Combustion air must not be taken from inside structure
because inside air is frequently contaminated by halogens,
which include fluorides, chlorides, bromides, and iodides.
These elements are found in aerosols, detergents, bleaches,
cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, adhesives, paint, and
other household products. Locate combustion-air inlet as far
as possible from swimming pool and swimming pool pump
house.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
Solvent cements are combustible. Keep away from heat,
sparks, and open flame. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Avoid breathing in vapor or allowing contact with skin or
eyes. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
property damage, personal injury, or death.
All combustion-air and vent pipes must be airtight and
watertight. Pipes must also terminate exactly as shown in Fig.
36, 37, 38, 39, or 40. Failure to follow this warning could
result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
NOTE: The minimum combustion-air and vent pipe length (each)
for these furnaces is 5 ft. Short pipe lengths (5-8 ft) may discharge
water droplets. These droplets may be undesirable, and a 12-in.
minimum offset pipe section is recommended, as shown in Fig. 34,
to reduce excessive droplets from exiting vent pipe outlet.
Combustion-Air and Vent Pipe Diameter
Determine combustion-air and vent pipe diameter.
1. Using Table 7, individually determine the combustion-air and
vent pipe diameters. Pick the larger of these 2 pipe diameters
and use this diameter for both combustion-air and vent pipes.
2. When installing vent systems of short pipe length, use the
smallest allowable pipe diameter. Do not use pipe size greater
than required or incomplete combustion, flame disturbance, or
flame sense lockout may occur.

NOTE: Do not count elbows or pipe sections in terminations or
within furnace. See shaded areas in Fig. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40.
EXAMPLE: An 080-12 size furnace located in Indianapo-
lis, elevation 650 ft above sea level, could be installed in an
application requiring 3 elbows and 32 ft of vent pipe, along
with 5 elbows and 34 ft of combustion-air pipe. Table 6
indicates this application would allow a 2-in. diameter vent
pipe, but require a 2-1/2 in. diameter combustion air pipe
(2-in. pipe is good for 35 ft with 3 elbows, but only 30 ft
with 5 elbows). Therefore, 2-1/2 in. diameter pipe must be
used for both vent and combustion-air pipes since larger
required diameter must always be used for both pipes. If
same installation were in Albuquerque, elevation 5250 ft
above sea level, installation would require 2-1/2 in. vent
pipe and combustion-air pipe. At 5001- to 6000-ft eleva-
tion, 2-in. pipe is only good for 17 ft with 5 elbows, and
2-1/2 in. pipe is good for 70 ft with 5 elbows.
Combustion-Air and Vent Pipe Attachment
NOTE: All pipe joints must be watertight except attachment of
combustion-air pipe to inlet housing connection, since it may be
necessary to remove pipe for servicing.
1. Attach combustion-air pipe as follows:
a. Determine location of combustion-air intake pipe connec-
tion to combustion-air intake housing as shown in Fig. 33
for application.
b. Reposition combustion-air intake housing plug fitting in
appropriate unused intake housing connection.
c. If required, insert perforated disk assembly (factory-
supplied in loose parts bag) in intake housing where
combustion-air intake pipe will be connected. If half disk
set is required, install with shoulder of disk against stop in
combustion-air inlet.
d. Install pipe support (factory-supplied in loose parts bag)
into selected furnace casing combustion-air pipe hole. Pipe
support should be positioned at bottom of casing hole.
e. Insert 2-in. diameter pipe into intake housing.
NOTE: A 2-in. diameter pipe must be used within the furnace
casing. Make all pipe diameter transitions outside furnace casing.
