NOTE - Assembly should be completed within 20
seconds after last application of cement. Hammer
blows should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 - After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at
end of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show
a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may
indicate an improper assembly due to insufficient
solvent.
9 - Handle joints carefully until completely set.
Venting Practices
Piping Suspension Guidelines
SCHEDULE 40
PVC - 5'
all other pipe* - 3'
* See Piping and Fittings Specifications table
NOTE - Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall or
roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to the structure.
Wall Thickness Guidelines
24" maximum
3/4" minimum

FIGURE 22
1 - In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance
on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a
hanger.
2 - When furnace is installed in a residence where unit
is shut down for an extended period of time, such
as a vacation home, make provisions for draining
condensate collection trap and lines.

REPLACING FURNACE THAT WAS PART OF A
COMMON VENT SYSTEM
CHIMNEY
OR GAS
VENT
(Check sizing

heater only)
FURNACE
(Replaced)
If replacing a furnace which was
commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size
of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue
products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for
the single water heater or other appliance. The vent
should be checked for proper draw with the remaining
appliance.
FIGURE 23
Exhaust Piping (FIGURE 26 and FIGURE 27 )
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with instal-
lation following instructions given in piping termination
section.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If vertical
discharge through an existing unused stack is required,
insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even
with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure
and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the living space.
