This furnace is approved for installation in a mobile home when
a factory-supplied accessory mobile home conversion kit is
used. The conversion kit is required for use with both natural
and propane gas. The furnace must also be installed on a
factory-suppliedaccessorycombustiblefloorbaseor
evaporator coil casing.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return--air
temperature of 60_F(15_C) db or intermittent operation down
to 55_F(13_C) db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 80_F
(27_C) db. Failure to follow these return-air temperature limits
may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls.
(See Figure 3).
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the
design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs
because of furnace model size capacity increments. None of
the furnace model sizes can be used if the heating load is
20,000 BTU or lower. Use Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (Manual J and S); American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air--Conditioning Engineers; or other
approved engineering method to calculate heating load
estimates and select the furnace. Excessive oversizing of the
furnace may cause the furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely,
customer discomfort and/or vent freezing.
Failure to follow these guidelines is considered faulty
installation and/or misapplication of the furnace; and resulting
failure, damage, or repairs may impact warranty coverage.

Ventilated Combustion Air Applications
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion
air option, the attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with
the outdoor to provide sufficient air for combustion. The
combustion air pipe cannot be terminated in attics or
crawlspaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate
during the heating season. If ventilation fans are present in
these areas, the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors
as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a
space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic,
crawlspace, or equipment closet) and the space is well isolated
from the living space or garage.In addition, other gas
appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require
outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to
insure that the roof or crawlspace walls have sufficient free
area to provide sufficient air for combustion and ventilation for
the furnaces. The guidelines below can be used to insure that
other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
CONNECTION
!
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may
result in property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing
furnace in an area which may drop below freezing.
This can cause improper operation or damage to
equipment. If furnace environment has the potential
of freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be
protected. The use of accessory drain trap heaters,
electricheattapeand/orRVantifreezeis
recommended for these installations.
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst
water pipes and/or property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged
condensate drain or a failed pump may cause the
furnace to shut down.Do not leave the home
unattended during freezing weather without turning
off water supply and draining water pipes or
otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen pipes.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the
condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible,
DO NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain
line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the
condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below 32°F(0°C). This can cause
improper operation or damage to the equipment. If the furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and
drain line must be protected. In areas where the temperature
may be below 32°F(0°C), a Condensate Freeze Protection kit
is required. The kit includes a condensate trap with heat pad
and replaces the factory--installed condensate trap. Refer to the
accessory section of the Specification Sheets for current kit
number. A self--regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape
rated at 3 to 6 watt per foot (10 to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt,
40° F(4° C) may be used to provide freeze protection of the
remaining condensate drain line. Wrap the drain trap and the
drain line with the heat tape and secure with appropriate plastic
ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s recommendations.
Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured
per local codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to
prevent the drain line from sagging or being dislocated from the
furnace or termination point. In the absence of local codes,
consult the edition of the National Standard Plumbing Code
2009, in the US or the National Plumbing Code of Canada
2010 in Canada.
Upflow/Downflow Orientation
In the Upflow or Downflow orientation, the condensate trap is
inside the furnace casing. The condensate drain must be
routed from the trap through the furnace casing. The
condensate drain can be routed through the left or right side of
CAUTION
CAUTION
the casing. (The left or right side is as you are viewing/facing
the furnace from the front.)
An indoor coil condensate drain or humidifier drain can be
connected to the external furnace condensate drain provided:
a. The drains are not hard piped together, and
b. There is an air gap at the point where the two drain
lines meet or
c. All condensate piping is at least 1/2 in. PVC and
there is a relief tee at the top of condensate drain
piping as shown below:
NOTE: On narrower casings, it may be easier to remove the
condensate trap, connect the drain line components and
re-install the condensate trap. Read the steps thoroughly to
familiarize yourself with the required steps.
