Exhaust through Crawl Space Vent Option
All 33" condensing gas furnaces (92%+) are now approved
to be vented down through a crawl space. Ensure a vent
pipe drain kit, 51W18 (USA) or 15Z70 (Canada), is used as
directed through the floor joists and into the crawl space.
See the following figures.
Consult the vent tables for vent lengths and approved
materials.
