PVC VENT FITTING MATERIAL

These fittings are available from your Gas Furnace Distributors.

Straight Pipe Sections, Couplings, 45° Elbows, 60° El- bows, 90° Elbows, Vent or Sanitary Tee, or other neces- sary fittings may be 2", 2½", 3", or 4" diameter. The al- lowable materials are shown in Table 7.

VENT FITTING MATERIAL – PLASTIC

Gas and liquid tight single wall vent fittings, designed for resistance to corrosive flue condensate, MUST be used throughout.

Listed in Table 8 & 9 are 2", 2½", 3", and 4" size fittings that meet these requirements. The materials listed are various grades of PVC and ABS plastic.

PIPE JOINTS: All joints must be fastened and sealed to prevent escape of combustion products into the build- ing.

2.After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of primer to inside surface of socket and out- side of pipe.

DO NOT ALLOW PRIMER TO DRY BEFORE AP- PLYING CEMENT.

3.Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket. Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting movement until it bottoms out.

4.Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to pre- vent tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.

5.Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time varies according to fit, temperature and humidity.

**- Allowable temperatures based on classifications covered in ASTM D1784 [Deflection Temps Under Load (264 PSI)]

***- Allowable temperatures based on classifications covered in ASTM D3965 [Deflection Temps Under Load (264 PSI)]

NOTE:

It is recommended that the first joints from the furnace be connected and sealed with high temperature RTV. This will enable the pipes to be removed later without cutting.

Be sure to properly support these joints.

BONDING OF PVC

Commercially available solvent cement must be used to join the pipe and fittings. Follow instructions on the container carefully.

Procedure for Cementing Joints:

1.Cut pipe square, remove ragged edges and burrs. Chamfer end of pipe, then clean fitting socket and pipe joint area of all dirt, grease, moisture or chips.

IMPORTANT:

Products installed in Canada must use vent systems that are certified to the Standard for Type BH Gas Vent- ing Systems (ULC S636) for Class II-A venting systems (up to 65°C). Components of the vent system must not be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe or fittings. Plastic components, specified prim- ers, and glues must be from a single system manufac- turer and not intermixed with other system manufacturer's vent system parts. In addition, the first three feet of the vent pipe must be visible for inspec- tion.
