Once the venting system is installed, attach the
“Disconnected Vent” warning sticker to a visible area of
the plenum near the vent pipe. See Figure 23. The
warning sticker is provided in the bag assembly. Order
kit 66W04 for additional stickers.
IMPORTANT
These 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. 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. This unit is not approved
for use with horizontal venting.
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.
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this furnace
must be securely connected to the furnace flue transitiion
at all times.
WARNING
Figure 23
Vent Connection
Use self drilling sheet metal screws or a mechanical fastener
to firmly secure the vent pipe to the round collar of the flue
transition. If self drilling screws are used to attach the vent
pipe, it is recommended that three be used. Drive one self
drilling screw through the front and one through each side
of the vent pipe and collar. See Figure 23.
Install the first vent connector elbow at a minimum of six
inches (152 mm) from the furnace vent outlet. See Figure
23.
Venting Using a Masonry Chimney
The following additional requirements apply when a lined
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.
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 Figures 24 and 25 for common venting.
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of
the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile lined must be
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.
An exterior tile lined chimney that is sealed and capped may
be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.
If the existing chimney will not accommodate a listed metal
liner, either the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate
one of these liners or an alternate approved venting method
must be found.
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsulated
fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent pipe
manufacturer. See Figure 24.
