F97CMN and G97CMN: Installation, Start-up, Operating and Service and Maintenance Instructions
!
OPTIONAL VENTING BELOW THE FURNACE
The venting system may be positioned below the furnace ONLY IF the
factory accessory External Vent Trap Kit is used. The External Vent
Trap Kit is only approved for PVC/ABS DWV venting systems.
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
WITH THE EXTERNAL VENT TRAP KIT FOR LAYING OUT
THE VENTING SYSTEM AND THE DRAIN SYSTEM. The
instructions included with this furnace DO NOT APPLY to vent
systems that are located below the furnace.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the instructions outlined below for each appliance
being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning
or death.
The instructions included with this furnace DO NOT APPLY to vent
systems that are located below the furnace. CAREFULLY FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THE EXTERNAL
VENT TRAP KIT FOR LAYING OUT THE VENTING SYSTEM
AND THE DRAIN SYSTEM when all or part of the venting system is
placed below the furnace.
Proper configuration of the venting and drain system is critical when
placing all or part of the venting system below the level of the furnace.
VENT GASSES COULD
DRAINAGE SYSTEM if the instructions provided with the External
Vent Trap Kit are not followed.
Locating the Vent Termination
General
NOTE: Termination Requirements for the Provinces of Alberta and
Saskatchewan are located at the end of this section.
Combustion-air inlet pipe (direct vent/2-pipe system only) and vent pipe
must terminate outside structure, either through sidewall or roof.
Special termination requirements may be required in other Canadian
provinces. Refer to the authority having jurisdiction for clarification
and/or additional clearance requirements.
For vent termination clearance, references to National codes are shown
in Fig. 42 for Direct Vent/2-Pipe system and
Combustion Air system. For exterior termination arrangements, refer to
Fig. 38 for Direct Vent/2-Pipe system and
Combustion Air system. Contact Local code authorities for other
requirements to and/or exemptions from the National codes shown in the
figures.
Roof termination is the recommended termination location. Roof
terminations provide better performance against sustained prevailing
winds. The roof location is preferred since the vent and combustion air
system is less susceptible to damage or contamination. The termination
is usually located away from adjacent structures or other obstacles such
as inside corners, windows, doors or other appliances. It is less prone to
icing conditions, and it often has less visible vent vapors.
Sidewall terminations may require sealing or shielding of building
surfaces with a corrosive resistance material due to the corrosive
properties of combustion products from the vent system, as well as
protection of adjacent structures.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations in excess of 24
inches (0.6 M) or rooftop terminations in excess of 36 inches (1 M) in
vertical length be supported by EITHER the Direct Vent Termination
Kit shown in Table 10 or by field-supplied brackets or supports
fastened to the structure.
When determining appropriate location for termination, consider the
following guidelines:
1. Comply with all clearance requirements stated in
per application.
2. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where vent
vapors will not damage plants/shrubs, air conditioning equipment
or utility meters.
3. Do not locate termination directly into prevailing winds.
Termination should be positioned so that it will not be affected by
sustained prevailing winds over 30 mph, wind eddy, such as inside
building corners, or by recirculation of flue gases, airborne leaves,
or light snow.
4. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where it will
not be damaged by or subjected to foreign objects such as stones,
balls, etc.
5. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where vent
vapors are not objectionable.
Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System
Direct vent (2-pipe) vent and combustion air pipes must terminate
outside the structure. See
required by National Code Authorities. Allowable vent and combustion
air terminations are shown in
