IMPORTANT
EL296DFE 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 4. As
an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC,
or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the
D1785
same materials. Use transition solvent cement when bond-
