!CAUTION:

Do not allow debris to fall into the fur- nace. This could cause unsafe opera- tion and voids the furnace warranty.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

!WARNING:

FURNACE MUST NOT BE COMMON VENTED WITH OTHER APPLIANCES.

General

This section specifies installation requirements for 2-pipe combustion air piping. The capacity table provided in this section applies to the maximum equivalent lengths of vent and combustion air intake pipe.

These condensing furnaces are classified as "Category IV" appliances, which require special venting materials and installation procedures. Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure and therefore require vent systems which are thoroughly sealed. They also produce combustion condensate, which is slightly acidic and can cause severe corrosion of ordinary venting materials. Furnace operation can be adversely affected by restrictive vent and combustion air piping. Therefore, vent and combustion air piping lengths must conform completely to the requirements of Table 6.

The furnace must be vented to the outdoors.

!WARNING:

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

HAZARD

1.Seal any unused openings in the venting system

2.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine

that there is no blockage or re- striction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3.So far as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.

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

5.Turn on clothes dryers and any other appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

6.Close fireplace dampers.

7.Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliance at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.

8.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes.

9.After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

It must not be vented in common with any other appliance, even if that appliance is of the condensing type. Common venting can result in severe corrosion of other appliances or their venting and can allow combustion gases to
