NOTE - Operation of this furnace in heating mode (indoor
blower operating at selected heating speed) with an ex-
ternal static pressure which exceeds 0.8 inches w.c. may
result in erratic limit operation.
Return Air Plenum
Return air must not be drawn from a room where this
furnace, or any other gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water
heater), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e.,
wood fireplace) is installed. When return air is drawn
from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If
a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pres-
sure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas
may result in incomplete combustion and the formation of
carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be dis-
tributed throughout the house by the furnace duct system.
Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent seal-
ing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet
to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return
air duct to fit the filter frame.
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan-
dards. The solvent shall be free-flowing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that
adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance
of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, strati-
fication, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring.
Refer to TABLE 5 for approved piping and fitting materials.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liquids
and should be kept away from all sources of ignition.
Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when
making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to
reduce fire hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.
IMPORTANT
SLP99DFV exhaust and intake connections are made
of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when
using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to the
PVC fittings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent ce-
ment meeting ASTM specifications, refer to TABLE 5.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended. Metal
or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers.
Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC.

be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manu-
facturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. In
addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace
flue collar must be accessible for inspection.
