Lennox International Inc G61MP PVC Joint Cementing Procedure, Minimum Vent Pipe Lengths

Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter. 1 − Determine the vent termination and its corresponding

equivalent feet value according to table 11.

2 − Determine the number of 90° elbows required for both indoor and outdoor (e.g. snow riser) use. Calculate the corresponding equivalent feet of vent pipe.

3 − Determine the number of 45° elbows required for both indoor and outdoor use. Calculate the corresponding equivalent feet of vent pipe.

4 − Determine the length of straight pipe required.

5 − Add the total equivalent feet calculated in steps 1 through 4 and compare that length to the maximum values given in table 12 for the proposed vent pipe di- ameter. If the total equivalent length required exceeds the maximum equivalent length listed in the appropri- ate table, evaluate the next larger size pipe.

MINIMUM VENT PIPE LENGTHS

MODEL	VENT LENGTH
045, 070,		5 ft. plus 2 elbows of 2", 2−1/2", 3"
090		or 4" diameter pipe
110**	15 ft.*	5 ft. plus 2 elbows of 2−1/2" 3" or 4"
		diameter pipe
135***		5 ft. plus 2 elbows of 3" or 4"
		diameter pipe

*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum equivalent length listed.

**G61MP−48C−110 and G61MP−60C−110 must have 90° street ell (supplied) installed directly into unit flue collar.

***G61MP−60D−135 must have 3" to 2" reducing ell (supplied) installed directly into unit flue collar.

***90° elbows used in configuration of G61MP−60D−135 vent, must be lim- ited to 3" sweep elbows.

B−PVC Joint Cementing Procedure

All cementing of joints should be done according to the specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.

WARNING

DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before placing unit into operation.

1 − Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length.

2 − Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a leaking joint.

3 − Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.

4 − Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.

5 − Uniformly apply liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or ABS cleaner for ABS to inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.

6 − Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in- side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap- plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec- ond coat to end of pipe.

NOTE − Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim- er to dry before applying cement.

7 − Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe, and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into socket until it bottoms out. Turn pipe 1/4 turn during as- sembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to distribute cement evenly.

NOTE − Assembly should be completed within 20 sec- onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows should not be used when inserting pipe.

8 − After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi- cate a defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.

9 − Handle joints carefully until completely set.
