting into a properly sized
and lined masonry chimney. Consult National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 for construction
details. If chimney is oversized, liner is inadequate
14
OT evidence of condensate exists, consider using
chimney as a pathway for suitably sized Type B1
vent liner. See Figure 15.
FIGURE 15
WARNIN9I Support Type B1 vent liner in ma
sonry chimney. Maintain at least a 1" clearance
on all sides to reduce possibility of condensate
in vent. Condensate may cause vent to deterio
rate allowing combustion products to collect In
structure, which could result In injury or death.
See Figure 16.
NOTE; For more information on proper chimney in
spection and relining procedures, Gas Research In
stitute (GRI) has a topical report entitled "Masonry
Chimney Inspection and Reiintng". Obtain copies
through American Gas Association (A.G.A.) at
1-800-841-8400.
6. Vent termination.
a. Terminate ail verticai vents with a iisted vent
cap or roof assembly unless local codes require
otherwise. See vent cap or roof assembly
manufacturer's instructions. Locate vent termi
nation (vent cap or roof assembly) in an area
without positive wind pressures or eddy currents.
Eddy currents occur when air swirls over roof
peaks. They can cause down-drafts and ad
versely affect vent operation. See Figure 17.
FIGURE 16

Some vent terminations or caps protect against
eddy currents and down-drafts, Consult their
manufacturer's instructions. Vent terminations or
caps should usually be at least the same size as
the vent. They may be larger if the installation
warrants.
b. Vent systems must end at least five feet above
the highest gas appliance connection. Vent pipe
must extend at least three feet above the point
where it passes through the roof. Vent termina
tion must be at least two feet higher than any
portion of building within ten feet horizontal and
vent termination must be at least two feet higher
than roof peaks within ten feet horizontal. See
Figures 18 and 19. Some vent cap manufactur
ers offer vent caps that allow reduced clearances.
Consult their Instructions.
15
D. Installation.
1. Vent connectors.
Attach vent connector at draft inducer collar. Make
sure flue gasket is in place providing a seat. Use a
minimum of three equally spaced screws around
connection. Connect all other vent pipes using three
equally spaced screws at each joint. Exception is
only when you use Type B1 vent pipe with self
locking connections or high temperature plastic pipe.
WARNINGS Unsecured vent pips connections
may loosen. This can allow combustion products
to collact In structura, resulting In Injury or death.
Install vent connectors without any dips or sags.
Slope them upward from furnace at least f/4” per
foot. To prevent sagging, at each joint support vent
connectors and horizontal portions using hinges,
straps or equivalent. Seal all connections where vent
connectors enter chimney. See Figure 15.
TERMINATION MORE THAN 10 FEET FROM RIDGE
FIGURE 18
TERMINATION 10 FEET OR LESS FROM RIDGE
FIGURE 19
WAftNINGt Failure to properly terminate
vent chimney systems could allow combus
tion products to collect In structure, result
ing In Injury or death.
c. Terminate venting system at least three feet
above any forced-air building inlet within ten feet.
Consider doors, windows and gravity air building
inlets. Locate vent termination at least four feet
below, four horizontal feet from or one foot above
any of these openings.
To avoid blockage, attach vent connector to a ma
sonry chimney above the extreme bottom. For in
spection ease, use thimble or slip joint to make vent
connector removal easy. Firmly attach connector.
Insert all vent connectors into, but not beyond, inside
chimney wall.
2. Vertical vent or chimney systems.
Install vent materials following their listing terms,
manufacturer's instructions, these instructions and
local codes.
A gas vent passing through a roof must extend
through roof flashing, jack or thimble. It must termi
nate above roof surface.
E. Existing vent considerations.
Masonry chimneys previously used for venting solid fuel
or oil burning equipment should be lined with suitable
metal liner. Also provide an accessible clean out per cur
rent National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.1.
1. Inspection of vents (chimneys).
a. Make sure existing vent or chimney is proper
size and construction for appliances that will use
it. The best way to do this is to size as if it were
a new installation. Compare the existing vent to
your calculations and make necessary correc
tions.
b. Examine vent or chimney cleanouts to make sure
they remain tightly closed when not in use. Make
sure vent or chimney passageway is clear and
free of obstructions. Look for evidence of con
densate or deterioration in vent or chimney. Ei
ther of these means an inadequate vent.
c. If you find an inadequate vent or chimney, do
not leave it as is. Repair or replace it. A new
vent must meet these instructions and current

WARNINOi An Inadequate vent or chimney
could allow combuatlon products to collect
In structure, resulting In Injury or death.
d. Sometimes you wiii repiace a common vented
appliance. Make sure common vent size is cor
rect for aJl appliances connected to it. If you re
move a furnace from a common vent without
replacing it, the vent will likely be too large for
remaining appliances. See Venting Addendum.
e. The following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to common vent
ing system placed in operation, while other ap
pliances remaining connected to common venting
system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in common vent
ing system.
2. Visually inspect venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there
is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corro
sion and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors
and windows and all doors between space
in which appliances remaining connected to
common venting systems are located and
other spaces of building. Turn on clothes
dryers and any appliances not connected to
common venting system. Turn on any ex
haust fans, such as range hoods and bath
room exhausts so they will operate at maxi
mum speed. Do not operate a summer ex
haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4. Follow Operating Instructions. Place appli
ance being inspected in operation. Adjust
thermostat so appliance will operate con
tinuously.
5. After it has been determined that each ap
pliance remaining connected to common
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.
6. If improper venting is observed during any
of the above tests, common venting systems
must be corrected.
NOTE: Follow current National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI 2223.1/NFPA 54 to correct im
proper common vent operation. Any common
vent resizing must approach minimum size

10.
A. Preparation.
Gas piping must meet requirements of current National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and local codes.
Size of pipe running to furnace depends on:
• Length of pipe;
• Number of fittings;
• Specific gravity of gas;
• Input requirements fBtuh) of all gas-fired appli
ances attached to same main supply line.
Refer to current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 for correct gas pipe sizing information.
Plan furnace gas supply piping so it will not interfere with
removal of burner assembly, front door or blower door
for servicing.
Always use a pipe thread sealant which is resistant to
propane (LP) gas solvent action. Sparingly apply sealant
to all joints on male threads only, starting two threads
back from end.
B. Installation.
1. Install A.G.A. listed manual shut-off valve in gas
supply line immediately upstream of furnace. Install
1/8" NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gauge
connection. Omit separate, plugged tapping if local
area accepts plugged tapping in gas control inlet.
2. After in-line manual shut-off valve, install a drip leg
(sediment trap) at gas supply line inlet connection to
WARNINGS Do not thread gas pipe too far. Do
ing so may cause gas control to split or crack
which could cause a gas leak or distortion or
malfunction of gas control. Thasa could causa a
firs or explosion resulting in damage, Injury or
death.
5. Isolate gas control from gas supply line pressure
during leak check. Gas supply line test pressure de
termines how you isolate gas control.
WARNINGS At gas supply line, test pressure
equal to or less than 14 Inches W.C. (1/2 PSI).
Isolate gas control from gas supply line by turning
furnace gas control knob clockwise > to off posi
tion. Unexpected surges could damage gas con
trol causing gas to leak, resulting In firs or ex
plosion.

