Inspections before the sale and at the time of installation will
determine the acceptability of the chimney or the need for repair
and/or (re)lining. Refer to the Chimney Inspection Chart to
perform a chimney inspection.

Subject to change without notice.
If the inspection of a previously used tile!lined chimney:
a. Shows signs of vent gas condensation, the chimney should
be relined in accordance with local codes and the authority
having jurisdiction. The chimney should be relined with a
listed metal liner, Type!B vent, or a listed chimney adapter
kit to reduce condensation. If a condensate drain is required
by local code, refer to the ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54!2009,
Section 12.10 for additional information on condensate
drains.
b. Indicates the chimney exceeds the maximum permissible
size in the tables, the chimney should be rebuilt or relined to
conform to the requirements of the equipment being
installed and the authority having jurisdiction.
A chimney without a clay tile liner, which is otherwise in good
condition, shall be rebuilt to conform to ANSI/NFPA 211!2006 or
be lined with a UL listed (ULC listed in Canada) metal liner or UL
listed Type!B vent. Relining with a listed metal liner or Type!B
vent is considered to be a vent!in!a!chase.
If a metal liner or Type!B vent is used to line a chimney, no other
appliance shall be vented into the annular space between the
chimney and the metal liner.

APPLIANCE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Appliance operation has a significant impact on the performance
of the venting system. If the appliances are sized, installed,
adjusted, and operated properly, the venting system and/or the
appliances should not suffer from condensation and corrosion.
The venting system and all appliances shall be installed in
accordance with applicable listings, standards, and codes.
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design
heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of
furnace model size capacity increments. Heating load estimates
can be made using approved methods available from Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J); American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating,
Engineers; or other approved engineering methods. Excessive
oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to
fail prematurely.
When a metal vent or metal liner is used, the vent or liner must be in
good condition and be installed in accordance with the vent or liner
manufacturer's instructions.
To prevent condensation in the furnace and vent system, the
following precautions must be observed:
1. The return!air temperature must be at least 60°F(16°C) db
except for brief periods of time during warm!up from
setback at no lower than 55°F(13°C) db or during initial
start!up from a standby condition.
2. Adjust the gas input rate per the installation instructions.
Low gas input rate causes low vent gas temperatures,
causing condensation and corrosion in the furnace and/or
venting system. Derating is permitted only for altitudes
above 2000' (610m).
3. Adjust the air temperature rise to the midpoint of the rise
range or slightly above. Low air temperature rise can cause
low vent gas temperature and potential for condensation
problems.
4. Set the thermostat heat anticipator or cycle rate to reduce
short cycling.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds which include chlorides, fluorides, bromides, and
iodides. These compounds are found in many common home
products such as detergent, paint, glue, aerosol spray, bleach,
cleaning solvent, salt, and air freshener, and can cause corrosion
of furnaces and vents. Avoid using such products in the
combustion!air supply. Furnace use during construction of the
building could cause the furnace to be exposed to halogen
compounds, causing premature failure of the furnace or venting
system due to corrosion.
