Existing Installations
When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system may
not be sized properly to vent the remaining appliances
(For example: water heater). An improperly sized venting
system can result in the formation of condensate, leakage,
or spillage. The existing vent system should be checked
to make sure it is in compliance with NFGC and must be
brought into compliance before installing the furnace.
NOTE: If replacing an existing furnace, it is possible you
will encounter an existing plastic venting system that is
subject to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.
The pipes involved in the recall are High Temperature
Plastic Vent (HTPV).
recall does not apply to other plastic vent pipes, such
as white PVC or CPVC. Check for details on the CPSC
website or call their toll-free number (800) 758-3688.
The method for disposing of condensate varies according
to local codes. Consult your local code or authority having
jurisdiction. Neutralizer kit P/N 902377 is available for
use with this furnace.
This furnace has multiple options for positioning the vent
pipe as described in the, Vent and Inducer Assembly

drain lines must be J-trapped using field supplied parts.
After the condensate lines are J-trapped, they may be
combined together when routed to the drain.
For Installations where there is limited clearance for the
J-Trap (such as an attic where it may be installed between
ceiling joists), either side of the J-Trap can be shortened
to a minimum of 3 Inches. See
