13. The vent outlet

MUST

be installed to terminate in the same

atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet.

14. The vent system can be installed in an existing unused

chimney provided that:

• Both the exhaust vent and air intake run the length of the

chimney.

• No other gas fired appliance or fireplace (solid fuel) is

vented into the chimney.

• The top of the chimney

MUST

be sealed flush or crowned

up to seal against rain or melting snow so

ONLY

the piping

protrudes.

• The termination clearances shown in

Figure 7

are main­

tained.

15. Furnace applications with vertical vents requiring vent di­

ameter increaser fittings

must

have increaser fittings

installed in vertical portion of the vent. Condensate will be
trapped in the vent if the vent diameter is increased prior to
having an elbow turned upward. This could cause nui­
sance tripping of the pressure switch.

Piping Insulation Guidelines

NOTE:

Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent. If Fi­

berglass or equivalent insulation is used it must have a vapor bar­
rier. Use R values of 7 up to 10', R-11 if exposure exceeds 10'. If
Fiberglass insulation is used, exterior to the structure, the pipe

MUST

be boxed in and sealed against moisture.

1. When the vent or combustion air pipe height above the roof

exceeds 30 ", or if an exterior vertical riseris used on a hori­
zontal vent to get above snow levels, the exterior portion

MUST

be insulated.

2. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a sus­

pended ceiling, the pipe

MUST

be insulated with moisture

resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other equivalent
type of insulation.

If more than five elbows are required, reduce the length of

both the inlet and exhaust pipes 5' for each additional elbow

used.

NOTE: It is allowable to use larger diameter pipe and fitting than
shown in the tables but

not

smaller diameters than shown.

Vent Termination Clearances

3. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm, hu­

mid spaces such as basements.

Sizing Combustion Air and Vent Pipe

Consult Table 3 or Table 4 to select the proper diameter exhaust
and combustion air piping. Exhaust and combustion air piping is
sized for each furnace Btuh size based on total lineal vent length
(on inlet Of outlet side), and number of 90° elbows required. Two
45° elbows can be substituted for one 90° elbow. The elbow or el­
bows used for vent termination outside the structure ARE
counted, including elbows needed to bring termination above ex­
pected snow levels. The elbow inside the furnace on the *9MPD

IS NOT

included in the count.

POISONING,

FIRE

AND

EXPLO­

SION HAZARD

Inlet and outlet pipes may NOT be vented directly above

each other.

Failure to properly vent this furnace can result in death,

personal injury and/or property damage.

1. Determine termination locations based on clearances spe­

cified in following steps and as shown in

Figure 7,

Figure 19,

through

Figure 27.

For

"Concentric Termination

7f/f"clearances, see Figure 45,

Figure 46, Figure 47, Figure 48 and Figure 49 in

"Section 10”

in this manual.

2. The vent termination must be located at least 12 " above

ground or normally expected snow accumulation levels.
