ATTIC INSTALLATION
Line contact is permissible for furnaces installed in
horizontal positions. The intersection of furnace top and
sides forms a line as shown in Figure 6. This line may be in
contact with combustible material.
Figure 6. Typical Attic Installation.
Install a platform under furnace that extends a minimum 30
inches in front of furnace. This provides a work area and
keeps insulating materials away from combustion air
openings. Secure platform to joists.
Note: In horizontal position, condens ate trap hangs as low
as 5 inches below furnace. Provisions must be made for
condensate trap and drain lines. See Section 5 for details
on condensate trap installation.
WARNING : Some insulating materials are
combustible. When a furnace is installed in an attic or other
insulated space, keep all insulating materials at least 12
inches away from furnace and all burner combustion air
openings. Failure to do so could cause fire.
Figure 7. Suspending Using Threaded Rod.
SECTION 4. PROVIDING VENTING
AND COMBUSTION AIR
This furnace must be connected to a plastic venting system
adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere.
It must be vented in accordance with these instructions and
local building codes.
The fu rnaces covered by this manual are design-certified
as Category IV appliances. Category IV appliances operate
with a positive vent static pressure and with a flue-gas
temperature that will produce significant condensate in the
vent. The vent system for this furnace must be installed so
as to prevent leakage of flue gases into the building. This
furnace may be installed using either direct venting or nondirect venting.
WARNING : Do not connect this furnace to a vent
system shared by any other appliance. Do not connect it to
any other type of vent system other than described by these
instructions. Improper venting could allow combustion
products to collect in building during use resulting in nausea
or death by asphyxiation.
CRAWL SPACE INSTALLATION
Furnace can be hung from floor joists or installed on
suitable blocks or pad. Pad or blocks must provide enough
height to eliminate potential for water damage. Maintain
clearances listed in Figure 5.
SUSPENDING FURNACE
Some installations require that the furnace be suspended
from rafters or floor joists. A common way to do this using
threaded rods is shown in Figure 7. Consider this means
when people may walk underneath furnace. Other means
that provide adequate support may be used.
Level furnace from front to back and from left to right and
maintain clearances as described previously.
Page 6 Installer’s Information Manual
GENERAL VENTING GUIDELINES
?? Vent system and combustion air supply components
must be constructed of schedule 40 PVC, PVC -DWV,
SDR26, SDR21 or ABS plastic. Use pipe, fittings,
sealants, and installation procedures that conform to
the following ANSI/ASTM standards:
PVC ASTM D-1785
SDR26, SDR21 ASTM D-2241
PVC-DWV ASTM D-2665
PVC-DWV CELLULAR CORE ASTM F-891
PVC Primer And Solvent Cement ASTM D-2564
ABS Pipe And Fittings ASTM D-2235
Procedure For Cementing Joints ASTM D-2855
?? All condensate formed in the vent must run back
toward fu rnace for proper drainage. Install vent pipe
with no less than a 1/4 inch per foot slope toward
furnace from vent terminal.
?? Install vent pipe without dips or sags that may hold
water. Support horizontal portions of vent pipe every 5
feet (3 feet for SDR-21 or SDR-26 pipe).
?? Protect vent from freezing. Long runs of vent pipe
installed in an unconditioned space may require
insulati on to prevent freezing of condensate.
PVC PIPE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut ends of pipe square using a miter box or PVC
tubing cutter. Remove any burrs, dirt, grease, and
moisture. Check joint for proper fit.
2. Freely coat outside end of pipe and inside of fitting
socket with cleaner-primer. The purpose of the primer
is to dissolve and penetrate the surface of the pipe.
Several coats may be necessary to do this.
3. While primer is still wet, apply a heavy coat of solvent
cement to outside of pipe. Next, apply a generous coat
of cement to the inside of socket.
4. While both surfaces are still wet with cement, insert
pipe into fitting socket until it bottoms out, using a slight
twisting motion (1/4 turn). Hold pipe in socket 30
seconds to allow cement to set.
5. Allow joint to cure before handling.
IN THE UNITED STATES:
?? Allow a minimum clearance of 4 feet from electric
meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief equipment.
