8. Install the chimney top with the four screws retained
from step 6 onto the new chimney transition bottom from
the transition bottom kit.
9. Install chimney assembly with the three screws retained
from step 5 onto the induced draft blower.
10. Reinstall the induced draft blower rotating it 90 degrees
clockwise from the original upflow configuration using
the four screws retained in step 3. Ensure the gasket
located between the induced draft blower and the collector
box is rotated accordingly.
11. Reconnect the induced draft blower power leads. NOTE:
If the wires are not long enough, pull extra wire from the
wire bundle in the blower compartment.
12. Reconnect the flue pipe, and the pressure switch tubing.
Ensure that all wires and the pressure switch tubing is
at least one inch from the flue pipe, or any other hot
surface.
13. Restore power to furnace.
Counterflow units are shipped with the induced draft blower
discharging from the top of the furnace. ("Top" as viewed for a
counterflow installation.)
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. In Canada, vent the
furnace in accordance with the national standard of Canada,
CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2- latest editions and
amendments.

An exterior masonry chimney is defined as a "Masonry" chim-
ney exposed to the outdoors on one or more sides below the
roof line." The ability to use a clay lined masonry chimney
depends on a parameter not associated with interior chimneys.
This variable is the geographic location of the installation. Re-
searchers have discovered that the winter design temperatures
have a direct impact on the suitability of this type of venting. In
most situations, the existing masonry chimneys will require a
properly sized metallic liner.

HECKLIST
UMMARY
This checklist serves as a summary of the items to be checked
before venting an 80+ furnace into a masonry chimney. In addi-
tion, we recommend that a qualified serviceman use this check-
list to perform a yearly inspection of the furnace venting sys-
tem.
This checklist is only a summary. For detailed information on
each of the procedures mentioned, see the paragraph refer-
enced with each item.
This inspection is based upon a draft topical report, "Masonry
Chimney Inspection and Relining", issued by the Gas Research
Institute. While not yet finalized, we believe this report repre-
sents the best information on this subject which is currently
available.