A. Exact haat anticipator setting.
SECTION 1 5 — SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.
Exactly setting heat anticipator helps avoid potential call
backs. If you have any of the following factors, set heat
anticipator to match actual current draw in circuit.
• The system contains controls other than those
specified on wiring diagram;
• The system contains nonstandard (18 AWG) size
thermostat wire;
• The system has longer than a 30-foot distance
between thermostat and furnace.
Follow these steps to exactly set heat anticipator:
1. Use 2-foot piece of 24-guage thermostat wire,
stripped on both ends.
2. Use ammeter capable of reading exact amperage in
0-10 amp range. If it is adjustable, set on 0-10 scale.
3. Wind the 2-foot piece of 24-guage thermostat wire
ten times around one open arm of ammeter. Close
ammeter arms. This will act as a ten times multiplier.
4. Make sure 115-volt power to furnace is on. Connect
ends of wire on ammeter across terminals "R" and
"W" of thermostat sub-base. Follow Figure 22.

Thermostat calls for heat, energizing electronic ignition lock
out module. Electronic ignition lockout module provides power
to gas control and igniter to light pilot. After proving pilot
flame, inducer relay (IDR) closes, energizing inducer motor.
Inducer motor starts and pressure switch closes, energizing
gas control and time delay relay (TDR). Time delay relay
energizes main blower within 20 to 30 seconds.
NOTE: If system locks out, set room thermostat below room
temperature for at least 10 seconds, then return to desired
setting. To purge gas lines, it may be necessary to operate
furnace through more than one lockout cycle at start-up.
After room thermostat is satisfied, gas control and inducer
relay are de-energized simultaneously. Inducer motor de-en
ergizes and returns pressure switch to normally closed (N.C.)
position. Main blower remains energized through time delay
relay for up to 180 seconds.
SECTION 16 — INSTALLING DUCT WORK,
CAUTION: Install all duct work to meet current standards:
• ASHRAE/NFPA 90, Standard for Installation of
Warm Air Heating and Air Systems;
• State and local codes.
Failure to follow these standards could reduce air flow

• Good heating and cooling installations;
• Potentially fewer callbacks;
• Delivery of required circulating air.
For all furnaces, design duct systems for minimum and maxi
mum external static pressures detailed in Figure 24. See
Section 25 on measuring duct work static pressure.
NOTE: When furnace is installed in an upflow position, air
delivery above 1800 CFM requires both sides of furnace be
used for return air, or a combination of one side and bottom
or bottom only.
Downflow installations use top return or top and side return.
Horizontal installations use end return or end and top return.

A. Supply air duct work.
NOTE: Supply air duct (plenum) connection must be the
same size as the furnace supply air opening. Attach to
furnace duct flanges.
If you install furnace in horizontal position with an air
conditioner, design a minimum 18" long transition that
allows free air flow through furnace and cooling coil. Make
sure furnace temperature rise is within range noted on
furnace rating plate. Also, consult air conditioner's duct
work installation Instructions.
Seal supply air duct work to furnace casing, walls, ceilings
or fioors it passes through. End duct work outside furnace
space.
B, Return air duct work.
1. In upflow position, return air duct must be a mini
mum depth of 23-31/32". See Figure 25.

WARNINOt Failure to install bottom closure
panel could allow combustion products to enter
circulating air stream, resulting In injury or death.
When furnace is installed so that supply air ducts carry
air to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
return air must also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to
furnace casing and terminating outside the space con
taining furnace.
Avoid vent system reverse pressure by running return
air duct work outside furnace space. Seal return air duct
work to furnace casing, walls, ceilings or floors It passes
through. End duct work outside furnace space.
WARNINOt Failure to seal return air duct work could
allow combustion products to enter circulating air
stream through air stream leaks, resulting in Injury
or death.
C. Duct dampers.
You may balance air flow with dampers installed in each
branch run duct and adjust for even temperature
throughout the heated space. For proper furnace opera
tion, make sure:
• Supply air registers and return air grilles are
open;
- Rugs, carpets, drapes or furniture are clear of
registers and grilles;
• Size and shape of supply air plenum is correct;
excess static pressure, adversely affecting furnace and cool
ing system operation.
Follow minimum sizing and quantity recommendations in Fig
ure 27, as well as the air filter manufacturer's.

• Number of supply air ducts is correct;
• You consider your own experience and seek as
sistance if needed.
D. Common duct work.
If furnace will share common duct work with a separate
cooling unit, install furnace parallel to or upstream of
cooling unit. This avoids condensation in heating ele
ment. Do not install cooling coil in return air duct work.
With parallel flow, dampers or other means must prevent
chilled air from entering furnace. If dampers or other
means are not in full heat or cool position, furnace or
cooling unit must not operate.
SECTION 17 — SELECTING AND INSTALLING

WARNINOs Never use an open flame to check
for gas leaks. A gas leak could cause a fire or
explosion resulting In damage, Injury or death.
4. As furnace warms up, watch gas supply line (gas
control inlet) pressure using "U" tube water manom
eter installed in gas control inlet pressure tap. Natu
ral gas supply line pressure must still not exceed
10.5 inches W.C.
5. After verifying correct gas control inlet pressure, close
shut-off valve in gas control inlet pressure tap. Move
manometer connection to gas control outlet pressure
tap. See Section 20. Open shut-off valve in outlet
pressure tap. Let furnace warm up for 6 minutes.