For Right Side Condensate Drain:
1. Remove the 7/8--in. knock--out from the right side of the
casing. (See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal
technique.)
2. Remove the pre--formed rubber drain elbow and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. Slide a spring clamp 1 inch (25 mm) down the plain end
(the end without the formed grommet) of the drain elbow.
4. From inside the casing, insert the formed grommet end
of the elbow through the 7/8--in. knockout in the casing.
5. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout
6. Attach the plain end of the drain elbow to the outlet stub
on the drain trap. Secure the drain elbow to the trap with
thespringclamp.
The remaining drain line can be constructed from field supplied
1/2--in. CPVC or 3/4--in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local
building codes. A factory--supplied 1/2--in. CPVC to 3/4--in.
PVC adapter is supplied in the loose parts bag for use as
required.
7. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
8. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
9. Connectadditionalcondensatepipingtoa
code--approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Contractors have found that
temporarily removing the inducer assembly in upflow
applications while performing the steps below, makes upflow
left--side drain connections easier.
For Left Side Condensate Drain
Connection:
1. For left side condensate drainage, the drain line is routed
from the condensate trap, behind the inducer (upflow) or
gas valve (downflow) and out through the left side of the
furnace casing. A pre-formed 1/2--in. CPVC “Z-pipe” is
provided with the furnace. The “Z-pipe” is long enough to
extend across the casing for drain connections.
2. Locate the “Z-pipe”. Remove the pre-formed drain elbow
and four spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. The“Z-pipe” is connected to the condensate trap and the
outside of the furnace by modifying the formed rubber
drain elbow as shown in Figure 18.
440 01 7104 0217
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Page 18
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSGas Furnace: WFAR
4. Remove the formed grommet from the rubber drain
elbow by cutting the elbow along the vertical line located
about 1--3/8 in. (35 mm) away from the formed grommet.
See Figure 16.DO NOT DISCARD THE FORMED
GROMMET OR THE RUBBER ELBOW. Both of these
pieces will be used.
Assemble and route the drain line to the opposite side of the
furnace as detailed below:
5. Remove the knock--out from the left side of the casing.
(See Figure 12 for suggestedknockout removal
technique.)
6. From the outside of the casing, insert the angled end of
the“Z-pipe” through drain hole in the left side of the
casing and behind the inducer or gas valve. Allow
the“Z-pipe” to temporarily rest on the blower shelf
(upflow) or burner box (downflow). (NOTE: When the
inducer housing has been removed to ease installation in
upflow applications, this step is not needed.)
7. After inserting the “Z-pipe” through the casing, slide a
spring clamp over each end of the “Z-pipe”.
8. From inside the casing, insert the short end of the formed
grommet cut from the rubber drain elbow through the
7/8-in. drain knockout in the casing.
9. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout.
10. Align the “Z-pipe” with the long end of the grommet inside
the furnace and insert slightly. The angled end of the
tube at the other side of the casing should be facing the
front of the furnace.
11. Slide a spring clamp over the end of the remaining
rubber drain elbow.
12. Attach the drain elbow to the angled end of “Z-pipe” and
the drain trap outlet stub. Adjust the length of “Z-pipe”
inserted into the grommet at the opposite side of the
furnace as necessary for proper fit and positioning. In
both upflow and downflow orientations, the “Z-pipe”
should NOT be resting on any sheet metal parts.
13. Secure the rubber elbow to the drain trap and the
“Z-pipe” with spring clamps.
14. Secure the grommet to the “Z-pipe” with the spring
clamp. The remaining drain line can be constructed from
field supplied 1/2--in. CPVC or 3/4--in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory-supplied
1/2--in. CPVC to 3/4--in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
15. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
16. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
17. Connectadditionalcondensatepipingtoa
code-approved drain, or to a condensate pump approved
for use with acidic furnace condensate and compatible
with mineral and vegetable oils, such as canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
NOTICE
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap
grommet is ONLY REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT
APPLICATIONS. It is NOT required for applications
using single-pipe or ventilated combustion air venting.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: When installing the furnace
horizontally, use the entire drain elbow (that is, do NOT cut as
shown in Figure 16) to connect the trap to the drain line. This
helps to prevent bumps and shocks to the drain line from
damaging the furnace drain trap. Avoid misalignment of the
drain pipe which may cause kinks in the elbow.
Horizontal Orientation
1. The condensate trap outlet extends 2--in. (51 mm) below
the furnace casing. Leave enough clearance between
the furnace and the furnace platform for the trap.
2. To allow for servicing the trap, the condensate drain
elbow in the loose parts bag can be used to make a
coupler to allow for future service of the condensate trap
and drain line.
3. Remove the knock-out for the condensate trap in the
side of the casing.
4. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing if required for
direct vent applications. If necessary, remove the trap,
install the grommet and re-install the trap.
5. Remove the pre-formed rubber drain elbow, and two

