TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART - BLOCKED FLUE SWITCH (FOR USE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN)

POSSIBLE CAUSES

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1.

Blockage in

A. Check vent pipe for blockage, such as bird nest, wasp nest, twigs, leaves, etc.

 

vent pipe

B. Check inside the bottom of the vent pipe to make sure the top of the draft diverter did not

 

 

 

rip the inner liner causing it to block part of the vent opening.

 

 

C. Check that no insulation from the header plate got caught on top of the draft diverter when

 

 

 

the heater was inserted into the wall.

 

 

D. Check that the vent cap is properly installed, not shoved too far down on the vent pipe.

2.

Burner is

A. Check the manifold pressure.

 

overfiring

B. Check the rate, NOTE: This appliance was orificed for elevations up to 2,000 feet. When

 

 

 

installed at higher elevations refer to orifice chart in controls section of instructions for

 

 

 

proper orifice size and re-orifice accordingly.

3.

Improper vent

3.

Correct vent system.

 

system

 

 

A. Vent too short

A. The vent should terminate a minimum of 12 feet above the floor. See Figure 2. Also, the

 

 

 

top of the vent must be at least 2 foot above any obstacle within a 10 foot radius, including

 

 

 

the roof. See Figure A.

B. Restriction in

B. All type “B” vents shall extend in a generally vertical direction with offsets not exceeding 45

 

vent system

 

degrees, except that a vent system having not more than one 60 degree offset may be allowed.

caused by offsets

 

Any angle greater than 45 degrees from the vertical is considered horizontal. The total

 

 

 

horizontal run of a vent plus the horizontal vent connector shall be not greater than 75 percent

 

 

 

of the vertical height of the vent.

 

 

 

Any offsets used should be as far above the drafthood as possible to allow a venting action to

 

 

 

begin before any restriction is encountered.

C. Incorrect vent pipe

C. Use listed BW type vent pipe. Do not use tansite or any other type of ceramic pipe for venting.

 

 

 

Do not use single wall pipe. When venting into a masonry chimney the chimney must be

 

 

 

properly lined and sized for this gas furnace. The use of type B or flexible chimney liner is

 

 

 

recommended.

4.

Incorrect header

4.

The header plate must be 65-3/4” above the floor plate. See rough-in instructions.

5.

Vent pipe not down

5.

Use a base plate (obtained from the vent pipe manufacturer) on top of our header plate.

 

on the header plate

 

This will lock the vent pipe down and prevent the draft diverter from shoving it up.