7. Locate gas meter. Determine which dial has the least
cubic feet of gas and how many cubic feet per revo
lution it represents. This is usually one-half, one or
two cubic feet per revolution.
8. With stopwatch, measure time it takes to consume
two cubic feet of gas.
SECTION 21 — CHECKING GAS INPUT.
Equipment Needed; Save time by getting these tools before
you start: Item number(s) 11,14,15,19 and 22 listed in Sectbn 10.
WARNING! Natural gas heating value (BTU/cu.ft.) can
vary significantly, therefore, it Is the installers* responsi
bility to see that BTU Input to furnace Is adjusted prop
erly. Failure to do so could cause heat exchanger failure,
asphyxiation, fire or explosion, resulting in damage, in
jury or death.
Underfiring could cause inadequate heat, excessive conden
sation or ignition problems. Overfiring could cause sooting,
flame impingement or overheating of heat exchanger.
A. Natural Gas.
NOTE; For operations above 2,000 feet elevation, follow in
structions in Section 23.
Before starting natural gas input check, obtain gas heat value
at standard conditions from local supplier.
1. Make sure gas piping is large enough for all appli
ances connected to it to operate at once without
lowering main line pressure. Failure to do so could
27
a. If dial is one-half-cubic foot per revolution,
measure time for four revolutions.
b. If dial is one-cubic foot per revolution, mea
sure for two revolutions.
c. If dial is two-cubic feet per revolution, mea
sure for one revolution.
d. After determining the number of seconds for
two cubic feet of gas to flow through meter,
divide this time by two. This gives average
time for one cubic foot of gas to flow through
meter.
Example:
If it took 58 seconds for two-cubic feet to flow, it
would take 29 seconds for one-cubic foot to flow.
9. a. Use this formula to calculate gas input:
Gas BTU/CU.FT. x 3,600
seconds per/hour
Gas Input =
Seconds for one cubic foot of gas
Btuh
Example:
Gas Input -
Assume it took 29 seconds for one cubic foot of
gas to flow and heating value of 1,000 BTU/
CU.FT.
1,000 x 3,600
124,138 Btuh
29
If you left no other pilots on, this is the furnace
gas input.
b.
If you left water heater, dryer or range pitots on,
allow for them in calculating correct furnace gas
input. A quick way is to allow 1,000 Btuh for a
water heater. Allow 500 Btuh for dryer and 500
Btuh for each range burner pilot.
Example:
If you left gas water heater, dryer, four range
burner pilots and one oven pilot on, allow:
Water heater pilot
Dryer pilot
4 range burner pitot
1 range oven pilot
1.000 Btuh
500 Btuh
2.000 Btuh
500 Btuh
1. Make sure you have correct pilot orifics and main
burner orifices. Be sure that gas piping is large
enough for all appliances connected to it to operate
at once without lowering the main line pressure.
Failure to do so could causa lighting or burning
problems on any of the appliances.
2. Gas control inlet pressure must be between 11
inches and 13 inches for propane (LP) gas. See
Section 19A to check gas supply line pressure.
3. Turn off all other gas appliances. Pilots may be left
on. Start furnace following Operating Instructions
on front door or in Users' Information Manual.
4. As furnace warms up, watch gas supply line (gas
control inlet pressure) using "U" tube water manom
eter in gas control inlet pressure tap. See Section
19A. Supply line pressure must stili be between 11
inches and 13 inches W.C. for propane (LP) gas.
5. After verifying correct gas control inlet pressure,
close shut-off valve tn gas control inlet pressure
tap. Move manometer to gas control outlet pressure
tap. See Section 20. Open shut-off valve in gas
control outlet pressure tap. Let furnace warm up for
6 minutes,
4.000 Btuh
Subtracting 4,000 Btuh from 124,138 Btuh
measured above equals 120,138 Btuh. This
would be the correct furnace gas input after
allowing for pilots left on.
10.
Manifold pressure may be adjusted within the range
of 3.2 inches W.C. to 3.8 inches W.C. to get rated
input. If you cannot get rated input with manifold
pressure within the allowable range, you will need
to change orifices. See Section 23.
11.
Turn off gas. Remove 1/8"-pjpe manual shut-off
valves you used. Install 1/8”-pipe plugs In gas con
trol inlet and outlet pressure taps. Tighten to torque
of 50 inch-pounds. Turn on gas. Check both pipe
plugs for gas leaks. Use a commercial soap solution
made for leak detection.
WARNINOi Never use an open flame to check
for gas leaks. A gas leak could cause a fire or
explosion, resulting In damage, Injury or death.
B. Propane (LP) Gas.
WARNING t Propane (LP) gas Installations do not
have gas meters to double check Input rate. Measure
manifold pressure adjustment with an accurate "U"
tube water manometer. Failure to accurately adjust
pressure could cause heat exchanger failure, as
phyxiation, fire or explosion, resulting In damage,
injury or death.
6. Manifold pressure should be 10.0 inches W.C. +/-
0.3 inches W.C. Adjust by removing regulator cover
screw on gas control. Save screw for re installation.

of 5 inch-pounds to prevent gas leakage.
CAUTIONi Many Installers' set propane (LP)
manifold pressure at 11.0 Inches W.C. Do not
do this. It could cause heat exchanger failure or
nuisance callbacks.
WARNINGS Propane (LP) gas Installsttons do
not have gas meters to double check Input rats.
You must measure manifold pressure adjustment
with an accurate "U" tubs water manometer.
Failure to accurately adjust pressure could cause
hast exchanger failure, asphyxiation, fire or ex

7. Turn off gas before removing the 1/8"-pipe manual
shut-off valves. Install 1/8*-ptpe plugs In gas control
inlet and outlet pressure taps. Tighten to torque of
50 inch-pounds. Turn on gas. Check both pipe plugs
for gas leaks. Use a commercial soap solution made
for leak detection.
WARNINGS Never use an open flame to chock

NATURAL GAS-ORIFICE SIZE CHART
if the gas supplier has not already derated the gas
BTU value, derating must be achieved by reducing the
size of the main burner orifices. See Table 34 and 35
for proper sizing. Contact gas supplier for more infor
mation.
Adjustment of the manifold pressure to a lower pres
sure reading than what is specified in Section 20,
Manifold Pressure Adjustment of this manual is con
sidered to be an improper derate procedure. With a
lower density of air and a lower manifold pressure at
the burner orifice, the orifice will not aspirate the proper
amount of primary air into the burner. Insufficient pri
mary air can cause incomplete combustion, yellow tip
ping and quite possibly carbon build-up.
B. New orifice size.
See appropriate chart below to determine new orifice
size.
To accomplish altitude derate, a natural gas orifice kit
containing the natural gas orifices indicated in Figure