!
FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
personal injury or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration
device installed. Never operate a furnace with filter
or filtration device access doors removed.
WARNING
Furnaces shipped without a filter rack:
There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these
furnaces. An external filter is required and is purchased
separately. A field supplied accessory air cleaner may also be
used in place of the filter rack.
For upflow applications, the filter can be installed on either side
of the furnace, the bottom of the furnace or any combination of
side and bottom of the furnace. See Figure 19, Figure 20,
Figure 26.
For downflow applications, the filter rack (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom
opening on the furnace. See Figure 20 and Figure 27.
For horizontal applications, the filter rack (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) can be connected to the bottom opening
on the furnace. For side return use in the horizontal position,
refer to Figure 28. If both side and bottom openings are used in
Figure 28, each opening used will require a filter.
A filter rack or any field supplied accessory air cleaner can also
be installed in the common return duct prior to entering the
return air opening in any orientation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with filter rack or accessory
air filter for additional assembly and installation options.
See Table 5 for filter size details.
Filter and Return Duct Sizing
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters,
filter racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See
Table 6 for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean
resistance to airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media
types and sizes. These are representative numbers. Consult
the filter or IAQ device manufacturers’ specification sheet for
performance data for a particular filter media or IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of
pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses
filter systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. w.c. (50 Pa),
with the best blower electrical efficiency and system airflow
performance occurring with filter pressure drops under 0.1 in.
w.c. (25 Pa).
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1-in (25 mm) thick
after-market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration
system be designed for at least 2-in (51 mm) thick media.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Install a media cabinet capable
of incorporating a 4-in (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows
room for future upgrades to other IAQ devices.
NOTICE
Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much
pressure drop may be allowed in the filter system. See
the AIR DUCTS section. Excessive filter pressure drop
often compromises system airflow and duct performance, causes inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of
the duct system, as well as causes excess noise and
higher than anticipated electrical consumption.
Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition
airflow from the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device)
to the furnace when the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace
return air opening do not match the required filter or IAQ device
dimensions.Seetheinstructionssuppliedwith
factory-accessory duct adapters.

AIR DUCTS
NOTICE
Many states, provinces and localities are considering
or have implemented standards and/or restrictions on
duct sizing practices, ductwork leakage, and/or ductwork thermal, airflow and electrical efficiencies. CONSULT LOCAL CODE OFFICIALS for ductwork design
and performance requirements in your area.
General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA Manual D), Sheet
Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The AirSystems Design Guidelines reference tables available from
your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to
handle the required system design CFM at the design external
static pressure. The furnace airflow rates are provided in
Service and Technical Support Manual. When a furnace is
installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the
furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the
return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the
furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork
used. Seal supply-- and return--duct connections to furnace
with code approved tape or duct sealer.
NOTE:Flexible connections should be used between
ductwork and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration.
Ductwork passing through unconditioned space should be
insulated to enhancesystem performance. When air
conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1--in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials
to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36--in. (914 mm)
horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for
further requirements.
Return Duct Sizing
Refer to the Filter Selection and Duct Sizing section for
information on the proper selection of filter sizes and the
associated ductwork and duct transitions. Improperly designed
filtering systems and return ductwork are the most common
causes of airflow and/or noise complaints in HVAC systems.
Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
NOTE: Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow
and 10 ft. (3 M) of main duct to the first branch take--off may
require internal acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous
ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in
accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction
standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and
fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA 90B as tested by UL
Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top most flange may be
bent past 90_ to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange
temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the
coil are performed.

