Existing Furnace Removal
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system serving other appliances, the venting
system may be too large to properly vent the remaining
attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the
American National Standard/National Standard of Canada
for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.47-1998,
CSA-2.3-M98 Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to
the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances
connected to the venting system are not in operation:
a. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
b. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch,
as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the
CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine
that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition;
c. In so far as practical, close all building doors and windows and
all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected
to the venting system are located and other spaces of the
building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not con-
nected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
fireplace dampers;
d. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall
operate continuously;
e. Test for draft hood equipped spillage at the draft hood relief
opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame
of a match or candle;
f. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to
the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined

terminal in addition to a "W1" terminal. Refer to Electrical
Connections for proper hookup.
In an area having good air circulation, locate the thermo-

not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any
of the following:
