VENTING INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY
For Category I installations, the furnace shall be connected to a factory
built chimney or vent complying with a recognized standard, or a
masonry or concrete chimney lined with a material acceptable to the
authority having jurisdiction. Venting into an unlined masonry chimney
or concrete chimney is prohibited.
Where use of an existing chimney is unavoidable, the following rules
must be followed:
1. The masonry chimney must be built and installed in accordance
with nationally recognized building codes or standards and must be
lined with approved fire clay tile flue liners or other approved liner
material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue
gases. THIS FURNACE IS NOT TO BE VENTED INTO AN
UNLINED MASONRY CHIMNEY.
2. This furnace must be vented into a fire clay tile lined masonry chim-
ney only if a source of dilution air is provided, such as by common
venting with a draft hood equipped water heater. If no source of
dilution air is available, Type B vent must be used, or masonry
chimney vent kit S1-1CK0604 must be used. Refer to the instruc-
tions with the kit to properly apply these masonry chimney kits.
3. The chimney must extend at least 3 ft (91 cm) above the highest
point where it passes through a roof of a building and at least two
feet higher than any portion of the building with a horizontal dis-
tance of ten feet.
4. The chimney must extend at least 5 ft (1.5 m) above the highest
equipment draft hood or flue collar.
FAN-ASSISTED COMBUSTION SYSTEM
This appliance is equipped with an integral mechanical means to either
draw products of combustion through the heat exchanger.
Ambient Combustion Air Supply
This type installation will draw the air required for combustion from
within the space surrounding the appliance and from areas or rooms
adjacent to the space surrounding the appliance. This may be from
within the space in a non-confined location or it may be brought into the
furnace area from outdoors through permanent openings or ducts. A
single, properly sized pipe from the furnace vent connector to the out-
doors must be provided. Combustion air is brought into the furnace
through the unit top panel opening.

WARNING
!
This type of installation requires that the supply air to the appliance(s)
be of a sufficient amount to support all of the appliance(s) in the area.
Operation of a mechanical exhaust, such as an exhaust fan, kitchen
ventilation system, clothes dryer or fireplace may create conditions
requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of gas
appliances. A venting problem or a lack of supply air will result in a
hazardous condition, which can cause the appliance to soot and gen-
erate dangerous levels of CARBON MONOXIDE, which can lead to
serious injury, property damage and / or death.
An unconfined space is not less than 50 cu.ft (1.42 m
hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that
area.
14
Rooms communicating directly with the space containing the appli-
ances are considered part of the unconfined space, if doors are fur-
nished with openings or louvers.
A confined space is an area with less than 50 cu.ft (1.42 m
Btu/hr (0.2928 kW) input rating for all of the appliances installed in that
area. The following must be considered to obtain proper air for combus-
tion and ventilation in confined spaces.
Combustion Air Source From Outdoors
The blocking effects of louvers, grilles and screens must be given con-
sideration in calculating free area. If the free area of a specific louver or
grille is not known, refer to Table 6, to estimate free area.
Table 6: Estimated Free Area
Louvers or Grilles
* Do not use less than 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh
+ Free area of louvers and grille varies widely; the installer should follow
louver or grille manufacturer's instructions.
Dampers, Louvers and Grilles (Canada Only)
1. The free area of a supply air opening shall be calculated by sub-
tracting the blockage area of all fixed louvers grilles or screens from
the gross area of the opening.
2. Apertures in a fixed louver, a grille, or screen shall have no dimen-
sion smaller than 1/4" (6.4 mm).
3. A manually operated damper or manually adjustable louvers are
not permitted for use.
4. A automatically operated damper or automatically adjustable lou-
vers shall be interlocked so that the main burner cannot operate
unless either the damper or the louver is in the fully open position.
When a Category I furnace is removed or replaced, the original vent-
ing system may no longer be correctly sized to properly vent the
attached appliances.
An improperly sized vent system can cause CARBON MONOXIDE to
spill into the living space causing personal injury, and or death.
