during assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to
distribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular
core pipe.
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 a
defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9.
Handle joints carefully until completely set.

Venting Practices

Figure 14.
1.
In areas where piping penetrates joist 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 from trap and lines.
Exhaust Piping
(Figure 18 and Figure 19)
1. Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in piping
termination section.
Page 12 of 74
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.
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure
and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the living space.
Vent Piping Guidelines
This unit is installed only as a Direct Vent gas central
furnace.
NOTE: In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing – Size pipe according to
Table 4 and Table 6A through Table 6B. Table 4 lists the
minimum vent pipe lengths permitted. Table 6A through
Table 6B list the maximum pipe lengths permitted.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping
Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to Table 7.
In some applications that permit the use of several different
sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used.
Contact Allied Air Technical Service for more information
concerning sizing of vent systems that include multiple
pipe sizes.
