58SU0A: Installation, Start-up, Operating and Service and Maintenance Instructions
VENTING
The furnace shall be connected to a listed factory built chimney or vent,
or a clay-tile lined masonry or concrete chimney. Venting into an unlined
masonry chimney or concrete chimney is prohibited.
When an existing Category I furnace is removed or replaced, the original
venting system may no longer be sized to properly vent the attached
appliances. An improperly sized Category I venting system could cause
the formation of condensate in the furnace and vent, leakage of
condensate and combustion products, and spillage of combustion
products into the living space.
Vent system or vent connectors may need to be resized. Vent systems or
vent connectors, must be sized to approach minimum size as determined
using appropriate table found in the NFGC.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected
to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon
monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for
each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into
operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system
are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as
required in the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and these instructions. Determine that there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies,
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to
the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do
not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is
operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft
hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the
venting system must be corrected in accordance with the current
edition of National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the
venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any
other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of
use.
GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Follow all safety codes for proper vent sizing and installation
requirements, including local building codes, the current edition of
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (NFGC), Parts 12 and
13, the local building codes, and furnace and vent manufacturers'
instructions.
These furnaces are design-certified as Category I furnaces in accordance
with current edition of ANSI Z21.47/CSA 2.3 and operate with a
non-positive vent static pressure to minimize the potential for vent gas
leakage. Category I furnaces operate with a flue loss not less than 17
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
percent to minimize the potential for condensation in the venting system.
These furnaces are approved for common venting and multistory venting
with other fan assisted or draft hood equipped appliances in accordance
with the NFGC, the local building codes, and furnace and vent
manufacturers' instructions. The following information and warning
must be considered in addition to the requirements defined in the NFGC.
1. If a vent (common or dedicated) becomes blocked, the furnace will
be shut off by the draft safeguard switch located on the vent elbow.
2. Do not vent this Category I furnace into a single-wall dedicated or
common vent. The dedicated or common vent is considered to be
the vertical portion of the vent system that terminates outdoors.
3. Vent connectors serving Category I furnaces shall not be connected
into any portion of a mechanical draft system operating under
positive pressure.
4. Do not vent this appliance with any solid fuel burning appliance.
5. Category I furnaces must be vented vertically or nearly vertically
unless equipped with a listed power venter.
6. Do not vent this appliance into an unlined masonry chimney. Refer
to Chimney Inspection Chart,
MASONRY CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
If a clay tile-lined masonry chimney is being used and it is exposed to
the outdoors below the roof line, relining might be required. Chimneys
shall conform to the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid
Fuel Burning Appliances current edition of ANSI/NFPA 211 and must
be in good condition.
USA - Refer to Sections 13.1.8 and 13.2.20 of the current edition of
NFGC NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 or the authority having jurisdiction to
determine whether relining is required. If relining is required, use a
properly sized listed metal liner, Type-B vent, or a listed alternative
venting design.
NOTE: See the current edition of NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, 13.1.8 and
13.2.20 regarding alternative venting design and the Exception.
This furnace is permitted to be vented into a clay tile-lined masonry
chimney that is exposed to the outdoors below the roof line, provided:
1. Vent connector is Type-B double-wall, and
2. This furnace is common vented with at least 1 draft hood equipped
appliance, and
3. The combined appliance input rating is less than the maximum
capacity given in
Table
4. The input rating of each space heating appliance is greater than the
minimum input rating given in
Design Temperature. Chimneys having internal areas greater than
38 square inches require furnace input ratings greater than the input
ratings of these furnaces. See footnote at bottom of
5. The authority having jurisdiction approves.
If all of these conditions cannot be met, an alternative venting design
shall be used, a listed chimney-lining system, or a Type-B common vent.
Inspections before the sale and at the time of installation will determine
the acceptability of the chimney or the need for repair and/or (re)lining.
Refer to the
Fig. 25
to perform a chimney inspection. If the inspection of
a previously used tile-lined chimney:
a. Shows signs of vent gas condensation, the chimney should be
relined in accordance with local codes and the authority having
jurisdiction. The chimney should be relined with a listed metal
liner, or a Type-B vent shall be used to reduce condensation. If a
condensate drain is required by local code, refer to the current
edition of NFGC NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 12.10 for
additional information on condensate drains.
b. Indicates the chimney exceeds the maximum permissible size in
the tables, the chimney should be rebuilt or relined to conform to
the requirements of the equipment being installed and the
authority having jurisdiction.
