Ventilated Combustion Air

The ventilated attic space or a crawl space from which the combustion air is taken must comply with the requirements specified in “AIR SOURCE FROM OUTDOORS” in this instruction or in Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). This type installation requires two properly sized pipes. One brings combustion air from a properly ventilated attic space or crawl space and a second pipe that extends from the furnace vent connection (top right of unit) to the exterior of the building. Refer to Table 8 for intake pipe sizing, allowable length and elbow usage. Follow all notes, procedures and required materials in the "COMBUSTION AIR/VENT PIPE SIZING" section in these instructions when installing the combustion air pipe from the unit and into a ventilated attic space or crawl space. DO NOT terminate vent pipe in an Attic or Crawl Space.

Ventilated Combustion Air Termination

Refer to Figures 38 for required attic termination for the combustion air intake pipe. For attic termination, use two 90° elbows with the open end in a downward position. Be sure to maintain 12” (30.5 cm) clearance above any insulation, flooring or other material.

A crawl space combustion air installation consists of a straight pipe from the PVC coupling on the burner box that extends into the crawl space and terminates with a 1/4” (6.4 mm) mesh screen and no elbows.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon- monxide poisoning or death.

The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:

1.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition

2.Close all building doors and windows and all doors.

3.Turn on clothes dryers and TURN ON any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Open the fireplace dampers. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

4.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so the appliance shall operate contin- uously.

5.Test each appliance (such as a water heater) equipped with a draft hood for spillage (down-draft or no draft) at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Appliances that do not have draft hoods need to be checked at the vent pipe as close to the appliance as possible. Use a combustion analyzer to check the CO2 and CO levels of each appliance. Use a draft gauge to check for a downdraft or inadequate draft condition.

6.After it has been determined that each appliance properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fire- place dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their normal condition.

7.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, a problem exists with either the venting system or the appliance does not have enough combustion air (Supply Air from outside) to complete combustion. This condition must be corrected before the appliance can function safely.

NOTE: An unsafe condition exists when the CO reading exceeds 40 ppm and the draft reading is not in excess of - 0.1 in. w.c. (-25 kPa) with all of the appliance(s) operating at the same time.

8.Any corrections to the venting system and / or to the supply (outside) air system must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (latest editions). If the vent system must be resized, follow the appropriate tables in Appendix G of the above codes or for this appliance.

12” minimum between bottom of air intake and any material below.

12” Min.

Specially Engineered Installations

The above requirements shall be permitted to be waived where special engineering, approved by the authority having jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation.

Be sure to instruct the owner not to block this intake pipe.

VENT BLOWER ROTATION

For ease of venting, the vent blower may be rotated 90° in either direc- tion. For upflow installations the vent may exit through the top or either side of the cabinet. For downflow installations, the vent blower must be rotated so that the vent exits through either side of the cabinet. See Fig- ures 24-27 for details.

Smart home integration is also a key feature, allowing for remote access and control through compatible smart devices. This ensures that users can manage their HVAC settings from anywhere, providing convenience and peace of mind.

The TM9V MP is also designed with high-efficiency ratings, often achieving SEER ratings above 18. This excellent performance not only complies with stringent energy efficiency regulations but also qualifies for various rebates and incentives in many regions, making it a financially attractive choice. The unit’s environmentally friendly refrigerant further emphasizes its commitment to sustainability.

In terms of construction and durability, the TM9V MP boasts a rugged design with high-quality components. Its enhanced sound insulation minimizes operational noise, making it suitable for residential settings where quiet operation is essential. The unit is also designed for easy installation and maintenance, which can further reduce lifecycle costs.

Overall, the Johnson Controls TM9V MP represents a blend of advanced engineering, energy efficiency, and user-friendly technology. Its variable speed compressor, smart controls, high-efficiency ratings, and durable construction make it a top choice for anyone seeking an HVAC solution that meets modern comfort and sustainability standards. With the TM9V MP, users can enjoy the benefits of a comfortable indoor environment while contributing to a greener future.
