Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance
vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that
could be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion, negative
pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside pressure)
will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases
enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install G60DFV(X) furnaces to ensure efficient and safe operation. You must consider combustion
air needs and requirements for exhaust vents. A portion of
this information has been reprinted with permission from
the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). This reprinted
material is not the complete and official position of the ANSI
on the referenced subject, which is represented only by the
standard in its entirety.
In Canada, refer to the standard CSA B149 installation
codes.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
CAUTION
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of
all fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the
same time as the furnace, much more air is necessary to
ensure proper combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants
may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents
and other contaminants which can corrode furnace components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m
3
) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
Page 7
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m
3
) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either from inside the building or from outside.

FIGURE 2
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a
space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by
providing two permanent openings between the two
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64516 mm
2
). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 2.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the
top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305
mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum
free area of 1 square inch (645 mm
2
) per 4,000 Btu (1.17
kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm
2
) per
2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in
the enclosure. See figure 5.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must
be considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening required,
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in
the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that
they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Setting Equipment
WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do
not connect the return air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of
the safety control devices, which could result in personal injury or death.
Install the G60DFV(X) gas furnace as shipped. Do not
install the furnace horizontally.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection, and
installation and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at
unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE − Units with 1/2 hp blower motors are equipped with
three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is
equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a
flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must be re-

WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal
the return air system to the furnace.
In platform installations with bottom return air, the
furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
The return and supply air duct systems must never
be connected to or from other heating devices such
as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property damage could result.

Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−provided high−velocity filter is required for the unit to operate
properly. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards (such as those published by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct
system. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that
has uniform air distribution.
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace with an external static
pressure that exceeds 0.8 inches w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic limit operation.
Ensure that you have made a seal between the supply air
plenum and the furnace and between the furnace and the
return air plenum.
Return Air Plenum
Return air must not be drawn from a room where this
furnace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heater), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room, a
negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas appliance
is operating in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the
room. This reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide
gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the
house by the furnace duct system.
Venting
A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on all
models. Modifying or removing the flue transition will
cause the unit to operate unsafely and will void the unit
certification. The vent connector does not require insula-
tion.
The G60DFV(X) series units are classified as fan−assisted
Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to
the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 /
ANSI Z223.1) in the USA and the current standards of CSA
B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code in Canada. A fan−assisted Category I furnace is an appliance
equipped with an integral mechanical means to either draw
or force combustion products through the combustion
chamber and/or heat exchanger.
NOTE − Use these instructions as a guide. They do not supersede local codes. This furnace must be vented according to all local codes, these installation instructions, and the
provided venting tables in these instructions
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) and are
provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper application, termination, construction and location of vents
must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining document.
Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in
these instructions to properly size and install the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Once the venting system is installed, attach the Disconnected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of
the plenum near the vent pipe. The warning sticker
is provided in the bag assembly.
WARNING
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this furnace must be securely connected to the furnace flue
transition at all times.

IMPORTANT
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace
into a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside
wall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be lined
with either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall
flexible vent lining system which has been sized according to the provided venting tables and the vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions.
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
S The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance
S The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the standards of the CSA
B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in
Canada.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall
of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof assembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting G60DFV(X) series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it
is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Page 13
Never connect a Category I appliance 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.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered
to be exposed to the outdoors.
General Venting Requirements
Vent all G60DFV(X) furnaces according to these instructions:
1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-
able piping runs are found in the provided venting
tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables
in the standards of the CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes for Canada.
2 − In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter
be less than the diameter specified in the provided
venting tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting
tables in the standards of the CSA B149 Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Codes for Canada.
3 − The minimum vent capacity determined by the sizing
tables must be less than the low fire input rating and the
maximum vent capacity must be greater than the high
fire input rating.
4 − Single appliance vents − 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 according to approved
engineering methods.
5 − 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, drafthood outlet area or flue collar area unless
designed according to approved engineering methods.
6 − The entire length of single wall metal vent connector
shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,
and replacement.
7 − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lat-
eral lengths (tables 5 and 6) 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 equivalent (for
example two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow) beyond
two, the maximum capacity listed in the venting table
should be reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum listed capacity).
8 − The common venting tables (7, 8, 9, and 10) were gen-
erated using a maximum horizontal vent connector
length of 1−1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of
connector diameter as follows:
TABLE 4
Connector Diameter
inches (mm)
Maximum Horizontal
Connector Length feet (m)
3 (76) 4−1/2 (1.37)
4 (102) 6 (1.83)
5 (127) 7−1/2 (2.29)
6 (152) 9 (2.74)
7 (178) 10−1/2 (3.20)
9 − If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common venting
tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of two
90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent capacity).
The horizontal length of the offset shall not exceed
1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of common
vent diameter.
10 − The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the
least number of elbows and angles required to complete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent using the shortest possible route.
11 − A vent connector shall be supported without any dips
or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
per linear foot (305 mm) of connector, back toward the
appliance.
12 − Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace
flue collar by self−drilling screws or other approved
means, except vent connectors of listed type B vent
material which shall be assembled according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Joints between sections
of single wall connector piping shall be fastened by
screws or other approved means.
13 − When the vent connector used for Category I ap-
pliances must be located in or pass through a crawlspace or other areas which may be cold, that portion of
the vent connector shall be constructed of listed
double-wall type B vent material or material having
equivalent insulation qualities.
14 − All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-
ings must be installed with the listed clearance to combustible materials and be fire stopped according to local codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC
(Z223.1).
15 − No portion of the venting system can extend into, or
pass through any circulation air duct or plenum.
16 − Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall
not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft
systems operating under positive pressure such as
Category III or IV venting systems.
Page 14
17 − 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 one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum common vent capacity).
18 − The common vent diameter must always be at least as
large as the largest vent connector diameter.
19 − In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than
two consecutive table size diameters over the size of
the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet.
20 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the
chimney.
21 − When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-
cated or common venting system, you must inspect the
venting system’s general condition and look for signs
of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size must conform
to these instructions and the provided venting tables
for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the
standards of the CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes for Canada. If the existing venting
system does not meet these requirements, it must be
resized.