General
If this furnace replaces a furnace that was connected to a vent
system or chimney, the vent or vent connectors of other
remaining appliances may need to be re--sized. Vent systems
or vent connectors of other appliances must be sized to the
minimum size as determined using appropriate table found in
the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI
Z--223.1. In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA--B149.1.
An abandoned masonry chimney may be used as a raceway
for properly insulated and supported combustion--air (when
applicable) and vent pipes. Each furnace must have its own set
of combustion--air and vent pipes and be terminated
individually, as shown in Figure 53 for Direct Vent (2--Pipe)
air option.
A furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel. Other gas
appliances with their own venting system may also use the
abandoned chimney as a raceway providing it is permitted by
local code, the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
and the vent or liner manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Care must be taken to prevent the exhaust gases from one
appliance from contaminating the combustion air of other gas
appliances.
Do not take combustion air from inside the chimney when using
ventilated combustion air or single--pipe vent option.
These furnaces can be vented as direct--vent (two--pipe),
ventilated combustion air, or non-direct (single--pipe) vent
system. Each type of venting system is described below.
Common venting between these furnaces or other appliances
is prohibited.

Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
In a direct--vent (2--pipe) system, all air for combustion is taken
directly from outdoor atmosphere, and all flue products are
discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Combustion-air and vent
pipes must terminate together in the same atmospheric
pressure zone, either through the roof (preferred) or a sidewall.
See Figure 51 for references to clearances required by
National code authorities.
NOTICE
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION
AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture entering the combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture
trap may be added to the inlet pipe to help prevent moisture from entering the furnace from the combustion air inlet pipe. See Figure 57.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of
the optional inlet pipe moisture trap must be taken into
account.
Ventilated Combustion Air Systems
In a ventilated combustion air option, the vent terminates and
discharges the flue products directly to the outdoors similar to a
direct vent system. See Figure 52 for references to clearances
required by National code authorities.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a
space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic or
crawl space) and the space is well isolated from the living
space or garage. Combustion air requirements for this option
are the same as the requirements for providing outside air for
combustion for a single pipe vent system. Refer to the “Air For
Combustion and Ventilation Section.
Non-Direct Vent (1-pipe) System
In a non direct-vent (1-pipe) system, all air for combustion is
taken from the area adjacent to furnace, and all flue products
are discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Air for combustion
must be supplied as described in the Air For Combustion and
Ventilation Section. Do not use an abandoned chimney to
supply outside air to the furnace. See Figure 52 for references
to clearances required by National code authorities.
A combustion air pipe to the outdoors is not required for a
single pipe vent system. A 12-in. (304 mm) long pipe with a
2--in. (50 mm Nominal Dimension-- ND) tight radius 90 degree
elbow is required to be attached to the combustion air pipe
adapter on the furnace. (See Figure 50) This short inlet air pipe
helps to ensure stable combustion, as well as allow for sound
attenuation. To aid sound attenuation, point the inlet air pipe
away from occupants. An extra elbow and/or five feet (1.5 M) of
pipe may be used to accomplish the sound attenuation
function.

Contact Local code authorities for other requirements to and/or
exemptions from the National codes shown in the figures.
Roof termination is the recommended termination location.
Roofterminations provide better performance against
sustained prevailing winds. The roof location is preferred since
the vent and combustion air system is less susceptible to
damage or contamination. The termination is usually located
away from adjacent structures or other obstacles such as
inside corners, windows, doors or other appliances. It is less
prone to icing conditions, and it often has less visible vent
vapors.
Sidewall terminations may require sealing or shielding of
building surfaces with a corrosive resistance material due to the
corrosive properties of combustion products from the vent
system, as well as protection of adjacent structures.
NOTE: (Direct Vent/2--Pipe system ONLY) A factory accessory
termination kit MUST be used. See Table 11 for available

Termination Requirements for the
Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan
The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan require a
minimum unobstructed distance of 4 ft. (1.2 M) from the
foundation to the property line of the adjacent lot for vent
termination of any appliance with an input over 35,000 btuh. If
there is less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) of unobstructed distance to the
property line of the adjacent lot, no type of vent termination is
permitted for appliances with inputs greater than 35,000 btuh.
There are no additional restrictions on unobstructed distances
greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M). All single, two-pipe and concentric
vents maybe used, providing allother Code and
manufacturer’s requirements in these instructions are adhered
to. Refer to the appropriate Vent Termination section above for
locating the vent termination
If the unobstructed distance from the foundation to the property
line of the adjacent lot is no less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) and no
greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M), it will be necessary to re-direct the
flue gas plume. In this situation, a concentric vent kit cannot be
used. A 2-pipe termination (or single pipe termination when
permitted) that re-directs the flue gas away by use of an elbow
or tee, certified to ULC S636 from the adjacent property line
must be used. See Figure 55.
The concentric vent kit currently cannot be modified to attach
an elbow to the vent portion of the rain cap. A tee attached to
the rain cap could potentially direct the flue gas plume toward
the intake air stream and contaminate the incoming combustion
air for the furnace.

OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION
AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture entering the combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture
trap may be added to the inlet pipe to help prevent
moisture from entering the furnace from the combustion air inlet pipe. See Figure 57.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of
the optional moisture trap (15 feet/5 M) must be taken
into account.
Combustion Air Inlet Moisture Trap
To prevent moisture from trickling into the furnace vestibule, a
trap can be installed in the intake air pipe near the furnace.
Connecting a drain line to the trap is recommended as trace
amounts of moisture will evaporate into the intake air stream. If
the combustion air inlet is located near a moisture exhaust
duct, or there are other concerns of excessive moisture being
drawn into the combustion air inlet, it is encouraged to connect
adrainlinetothetrap.
The trap can be constructed from a running tee of the same
diameter of the intake air pipe with EITHER a removable cap
attached to a 6-inch long pipe connected to the tee or the
External vent Trap Kit to help prevent contaminants from
entering the furnace. See
The External Vent Trap Kit accessory may be used as a trap for
the combustion air inlet pipe if a large amount of moisture must
be removed. The drain line may be connected to the same
drain as the furnace condensate and the evaporator coil
condensate line ONLY if the inlet air trap drain and the
evaporator coil drain empty into an open segment of pipe
above the drain, See
Trap Kit, refer to those instructions for proper drain
connections.
The tee may also be connected to the intake air pipe on the
side of the casing. See
In any configuration, it will be necessary to add the equivalent
length of the tee (15 feet/5 M) to the Total Equivalent Vent
Length of the venting system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS
Polypropylene venting systems include flexible vent
pipe. These flexible vent pipes have a different equivalent vent length than straight sections of PVC/ABS
DWV vent pipe. Be sure to make the appropriate deductions from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length
(MEVL), or additions to the Total Equivalent Vent
Length (TEVL), when applying flexible vent pipes in
polypropylene venting systems. See the polypropylene
vent system manufacturer’s installation instructions for
details.
When using metric-sized venting systems, use these
equivalencies for obtaining the proper MEVL from the
Tables:
Use 2” Vent Tables for 60mm (o.d.) vent
systems
Use 3” Vent Tables for 80mm (o.d.) vent
systems
Use 4” Vent Tables for 100mm (o.d.) vent
systems
The measured length of pipe used in a single or 2--pipe
termination is included in the total vent length. Include
deductions from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL)
contained in the Venting Tables for elbows and flexible vent
pipe. Factory accessory concentric vent terminations, or pipe
lengths and elbows used for “standard” vent terminations (see
vent termination figures associated with Table 14 do not require
a deduction from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length. Include
a deduction for a Tee when used for Alberta and Saskatchewan
terminations.
NOTE: Polypropylene venting systems MAY require additional
deductions from the MEVL, or additions to the TEVL, for vent
terminations and flexible pipe sections. See the polypropylene
venting system manufacturer’s instructions for details on
equivalent lengths of vent terminations and flexible vent pipes,
and for calculating total vent lengths.
To calculate the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) of the
venting system:
1. Measure the individual distance from the furnace to the
termination for each pipe.
2. Count the number of elbows for each pipe.
3. For each pipe, multiply the number of elbows by the
equivalent length for the type of elbow used. Record the
equivalent length of all the elbows for each pipe.
4. If a Tee is used on the termination (Alberta and
Saskatchewan, when required), record the equivalent
length of the Tee used.
5. Calculate Total Equivalent Vent Length by adding the
equivalent lengths of the fittings to the lengths of the
individual vent and combustion air pipes.
6. When using polypropylene venting systems with flexible
vent pipes, perform adjustments for the equivalent length
of the flexible vent pipe to the calculated total equivalent
venting system length. See the polypropylene vent
system manufacturer’s instructions for details.
the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) shown for
that application for that specific furnace input size.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) to the
MEVL:
a. If the Total Equivalent Vent Length is shorter than the
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of
pipe chosen, then that diameter of pipe selected may
be used.
b. If the Total Vent Length is longer than the Maximum
Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of pipe
chosen, that diameter pipe MAY MOT be used for
venting the furnace. Try the next larger diameter pipe.
NOTE: If the calculated Total Equivalent Vent Lengths results
in different diameter pipes for the vent and combustion air,
select the larger diameter for both pipes.
NOTE: If the Maximum Vent Length for diameter of the pipe
selected is longer than the measured length and the equivalent
length of all the fittings and terminations, recalculate Total
Equivalent Vent Length using the next smaller diameter. If the
Maximum Vent Length is still longer than the longer TEVL of
the vent pipe or combustion air pipe, then that diameter of pipe
selected may be used.
When installing vent systems with pipe lengths of 10 ft. (3.0 M)
or less, use the smallest allowable pipe diameter. Using pipe
size greater than required for short venting systems may result
in loss of efficiency, incomplete combustion, flame disturbance,
or flame sense lockout.
For vent systems longer than 10 ft. (3.0 M), any larger diameter
show in Table 14 may be used.
Combustion Air and Vent Piping
Insulation Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent.
The vent pipe may pass through unconditioned areas. The
amount of exposed pipe allowed is shown in Table 13.
1. Usingwinter design temperature (used in load
calculations), find appropriate temperature for your
application and furnace model.
2. Determine the amount of total and exposed vent pipe.
3. Determine required insulation thickness for exposed pipe
length(s).
4. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a
suspended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with
moisture resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other
equivalent type of insulation.
5. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm,
humid spaces.
6. Install the insulation per the insulation manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
NOTE: Pipe length (ft. / M) specified for maximum pipe lengths
located in unconditioned spaces cannot exceed total allowable
pipe length as calculated from Table 14.

