WARNING
Goodman 53
Failure to follow these instructions can result in bodily
injury or death. Carefully read and follow all instructions
given in this section.
WARNING
Upon completion of the furnace installation, carefully
inspect the entire flue system both inside and outside of
Goodman 54
the furnace to assure it is properly sealed. Leaks in the
flue system can result in serious personal injury or death
due to exposure to flue products, including carbon
monoxide.
IMPORTANT: The venting system must be supported with
mounting straps to keep any weight load from being applied to
the vent blower. Horizontal vent pipe must be supported every
5 ft (1.5 m) and vertical pipe should be supported every 10 ft
(3 m) to avoid sagging and provide rigid support.
Materials
All pipe, fittings, primer, and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards.
The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no lumps,
undissolved particles, or any foreign matter that adversely
affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the
cement. The cement shall show no gelatinization,
stratification, or separation that cannot be removed by
stirring. See Piping and Fitting Specifications chart for
approved piping and fitting materials.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury, fire or explosion, solvent cements
Goodman 55
must be kept away from all ignition sources (for example,
sparks, open flames and excessive heat) as they are
combustible liquids. Avoid breathing cement vapors or
contact with skin and/or eyes.

manufacturer's instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent
cementing of PVC.
To ensure proper furnace operation, this Schedule 40 PVC
Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe must be installed in
accordance with the installation instructions, all local building
codes and ordinances. In their absence, follow the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1), and or
CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes, local plumbing or wastewater
codes, and other appliance codes.