?? When non-direct venting, terminal must be at least 4
feet below, or 4 feet horizontally from or one foot above
any door, window or gravity air inlet into a building.
Terminal must also be at least 3 feet above any forcedair inlet located within 10 feet horizontally.
?? When direct venting, vent terminal must be at least one
foot from any opening through which flue gases could
enter a building.
IN CANADA:
?? Allow 6 feet clearance to any mechanical air supply or
service regulator vent and 6 feet horizontally to any gas
meter, electric meter, or relief device.
?? Do not terminate above a meter/regulator assembly
within 3 feet horizontally of the vertical center line of
the regulator
?? Do not terminate within one foot (3 feet for 108,000 and
126,000 Btu models) of a window or door which can be
opened, a non-mechanical-air-supply inlet, or the
combustion-air inlet of any other appliance
Caution: Keep solvent cement container sealed when not
in use. Do not use solvent cement that has thickened or is
gel-like.
WARNING : PVC cements are highly flammable.
Do not use near open flames. A fire or explosion could
result. Avoid prolonged breathing or contact with skin or
eyes.
TERMINATION LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
Vent pipe and combustion-air-supply pipe (when direct
vented) may terminate through a roof or through a sidewall.
Roof termination has the advantages of better pipe
protection and fewer condensate -damage concerns. Use
the following guidelines when choosing a vent location:
?? Flue gases can be corrosive. When sidewall venting,
protect walls with a corrosion resistant material. Also,
terminate away from plants and shrubs.
?? Locate termination consistent with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA
B149 Installation Codes.
?? Locate termination away from other air-intake or
exhaust vents such as dryer vents, other gas appliance
vents, or plumbing vents. Allow at least 3 feet to any
other vent.
?? Terminal must not be located above a walkway,
driveway or within 10 feet of an adjacent building.
?? Do not locate termination underneath a veranda,
porch, or deck.
EXISTING VENT CONSIDERATIONS
When a Category I fu rnace is removed or replaced, the old
venting system may not be properly sized to vent the
remaining appliance(s), for example, a gas water heater.
An improperly sized venting system may promote the
formation of condensa te, leakage or spillage.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance
connected to the old venting system placed in operation,
while any other appliances connected to the venting system
are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA B149
Installation Codes. Determine that there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition;
3. In so far as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between space in which
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are
located and other spaces of building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so
they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan.
Installer’s Information Manual Page 7
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so
appliance shall operate continuously;
7. Test for drafthood equipped appliance spillage at the
drafthood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle;
8. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;
9. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected. Follow
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or
CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes to correct improper
vent operation. Any "common vent" re-sizing must
approach minimum size determined using current
venting tables.
3. Cement 2” PVC pipe, 2” PVC elbow, and flue outlet
together as shown in Figure 8. Position flue outlet
such that street ell will be directly below vent elbow.
DIRECT OR NON-DIRECT VENTING?
This furnace may be installed using either direct venting or
non-direct venting.
A direct-vented fu rnace takes all air for combustion directly
into the fu rnace through a pipe from outdoors. To direct
vent this furnace you must install two pipes to the outdoors.
One pipe supplies combustion air that the furnace needs to
operate. The other pipe vents flue gases to the outdoors.
Use direct venting when indoor air may be contaminated
with chemicals such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine or iodine.
When these chemicals are burned with natural gas or
propane gas, acids are produced which may decrease heat
exchanger life. You should also consider direct venting
when furnace is installed in a space with limited combustion
and ventilation air. See “CONFINED SPACE
INSTALLATION” under the “NON-DIRECT VENTING”
instructions.
A non-direct vented furnace takes all air for combustion
from the room in which furnace is installed. Non-direct
venting requires only one pipe for venting the flue gases to
the outdoors but you must make sure there is enough air for
combustion and ventilation.
VENTING INSTRUCTIONS: DOWNFLOW
1. Select venting option from Figure 9 that fits your
installation. Downflow furnaces can be vented through
top or either side. For direct venting, combustion air
can come through top or either side.