FIGURE 39
A, Preparing to measure air temperature rise.
Follow Steps 1 through 5 in Section 25A of this Manual.
B. Measuring air temperature rise.
Air temperature rise (warm air supply temperature mi
nus cold air return temperature) must be within allow
able air temperature rise range specified on furnace
rating plate and in Figure 37B.
Figure 37B shows heating operation speed tap. Fur
nace is set on this speed tap when shipped from fac
tory.
1. Place thermometer in supply air plenum approxi
mately 2 feet from furnace. Locate thermometer tip
in center of plenum to insure proper temperature
measurement.
2. Place thermometer in return air duct approximately
2 feet from furnace. Locate thermometer tip in cen
ter of duct to insure proper temperature measure
ment.
3. Set room thermostat on highest temperature setting.
Operate furnace 6 minutes. Record supply air and
return air temperatures.
Connect pressure tap attached to supply air transi
tion duct (warm air supply plenum) to positive pres
sure side of slope gauge (bottom of scale). See
Figure 39.
4.
Connect pressure tap attached to return air plenum
to negative pressure side of slope gauge (top of
scale). See Figure 39,

Start blower on cooling speed by jumping terminals
"R" and "G" on 24 volt terminal strip located on
furnace control box.
6.
With blower running, read duct work static pressure
from slope gauge.
NOTE: If air filter location is upstream of return air
pressure tap, duct work static pressure must be
adjusted by subtracting 0.08 inches W.C. to get ac
tual duct work static pressure.
Duct Work

SECTION 26 — MEASURING AIR
TEMPERATURE RISE.
Equipment Needed: Save time by getting these tools before
you start; Item number(s) 21 listed in Section 10.
4. Calculate air temperature rise by subtracting return
air temperature from supply air temperature.
5. a. If air temperature rise is below maximum tem
perature rise, heating system has sufficient air
flow.
b. If air temperature rise is above maximum tem
perature rise specified in Figure 37B, more
heating air flow ts needed. Change blower
heating speed to a higher setting. Follow in
structions in Section 24 to adjust blower speed.
CAUTIONS Operating furnace above maxi
mum air temperature rise may cause poor
heating performance and decreased heat
exchanger life.
6. Heating speed tap should not normally be reduced
below initial factory setting. Some duct system con
figurations and supply register locations may result
in "cold blow". Setting heating speed tap to next
lower speed may resolve this issue.
7. After making heating airflow adjustments, you must
check air temperature rise following Steps 3 and 4
above to verify that resulting air temperature is within
allowable range.
8. H air temperature rise is still above that specified
on furnace rating plate and in Figure 37B, check
duct work design with a qualified heating engineer.
It may be necessary to resize the duct work.
Recheck air temperature rise after revising duct
system.
9. Set room thermostat to desired setting.

This booklet contains new venting tables designed specifically for use with Category I
central furnaces. These tables are unique, in that, industry wide venting tables now exist for
fan-assisted combustion system central furnaces. Venting tables for these types of appliances
are not contained in the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1-1988).
All requirements contained in this booklet apply to both Category 1 drafthood equipped
central furnaces as well as fan-assisted combustion system central furnaces. At no time
should a venting system for a listed Category 11, 111, or iV central furnace be sized with these
tables. The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1-1988) may also be used to size
venting systems for drafthood equipped central furnaces. However, at this time, the National
Fuel Gas Code does not include alternate sizing methods for fan-assisted combustion
systems. Therefore, until engineering data is developed to allow alternate sizing methods
for Category I fan-assisted central furnaces, the enclosed venting tables must be used
for fan-assisted combustion system central furnaces. These tables apply to venting single
appliances and common venting multiple appliances in both metal and masonry chimneys.
The new venting tables were developed by Battelle under contract (GRÎ-5088-245-1728) to
the Gas Research Institute (GRI). The computer program (VENT-11) developed by Battelle
Columbus generated the venting tables in this booklet and this procedure has been accepted
by the American Gas Association Laboratories as an appropriate engineering methodology for
determining venting requirements of Category I central furnaces,
For your information, the general venting requirements listed in this booklet are not
intended to be used as complete installation instructions and represent only a partial list of
venting considerations.
For venting applications that fall outside the parameters of the new venting tables, refer to
the furnace manufacturer's complete installation instructions, the specific vent manufacturer's
complete installation instructions, and state and local codes.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CATEGORY I APPLIANCES
INTRODUCTION
This booklet contains the current definitions,
instructions, and tables necessary to vent todays
modern Category I Gas Fired Appliance. A variety
of definitions of new terms describing today's gas
appliances are included to supplement the actual
venting tables which have been generated to
correctly vent various combinations of Category I
Appliances using Type B or single*wall metal vent
connectors attached to Type B vents or masonry
chimneys. Tables are also included covering similar
venting material combinations when applied to
common venting arrangements of two or more
appliances.
Finally, a series of examples are presented
demonstrating how the vent tables are used to
size the vent connector and the vertical vent for a
variety of typical applications.

) ) I. GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
All requirements contained in this document apply
to both Category 1 draft hood equipped and fan-
assisted combustion appliances. At no time should
a venting system for a listed Category 11, 111, or IV
appliance be sized with these Tables. The
alternate sizing methods described in the National
Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54;aNS1 Z223.V1988) may
also be used to size the venting system for a
drafthood equipped appliance. At this time,
alternate sizing methods have not been
developed for tan-assisted appliances. Therefore,
until engineering data is developed to allow
alternate sizing methods for Category I fanassisted appliances, the vent tables must be used.
1) The venting tables included in this instaiction
apply to vents and chimneys internal to the
structure below the roof tine. Exterior
chimneys or vents not enclosed by the
structure or a chase below the roof line may
experience continuous condensation
depending on locality. Consult local gas
utility, appliance manufacturer and/or local
codes. A chimney with one or more sides
exposed to the outside of the structure is
considered to be an exterior chimney. A
Type B or listed chimney lining system
passing through an unused masonry chimney
flue is not considered to be exposed to the
outdoors
2) If the vent or connector size determined from
the tables is smaller than the appliance
drafthood outlet or flue collar, the smaller size
may be used provided:
^ The total vent height "FT is at least 10 FT.
3) Single appliance venting configurations with
zero lateral lengths, Tables 1 & 2, are
assumed to have no elbows in the vent
system. For all other vent configurations, the
vent system is assumed to have two 90®
elbows. For each additional 90® elbow, or
equivalenr beyond two, the maximum
capacity listed in the venting table should be
reduced by 10 percent (0.90 x maximum
listed capacity).
* Two 45® elbows are equivalent to one 90® elblow.
4) The common venting Tables 3, 4, 7, & 8 were
generated using a maximum horizontal vent
connector length of 1 1/2 feet (18 inches) for
each inch of connector diameter as follows:

