Air Inlet Piping Materials

Installation and Service Manual

For venting versatility, you can move the air filter assembly and DV box adapter to the right side of the unit. Remove the metal panel on the unit’s right side (see FIG. 25). Remove the filter/bracket assembly from the rear of the unit. Attach the filter/bracket assembly and DV box adapter to the right side opening using the pre-drilled screw holes. Make sure you attach the metal panel to the rear combustion air opening of the unit.

The DV box adapter has an air inlet pipe mounting ring. Connect combustion air inlet piping to the direct vent box mounting ring.

The air inlet pipe(s) must be sealed. Select air inlet pipe material from the following specified materials.

•PVC, CPVC, or ABS*

•Dryer vent or sealed flexible duct (not recommended for roof top air inlet)

•Galvanized steel vent pipe with joints and seams sealed as specified below

•Type-B double-wall vent with joints and seams sealed as specified below.

*Plastic pipe may require an adapter (not provided) to transition between the air inlet connection on the unit and the plastic air inlet pipe.

WARNING: Use only vent or air intake materials specified in this manual. Follow vent pipe manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Mixing of venting materials will void the warranty and certification of this unit.

Sealing Type-B Double-Wall Vent Pipe or Galvanized Vent Pipe

Follow the steps below to properly seal Type-B double-wall vent pipe or galvanized vent pipe.

1.Seal all joints and seams of the air inlet pipe using either aluminum foil duct tape meeting UL Standard 723 or 181 A-P or a high quality UL Listed silicon sealant such as those manufactured by Dow Corning or General Electric.

2.On horizontal runs, do not install vent pipe with seams pointing down. Position vent pipe so that the seams are on the top side of the vent pipe.

3.Secure all joints with a minimum of three sheet metal screws or pop rivets. Apply aluminum foil duct tape or silicone sealant to all screws or rivets installed in the vent pipe.

4.Ensure that the air inlet pipes are properly supported.

Sealing PVC, CPVC, ABS, Dryer Vent, and Flex Duct Vent Pipe

1.Clean the PVC, CPVC, or ABS air inlet pipe using the pipe manufacturer’s recommended solvents. Seal the pipe joints using standard commercial pipe cement.

2.For PVC, CPVC, ABS, dryer vent, or flex duct air inlet piping, use a silicone sealant to ensure a proper seal at the unit inlet and the air inlet cap.

3.For Dryer vent or flex duct, also use a screw-type clamp to attach the inlet vent material to the unit inlet and the air inlet cap.

Properly sealing the air inlet pipe ensures that combustion air will be free of contaminates and supplied in proper volume.

WARNING: Properly seal all joints and seams in the inlet vent piping system. Failure to do so may result in flue gas recirculation, spillage of flue products, and carbon monoxide emissions. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause severe personal injury or death.

Vertical and Sidewall Combustion Air Inlet

IMPORTANT: To prevent recirculation of flue products into the combustion air inlet, follow all instructions in this section.
