b. Termination kit should be positioned where vent vapors
will not damage plants/shrubs or air conditioning equip-
ment.
c. Termination kit should be positioned so it will not be
affected by wind eddy (such as inside building corners) or
accumulation of airborne leaves or light snow, or allow
recirculation of flue gases.
d. Termination kit should be positioned where it will not be
damaged by or subjected to foreign objects, such as stones,
balls, etc.
e. Termination kit should be positioned where vent vapors are
not objectionable.
2. Cut one 4-in. diameter hole for 2-in. kit, or one 5-in. diameter
hole for 3-in. kit.
3. Loosely assemble concentric vent/air termination components
together using instructions in kit.
4. Slide assembled kit with rain shield REMOVED through hole.
NOTE: Do not allow insulation or other materials to accumulate
inside of pipe assembly when installing it through hole.
→
Roof terminations—Locate assembly through roof to appro-
priate height as shown in Fig. 35.
→
Sidewall terminations—Locate assembly through sidewall
with rain shield positioned no more than 1-in. from wall as
shown in Fig. 36.
5. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using same
procedures as used for system piping.
→
6. Check required dimensions as shown in Fig. 35 or 36.
Step 4—Multiventing and Vent Terminations
→
When 2 or more 58MVP Furnaces are vented near each other, each
furnace must be individually vented. NEVER common vent or
breach vent 58MVP furnaces. When 2 or more 58MVP furnaces
are vented near each other, 2 vent terminations may be installed as
shown in Fig. 39, 40, 41, 42, or 43, but next vent termination must
be at least 36 in. away from first 2 terminations. It is important that
vent terminations be made as shown to avoid recirculation of flue
gases. Dimension "A" in Fig. 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43 represents
distance between pipes or rain shields, as touching or 2-in.
maximum separation.

CONDENSATE DRAIN

Step 1—General
Condensate trap is shipped installed in the blower shelf and factory
connected for UPFLOW applications. Condensate trap must be
RELOCATED for use in DOWNFLOW and HORIZONTAL
applications.
Condensate trap MUST be used for all applications.
An external trap is not required when connecting the field drain to
this condensate trap.
The field drain connection (condensate trap or drain tube coupling)
is sized for 1/2-in. CPVC, 1/2-in. PVC, or 5/8-in. ID tube
connection.
Drain pipe and fittings must conform to ANSI standards and
ASTM D1785 or D2846. CPVC or PVC cement and primer must
conform to ASTM D2564 or F493. In Canada, use CSA or ULC
certified schedule 40 CPVC or PVC drain pipe, fittings, and
cement.
When a condensate pump is required, select a pump which is
approved for condensing furnace applications. To avoid conden-
sate spillage, select a pump with an overflow switch.
Furnace condensate is mildly acidic, typically in the pH range of
3.2 to 4.5. Due to corrosive nature of this condensate, a condensate
pH neutralizing filter may be desired. Check with local authorities
to determine if a pH neutralizer is required.
32°F MINIMUM INSTALLED
AMBIENT OR FREEZE
PROTECTION REQUIRED
Unit must not be installed, operated, and then turned and left
off in an unoccupied structure during cold weather when
temperature drops to 32°F or below unless drain trap and
drain line have adequate freeze protection. See Service and
Maintenance Instructions for winterizing procedure.
Step 2—Application
The furnace, A/C, and humidifier drains may be combined and
drained together. The A/C drain must have an external, field-
supplied trap prior to the furnace drain connection. All drain
connections (furnace, A/C, or humidifier) must be terminated into
an open or vented drain as close to the respective equipment as
possible to prevent siphoning of the equipment's drain.
→
See Fig. 44 for example of possible field drain attachment using
1/2-in. CPVC or PVC tee for vent and A/C or humidifier drain
connection.
Outdoor draining of the furnace is permissible if allowed by local
codes. Caution should be taken when freezing ambient may freeze
drain pipe and prohibit draining.
Caution should be taken to prevent draining where slippery
conditions may cause personal injuries. Excessive condensate
draining may cause saturated soil conditions which may result
in damage to plants.