b) Vents or connectors for appliance
drafthood outlets or flue collars 12
inches in diameter or smaller are not
reduced more than one table size (e.g.
12 inches to 10 inches is a one size
reduction).
c) Vents or connectors for appliance
drafthood or flue collars above 12
inches in diameter are not reduced
more than two table sizes (e.g. 24
inches to 20 inches is a two size
reduction).
d) The maximum capacity listed in the
tables for a fan-assisted appliance is
reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum
capacity).
e) The drafthood outlet is greater than 4
inches in diameter. Do not connect a 3
inch diameter vent or connector to a 4
inch diameter drafthood outlet. This
provision does not apply to fan-assisted
appliances.
The vent connector should be routed to the
vent utilizing the shortest possible route.
Connectors with longer horizontal lengths than
those listed above are possible under the
following conditions:
a. The maximum capacity (Fan Max. or Nat
Max.)of the vent connector shall be
reduced 10% for each additional multiple
of the length listed above. For example,
the maximum length listed above for a 4
inch connector is 6 feet. With a connector
length greater than 6 feet but not
exceeding 12 feet, the maximum capacity
must be reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum
vent connector capacity). With a
connector length greater than 12 feet but
not exceeding 18 feet, the maximum
capacity must be reduced by 20% (0.80 x
maximum vent capacity).
39
b. The minimum capacity (Fan Min.) shaH be
determined by referring to the
corresponding single appliance table
(Tables 1 and 2). In this case, for each
appliance the entire vent connector and
common vent from the appliance to the
vent termination would be treated as a
single appliance vent, as if the other
appliances were not present.
5) If vent connectors are combined prior to
entering the common vent, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common
venting tables must be reduced by 10%. the
equivalent of 1 (one) 90® elbow (0.90 x
maximum common vent capacity). See Figure
11 The horizontal length of the common vent
connect or manifold (L) should not exceed
1-1/2 feet (18 inches) for each inch of
common vent connector manifold diameter.
6) If the common vertical vent is offset as shown
in Figure 8. the maximum common vent
capacity listed in the common venting tables
should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of
2 (two) 90® elbows (0.80 x maximum common
vent capacity). The horizontal length of the
offset shall not exceed 1 1/2 feet for each
inch of common vent diameter.

and ceilings must be installed with the listed
clearance to combustible materials and be fire
stopped according to local codes. In the
absence of local codes, refer to NFGC
(2223.1)
12) Vent connectors serving Category 1
appliances shall not be connected to any
portion of mechanical draft systems operating
under positive pressure such as Category 111
or IV Venting Systems.
13) A Category I appliance must never be
connected to a chimney that is servicing a
solid fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney
flue is used to vent this appliance, the
fireplace opening must be permanently
sealed.
14) A vent connector shall be supported without
any dips or sags and shall slope a minimum of
1/4 inch per lineal foot of connector, back
towards the appliance.
15) Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to
drafthood outlets or flue collars by sheetmetal screws or other approved means,
except vent connectors of listed Type B vent
material which shall be assembled in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Joints between sections of
single wall connector piping shall be fastened
by sheet-metal screws or other approved
means,
13) For single appliance vents:
a) If the vertical vent or tile lined chimney has a
larger diameter or flow area than the vent
connector, use the vertical vent diameter to
determine the minimum vent capacity and the
vent connector diameter to determine the
maximum vent capacity. The flow area of the
vertical vent, however, shall not exceed 7
times the flow area of the listed appliance
categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area
or flue collar area unless designed in
accordance with approved engineering
methods. See Table 9 for calculated areas.
b) For multiple appliance vents:
The flow area of the largest section of vertical
vent or chimney shall not exceed 7 times the
smallest listed appliance categorized vent
area, flue collar area, or draft hood outlet area
unless designed In accordance with approved
engineering methods. See Table for
calculated areas.
Maximum vent or tile lined chimney flow area = TTfD*)^ x 7
4
* Drafthood outlet diameter, flue collar diameter, or listed
appliar^ce categorized vent diameter.
c) In no case, shall the vent connector be
upsized more than 2 consecutive table size
diameters over the size of the drafthood
outlet, flue collar outlet, or listed apppliance
categorized vent. Example: An appliance
with a 4 inch diameter flue outlet collar or
drafthood outlet cannot be vented with a
connector diameter larger than 6 inches.
16) When the vent connector used for Category 1
appliances must be located in or pass through
a crawl space or other area which may be cold,
that portion of the vent connector shall be of
listed double-wall Type B vent material or
material having equivalent insulation qualities.
17) The entire length of sirigie wall metal vent
connector shall be readily accessible for
inspection, cleaning, and replacement.
18) For appliances with more than one input rate,
the minimum vent or connector (Fan Min)
capacity determined from the tables shall be
less than the lowest appliance input rating
and the maximum vent or connector (Fan or
Nat Max.) capacity determined from the tables
shall be greater than the highest appliance
input rating.
20) Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I
central furnaces must be either tile-lined or
lined with a listed metal lining system or
dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry
chimneys are prohibited. (See Note 1).
21) A fan assisted furnace may be common
vented into an existing masonry chimney
provided:
a. The chimney is currently serving at least
one drafthood equipped appliance.
b. The vent connectors and chimney are
sized in accordance with Tables 7 & 8.
SINGLE APPLIANCE VENTING OF A FAN
ASSISTED FURNACE INTO A TILE LINED,
MASONRY CHIMNEY IS PROHIBITED, THE
CHIMNEY MUST FIRST BE LINED WITH
EITHER TYPE B VENT SIZED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH TABLES 1 OR 2 OR A
LISTED, SINGLE WALL, METAL LINING
SYSTEM, SIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NOTE 22.
41
22) Listed, corrugated metallic chimney liner
systems in masonry chimneys shall be sized
by using Tables 1 or 2 tor dedicated venting
and Tables 3 or 4 for common venting with
the maximum capacity reduced by 0.20%
(0.80 X maximum capacity) and the minimum
capacity as shown in the applicable table.
Corrugated metal vent systems installed with
bends or offsets require additional reduction
of the vent maximum capacity (See Note 6).
27) Numbers followed by an asterisk (*) in Table 6,
indicate the possibility of continuous
condensation, depending on locality. Consult
appliance manufacturer, local serving gas
supplier, and/or authority having jurisdiction.
28) In a single run of vent or vent connector, more
than one diameter and type of pipe are
permitted to be used, provided that all the size
are permitted by the tables.
23) For multiple units of gas utilization equipment
all located on one floor, available total height
"H" is measured from the highest drafthood
outlet or flue collar up to the level of the cap or
terminal. Connector rise "R" is measured from
the drafthood outlet or flue collar to the level
where the vent gas streams come together.
(Not applicable to multi-story).
24) For multi-story installations, available total
height for each segment of the system *'H" is
the vertical distance between the highest
drafthood outlet or flue collar entering that
segment and the centerline of the next
higher interconnection tee (See Figure 13).
25) The size of the lowest connector and of the
vertical vent leading to the lowest
interconnection of a multi-story system must
be in accordance with Table 1 OR 2, for
available total height "H" up to the lowest
interconnection (See Figure 14).
26) Common vents in multi-story systems shall be
type B when used in multi-story systems and
have no offsets.
TYPICAL VENTING APPLICATIONS
29) If the desired vent height and connector rise
and/or lateral are between the table entries,
linear interpolation is permitted for calculation
of the permissible appliance input ratrings.
Extrapolation beyond the table entries is not
recommended. (See Example 7)
30) All combinations of pipe sizes, single-wall, and
double-wall metal pipe are allowed within any
connector rur\(s) or within the common vent
provided ALL of the appropriate tables permit
ALL of the desired sizes and types of pipe, as
if they were used for the entire length of the
subject connector or vent. I! single-wall and
Type B double-wall metal pipe are used lor
vent connectors, the comnrion vent must be
sized using Table 4.
31) Locate draft hood outlet or flue collar of
smallest input appliance closest to or under
common vent.
32) When vent table permits more than one
diameter of pipe to be used for a connector or
vent, the smallest permitted diameter should
be preferred.
Table 1 should be used when Type B vent is
used for both the vent connector and the
vertical vent.
Table 2 should be used when a single-wall
metal vent connector is attached to Type B
vertical vent.
42
Tabi* 3 should be used when Type 6 vent
connectors are attached to a Type В common
vent.
Table 4 should be used when single-wall
metal vent connectors are attached to a Type
В common vent.
43
TabI« 5 shall be used when a Type 6, doublewait venl tx>nnector is attached to a tile lined
masonry chimney.
Table 6 shat) be used when a single-wait metal
vent connector is attached to a tile lined
masonry chimney.

