hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all leads and terminals if wetting
occurs. Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before energizing
the system.

F. GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The CMA/CMC furnace venting system must be installed by a qualified service
person in accordance with local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA
54/ANSI-Z223.1 (Latest Edition) and these instructions.
The following items and local code requirements must be followed:
1. The vent/air intake terminations outlined by Thermo Products in this
manual must be used.
2. The entire vent/air intake system must be made of PVC Schedule 40 pipe
except for the concentric vent kit. NOTE: All CMA/CMC furnaces must be
installed with outside combustion air.
3. The flue vent pipe and combustion air pipe must be at least as large as the
exhaust vent/air intake pipe specified by Thermo Products. No reduction in
size is permissible. The CMA/CMC requires 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
4. This furnace shall not be common vented with any other appliance
including those burning solid fuels.
5. The maximum permissible vent length of straight pipe and number of
elbows permitted for the exhaust vent and combustion air inlet is shown in
Table 2. The elbows shown are in addition to the length of straight pipe
permitted. When counting elbows, all elbows used in the exhaust vent or
combustion air intake must be counted. This includes elbows used inside the
furnace jacket and termination elbows.
Care should be taken to plan out the vent system to be as short as possible
(but not shorter than 8 ft.) and to contain as few elbows as possible to insure
the best possible operation of the furnace.
