Goodman ComfortNet GCVC95 Series Installation Instructions Manual page 19

If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a finished
ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate will be objec-
tionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe may be required.
Use 1/2" thick closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex™ or
Insultube™ where required.

ENT LUE AND OMBUSTION
The vent/flue and combustion air pipes may terminate vertically, as
through a roof, or horizontally, as through an outside wall.

1) Elbows and/or tees used in terminations must be included when determin-
ing quantity of allowable elbows in the system.
2) Number of elbows tabulated are for each (Vent/Flue & Combustion Air
Intake) pipe.
3) Minimum requirements for each Vent/Flue & Combustion Air Intake pipe is
five (5) feet in length and one elbow/tee.
4) 2 1/2" or 3" diameter pipe can be used in place of 2" diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg. Long Sweep el-
bows should be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.
Vertical pipe terminations should be as shown in the following
figure. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe - Termina-
tion Locations for details concerning location restrictions. The
penetrations through the roof must be sealed tight with proper
flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.

Horizontal terminations should be as shown in the following figure.
Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Pipe - Termination Loca-

tion for location restrictions. A 2 3/8" diameter wall penetration is
31 28
53 50
required for 2" diameter pipe. A 3" diameter hole is required for a 2
18 15
1/2" pipe and a 3 1/2" diameter hole is required for 3" diameter
39 36
pipe. To secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit
43 40
damage to piping connections, a coupling should be installed on
53 50
either side of the wall and solvent cemented to a pipe connecting
30 27
the two couplings. The pipe length should be the wall thickness
39 36
plus the depth of the socket fittings to be installed on the inside
53 50
and outside of the wall. The wall penetration should be sealed with
39 36
silicone caulking material.