through the furnace, the manufacturer supplied kit
must be used. Failure to properly seal the blower
compartment from the furnace vestibule could result
in the circulation of carbon monoxide throughout the
structure. The vent pipe and combustion air pipe must
be a continuous pipe while passing through the
blower compartment. Seals supplied in this kit must
be installed per the instructions provided. Follow all
procedures outlined in these instructions.
Near Furnace Vent Connections
Offsets in the vertical portion of the vent pipe should be made
with 45 degree elbows instead of 90 degree elbows. Short
horizontal runs of vent pipe are difficult to pitch correctly and
may trap water in the vent pipe. Trapped water in the vent pipe
may result in nuisance pressure switch tripping.
Avoid short horizontal offsets with 90
deg. Elbows. Short offsets can be
difficult to slope and may trap condensate.
Slope vent pipe back to the
furnace at least ¼” per foot
Use 45 deg. Elbows where
possible, to ensure condensate drainage.

Install the Vent and Combustion Air Pipe
With the furnace installed in the required position, remove the
desired knockouts from the casing. It will be necessary to
remove one knockout for the vent pipe and the other knockout
for the combustion air connection. (See Figure 12.)
Use a flat blade screwdriver and tap on the knockout on
opposite sides, where the knockout meets the casing. Fold the
knockout down with duct pliers and work the knockout back
and forth until it is removed. Trim any excess metal from the
knockout with tin snips.
The vent elbow can be rotated to the required location on the
casing if necessary. See Figure 43. To rotate the vent elbow:
1. Loosen the clamp on the inlet of the vent elbow attached
to the inducer.
2. Rotate the vent elbow to the required position. There are
rounded notches on the vent elbow to align it with the
inducer housing for each orientation.
3. Tighten the clamp around the vent elbow. Torque the
clamp to 15 lb--in. See Figure 45--Figure 48.

Venting System Length Calculations
The Total Equivalent Vent Length for EACH combustion air or vent pipe equals the length of the venting system, plus the equivalent
length of elbows used in the venting system from Table 15.
Standard vent terminations or factory accessory concentric vent terminations count for zero deduction.
See vent system manufacturer’s data for equivalent lengths of flexible vent pipe or other termination systems. DO NOT ASSUME
that one foot of flexible vent pipe equals one foot of straight PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length to the Maximum Equivalent Vent Lengths in Tables 14.
Example 1
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUH furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes FOR EACH PIPE 100 feet (30 M) of vent
pipe, 95 feet (28 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, (2) 45º long-radius elbows, and a factory accessory
concentric vent kit.
