6.Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and inside socket surface of fitting. Cement should be applied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply second coat to end of pipe.
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 PVC pipe 1/4 turn during assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to distribute cement evenly. Do not turn ABS or cellular core pipe.
NOTE: Assembly should be completed within 20 seconds 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 join will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indicate an improper defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9.Handle joints carefully until completely set.
Venting Practices
Piping Suspension Guidelines
NOTE: Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall or roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to the structure.
Wall Thickness Guidelines
Figure 18
If this gas furnace replaces a furnace which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.
Figure 19
Exhaust Piping (Figures 22 and 23)
1.In areas where piping penetrates joist or interior walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
2.When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is shut down for an extended period of time, such as a vacation home, make provisions for draining condensate collection from trap and lines.
3.Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installation following instructions given in piping termination section.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or stack that also serves another gas appliance. If vertical discharge through an existing unused stack is required, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of combustion products into the living space.