EXAMPLES USING SINGLE
APPLIANCE VENTING TABLES
Example 1; Single Draft-Hood-Equipped Appliance
Suppose that an installer has a 120,000 8tu/hr input
apptiafx:e with a 5 inch diameter draft hood outlet that
needs to be vented into a 10 foot high Type В vent
system. What size vent should be used assuming (a) a 5Ft lateral single-wall metal vent connector is used with
two 90° elbows, (b) a 5-Ft lateral single-wall metal vent
connector is used with three 90° elbows in the vent
system?
Solution
Table 2 should be used to solve this problem because
single-wall metal vent connectors are being used with a
Type В vent: Refer to Figure 4 of Typical Applications.
(a) Read down the first column in Table 2 until the row
associated with a 10-Ft height and 5-Ft lateral is
found. Read across this row until a vent capacity
greater than 120,000 Btu/hr is located in the
shaded columns labeled "NAT Max" tor dratt-hoodequipped appliances. In this case, a 5 inch
diameter vent has a capacity of 122,000 Btu/hr and
may be used for this ai^lication.
(b) If three 90° elbows are used in the vent system,
then the maximum vent capacity listed in the tables
rTMJst be reduced by 10 percent (see Note 3). This
implies that the 5 inch diameter vent has an
adjusted capacity of only 110,000 Btu/hr. in this
case, the vent system must be increased to 6
inches in diameter. See calcutations below:
122,000 X .90 * 110,000 for 5" Vent
From Table 2 - Select 6" Vent
186,000 X .90 =! 167,000; This is greater than the
required 120,000, therefore use a 6" Vent and
connector when three elbows are used.
Example 2: Single Fan-Assisted Appliance
Suppose an installer has an 80,000 Btu/hr input fan-
assisted ai:^liance that must be installed using 10 feet of
lateral connector attached to a 30-Ft high Type В vent.
Two 90° elbows are needed for the installation. Can a
single-wall metal vent connector be used for this
application?
Solution
Table 2 refers to the use of single-wall metal vent
connectors with Type 8 vent. In the first column find the
row associated with a 30-Ft height and a 10-Ft lateral.
Read across this row, looking at the "FAN Min" and "FAN
Max" columns, to find that a 3 inch diameter single-wall
metal connector vent is not recommended. Moving to
the next larger size sii^le wall connector (4") we find that
a 4 inch diameter single-wall metal connector has a
recommended minimum vent capacity of 91,000 Btu/hr
and a recommended maximum vent capacity of 144,000
Btu/hr. The 80,000 Btu/hr fan-assisted appliance is
outside this range, so we conclude that a single-wall
metal vent connector cannot be used to vent this
appliance using 10 feet of lateral for the connector.
However, we see that if the 80,000 Btu/hr input
appliance could be moved to within 5 feet of the vertical
vent, then a 4 inch single-wall metal connector could be
used to vent the appliance. Table 2 shows the
acceptable range of vent capacities for a 4 inch vent with
5 feet of lateral to be between 72,000 Btu/hr and
157.000 Btu/hr.
If the appliance cannot be moved closer to the vertical
vent, then Type В vent could be used as the connector
material. In this case .Table 1 shows that (or a 30-Ft high
vent with 10 feet of lateral, the acceptable range of vent
capacities for a 4 inch diameter vent attached to a fan-
assisted appliance are between 37,000 Btu/hr and
150.000 Btu/hr.

