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-Latest Edition, CSA-
2.3-Latest Edition 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 CAN/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
TO P
spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
(P LEN U M )
appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on
1"
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 appliance 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 above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to
their previous conditions of use;
g. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the common venting system must be corrected.
Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA
B149 Installation Codes.
