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 a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.

NOTE − Furnace flue collar and air inlet fitting are both made of ABS material. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC, refer to the procedure specified in ASTM D3138..

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 PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur- ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis- tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular core pipe.

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.

G61MP Series Units, Gas Units specifications

Lennox International Inc. has established itself as a leader in the heating and cooling industry, and its G61MP Series Gas Units stand as a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. These gas units are specifically designed for residential applications and are recognized for their reliability, performance, and advanced technology.

One of the main features of the G61MP Series is its variable speed motor, which offers significantly enhanced comfort over traditional single-stage gas units. This technology allows for precise temperature control and improved humidity management. By adjusting its speed according to the heating demand, the unit minimizes temperature fluctuations, leading to a more consistent indoor climate.

Another notable characteristic of the G61MP Series is its ECM blower motor, which operates quietly and efficiently. This motor not only reduces energy consumption but also enhances the overall comfort of the home by providing a steady flow of warm air without the disruptive noise often associated with traditional gas units.

The G61MP Series units are designed with a focus on energy efficiency, boasting an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating. This rating indicates that these units convert a significant portion of the fuel they consume into usable heat, resulting in lower energy bills for homeowners. The units are equipped with a modulating gas valve that further optimizes fuel usage by adjusting the gas flow according to the heating needs of the home.

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of the G61MP Series. These units are built with advanced safety features, including a self-diagnostic control system that continuously monitors the unit’s performance. This system alerts homeowners to any potential issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and ensuring the longevity of the equipment.

The G61MP Series is also designed for ease of installation and servicing. Its compact design allows for flexible placement in various home environments, while the user-friendly access panels simplify routine maintenance tasks.

In conclusion, Lennox International Inc.'s G61MP Series Gas Units deliver a combination of advanced technology, energy efficiency, and reliability, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance their heating systems. With features designed to maximize comfort, minimize energy costs, and ensure safety, these units represent a significant advancement in residential heating solutions.