EXAMPLES USING COMMON
VENTING TABLES
Example 3: Common Venting Two Draft-Hood
Appliances
Suppose a 35,000 Btu/hr water heater is to be сотгтюп
vented with a 150,000 Btu/hr furnace using a common
vent with a total height of 30 feet. The connector rise is 2
feet for the water heater and 3 feet for the furnace.
Assume single-wall metal connectors will be used with
Type В vent. What size connectors and combined vent
should be used in this installation?
Solution - (Table 4 applies in this example)
Table 4 should be used to size single-wall metal vent
connectors attached to Type В vertical vert. In the vent
connector capacity Table 4, find the row associated with
a 30-Ft vent height. For a 2-Ft rise on the vent connector
for the water heater, read the shaded columns for draft-
hood-equipped appliances to find that a 3 inch diameter
vent connector has a capacity o1 37,000 Btu/hr.
Therefore, a 3 inch single-wall metal vent connector may
be used with the water heater. For a draft-hood-
equipped furnace with a 3-Ft rise, read across the
appropriate row to find that a 5 inch diameter vent
connector has a maximum capacity of 120.000 Btu/hr
(which is too small for the furnace) and a 6 inch diameter
vent connector has a maximum vert capacity of 172,000
Btu/hr. Therefore, a 6 inch diameter vent connector
should be used with the 150,000 Btu/hr furnace.
For the capacity of the combined vent, the lower portion
of Table 4 should be used. The combined vert capacity
required is 185,000 Btu/hr. Table 4 shows that the
combined vent capacity of a 6 inch diameter vent with a
30-Ft vent height is 257,000 Btu/hr. This is more than
adequate to handle the 35,000 Btu/hr input water heater
and the 150,000 Btu/hr input furnace.
Example 4; Common Verting a Draft Hood Water
Heater with a Fan-Assisted Furnace
In this case, a 35,000 Btu/hr input draft-hood-equipped
water heater with a 2 loot connector rise is to be common
vented with a 100,000 Btu/hr fan-assisted furnace with a
3-Ft connector rise. The common vent consists of a 30-
Ft rise of Type В vert. What are the recommended vent
diameters for each connector and the common vent?
Solution - (Table 4)
Water Heater vent Connector Diameter. Let us
assume the installer would like to use a single-wall metal
vent connector. Using Table 4, Vent Connector
Capacity, read down the Total Vert Height "H" column to
30 feet and read across the 2-Ft Connector Rise "R" row
to the first Btu/hr rating in the "NAT Max" column that is
equal to or greater than the water heater Input rating.
The table shows that a 3 inch vent connector has a
maximum input rating of 37,000 Btu/hr. Since this is
greater than the water heater input rating, a 3 inch vent
connector is adequate. Furthermore, since the water
heater is equipped with a draft hood, there are no
minimum input rating restrictions.
Furnace Vent Connector Diameter. Again, let us
assume the installer would like to use a single-wall metal
vent connector. Using Table 4, Vent Connector
Capacity, read down the Total Vent Height "H" column to
30 feet and across the 3-ft Connector Rise "R" row.
Since the furnace has a fan-assisted combustion system,
find the first "FAN Max" column with a Btu/hr rating
greater than the furnace input rating. The 4 inch vent
connector has a maximum input rating of 119,000 Btu/hr
and a minimum input rating of 85,000 Btu/hr. The
100,000 Btu/hr furnace in this example falls within this
range, so a 4 inch connector is adequate. If the furnace
would have had an input rating of 80,000 Btu/hr, than a
Example 4; (cont'd)
EXAMPLES USING COMMON
VENTING TABLES
Common Vent Diameter. The total input to the
common vent is 135,000 Btu/hr. Using Table 4,
Common Vent Capacity, read down the Total Vent
Height "H** column to 30 feet and across this row to find
the smallest vent diameter in the "FAN+NAT column
that has a Btu/hr rating equal to or greater thani 35,000
Btu/hr. The 4 inch common vent has a capacity of
132,000 Btu/hr and the 5 inch common vent has a
capacity of 202,000 Btu/hr. Therefore, the 5 inch
common vent should be used in this example.
Summary. In this example, the installer may use a 3
inch diameter, single-wall metal vent connector for the
water heater and a 4 inch diameter, single-wall metal vent
connector for the furnace. The common vent should be
a 5 inch diameter Type 8 vent.
Example 5: Single Draft Hood Equipped Furnace
Vented into A Masonry Chimney
A 135,000 Btu/hr draft hood equipped furnace is to be
vented into a 15' high tile lined masonry chimney. The
chimney is not exposed to the outside except above the
roof line. The furnace has a 6" diameter draft hood outlet
and requires a 10* lateral vent connector with 3 elbows.
The chimney is constructed using a 8" x 8*‘ liner. What
size single wall vent connector is required?
Solution:
Table 6 should be used. Refer to the figure for Example
5.
To determine the required vent connector diameter,
read down the height column in Table 6 until 15' is
found. Find the row for a 10' long lateral. The table shows
that a 6" diameter connector will allow a maximum
capacity of 151,000 Btu/hr for "Nat Max." (draft-hood
equipped) furnace. Because 3 elbows are required,
however, the maximum capacity must be reduced by
10% (See Note 3). Allowing for the additional elbow the
corrected maximum capacity is 135,900 Btu/hr. A 6"
diameter connector is large enough and should be
used. The internal area of the chimney is 8" x 8" = 64 sq.
in. and is within the acceptable range (38 sq. in to 198
sq. in.) for a 6" vent connector as shown in Table 6.
Example 6: Common venting into a Masonry Chimney
In this case, a 35,000 Btu/hr input 4 inch diameter outlet
draft hood-equipped water heater with 2 feet of
connector rise and 4 feet of horizontal length is to be
common vented with a 100,000 Btu/hr fan-assisted
furnace with a 4 inch diameter flue collar, 3 feet of
connector rise and 6 feet of horizontal length. The
common vent is an 8 x 12 tile lined chimeny that is 30
feet tall. What are the recommended vent diameters for
each connector? Is this an acceptable installation?
Solution
Table 8 is used to size common venting installations
involving single wall connectors into masonry chimneys.
Water Heater Vent Connector Diameter. Using
Table 8, Vent Connector Capacity, read down the Total
Vent Height "H" column to 30 feet and read across the 2
ft Connector Rise "R" row to the first Btu/hr rating in the
"NAT MAX" column tehat is equal to or greater than the
water heater input rating. The Table shows that a 3 inch
vent connector has a maximum input of only 31,000
Btu/hr while a 4 inch vent connector has a maximum
input of 57,000 Btu/hr. A 4 inch vent connector must
therefore be used.
58
Furnace Vent Connector Diameter. Using Table 8
Vent Connector Capacity, read down the Total Vent
Height "H" column to 30 feet and across the 3 ft
Connector Rise "R" row. Since the furnace has a fan-
assisted combustion system, find the first "FAN MAX"
column with a Btu/hr rating greater than the furnace input
rating. The 4 inch vent connector has a maximum input
rating of 127,000 Btu/hr and a minimum input rating of
95,000 Btu/hr. The 100,000 Btu/hr furnace in this
example falls within this range, so a 4 inch connector is
adequate.
EXAMPLE 6: (cont'd)
Example 7: Interpolating Between Table Values
Masonry Chimney. From Table 9, the Equivalent
Area for a Nominal Liner size of 8 irxihes x 12 inches is
63.6 square inches. Using Table 8, Common Vent
Capacity, read down the "Fan + Nat" column under the
Minimum internal Area of Chimney value of 63 to the row
for 30'ft height, to find a capacity value of 739,000
Btu/hr. The combined input rating of the furnace and
water heater 135,000 Btuh/hr, is less than the Table
value, so this is an acceptable installation.
Note 19 requires the common verrt area to be no greater
than seven times the flow area of the smallest appliance
outlet area. Both appliances in this installation use 4 inch
diameter outlets. From Table 9, the Equivalent Area for
an Inside Diameter of 4 inches is 12.2 square inches.
Seven times 12.2 is 85.4, which is greater than 63.6, so
this configuration is acceptable.
Note 1 specifies that the Table values are for vents or
chimneys which are not exposed to the outdoors below
the roofline. If the masonry chimney in this case were
exposed below the roofline, then the appliance
manufacturer, local gas utility, and/or authority having
jurisdiction must be consulted.
An installer has an 80,000 Btu/hr input appliance with a 4
inch diameter draft hood outlet that needs to be vented
into a 12-ft high Type В vent. The vent connector has a 5
ft lateral length and is also Type B. Can this appliance be
vented using a 4 inch diameter vent?
Solution
Table 1 is used in the case of an all Type В vent system.
However, since there is no entry in Table 1 for height of
12 feel, interpolation must be used. Head down the 4
inch diameter "NAT Max" column to the row associated
with 10 ft. height and 5 ft. laterial to find the capacity
value of 77,000 Btu/hr. Go down further to the 15 ft.
height, 5 ft. lateral row to find the capacity value of
87.000 Btu/hr. The difference between the 15 ft. height
capacity value and the 10 ft. height capacity value is
10.000 Btu/hr. The capacity for a vent system with a 12
ft. height is equal to the capacity for a 10 ft. height plus
2/5 of the difference between the 10 ft. and 15 ft. height
values, or 77,000 + 2/5 x 10,000 = 81,000 Btu/hr.
Therefore, a 4 inch diameter vent may be used in the
installation.

NOTE: Do not cut pipe with a power saw. Cub
ting pipe with a power saw may cause
cracking or shattering of pipe. Cracking
or shattering pipe may prevent a com
plete sea) when joining pipe,
2. Joining and Sealant
Use only approved sealant, Dow-Corning RTV-
736.
WARNING« USE ONLY APPROVED SEAL
ANT, DO NOT USE PVC CEMENT. FAILURE
TO SEAL VENT SYSTEM WITH PROPER
SEALANT AND PROCEDURE COULD ALLOW
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS TO COLLECT IN
STRUCTURE DURING USE, RESULTING IN
INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: Be sure pipe and fitting surfaces are
clean and free of any oils, greases or dirt
that could adversely affect the pipe seal.
a. Apply a 1/4 inch thick bead of eqaproved
sealant within 1/8 Inch of male pipe end.
Apply entirely around outside of male pipe.
b. Push pipe and fitting completely together in
a twisting motion to help spread sealant.
c. When pipe seats in the fitting, check that a
complete ring of sealant is visible. A complete
ring of sealant assures seal is gas-tight.
Sealant cures in 24 hours. Use foil tape to
hold joints together until cured, remove tape
after sealant cures.
NOTE: A minimum vent length of 48 inches is necessary
for furnace service access.
C. V*nl Pipe Inslallatlon
1. Cutting
Cut pipe with a handsaw containing at least 24
teeth per inch. Cut pipe squarely.
WARNING« FAILURE TO CUT PIPE
SQUARELY COULD RESULT IN PIPE NOT
SEAUNG PROPERLY, THIS COULD ALLOW
NOTE: Vent system can be used before sealant
cures.
3. Vent Outlet Kit (4059400)
You must use vent outlet kit part number 4059400
when using high temperature plastic pipe on
models with inputs of 120,000 and 140,000 Btuh.
Vent outlet Kit 4059400 is only required on
models with inputs of 120,000 and 140,000 Btuh.
Vent outlet kit is required to convert oval vent
collar to round vent collar. Round vent collar will
make furnace compatible for use with 4 inch
diameter, high temperature plastic pipe.

4. Condensate Disposal
Vent system must contain a tee with drain plug
and means of disposing of condensate. The drain
tee must be within the first 18 inches of vent run
to prevent furnace condensate and rain from
draining back into furnace.

b, When penetrating a combustible wall, you
must use a listed wall thimble. All thimbles
are adjustable to fit variable wall thicknesses
and are listed in the parts list on page 2.
WARNINGS FAILURE TO USE A WALL
THIMBLE COULD CAUSE COMBUSTIBLE
WALL MATERIAL TO IGNITE RESULTING
IN DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: Use Figure 5 In conjunction with
instructions below to properly install
wall thimble.
1. Cut an 8 1/2 inch diameter round hole in
wall. Locate it where you can maintain
the necessary 1 /4 inch per foot rise in the
vent system.
2. Hold thimble in place by a):^lying ap
proved sealant to male half before as
sembling. Insert thimble into wall.
3. After inserting thimble, secure to outside
and inside wails with nails or screws.
Seal thimble to inner and outer walls
with approved sealant material.
4. Insert a section of vent pipe through
thimble that leaves at least 14 inches of
vent pipe protruding from thimble.
5. To prevent vent pipe from moving in
thimble, attach stainless steel hose
clamp to both pipe ends extending
from thimble. See Figure 5.
