7. Masonry Chimney Venting
Chimney Inspection
All masonry chimney construction
must conform to Standard
NFPA 211-2006 and to any state or local codes applicable. The
chimney must be in good condition and a complete chimney in-
spection must be conducted prior to furnace installation. If the in-
spection
reveals
damage
or
abnormal
conditions,
make
necessary repairs or seek expert help. See "The Chimney Inspec-
tion Chart" Figure 11. Measure inside area of tile-liner and exact
height of chimney from the top of the chimney to the highest ap-
pliance flue collar or drafthood outlet.
Connector Type
To reduce flue gas heat loss and the chance of condensate prob-
lems, the vent connector must be double-wall
Type B vent except
as specified in the listed kit.
Venting Restrictions for Chimney Types
Interior Chimney
- has no sides exposed to the outdoors below
the roofiine. All installations
can be single furnace or common
vented with another draft hood equipped Category [ appliance.
If a clay tile-lined
masonry chimney is being used and it is ex-
posed to the outdoors below the roof line, relining might be re-
quired.
Chimneys shall conform to the Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances
NFPA
211-2006
in the United States and to a Provincial or Territorial
Building Code in Canada (in its absence, the National Building
Code of Canada) and must be in good condition.
U.S.A.-Refer
to Sections
13.1.8 and
13.2.20 of the NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1-2006
orthe authority having jurisdiction to deter-
mine whether relining is required.
If relining is required, use a
properly sized listed metal liner, Type-B vent, or a listed alterna-
tive venting design.
NOTE: See the N FPA 54/AN SI Z223.1-2006,
13.1.8 and 13.2.20
regarding alternative venting design and the exception,
which
cover
installations
such
as
the
Chimney
Adapter
Kits
NAHA001DH
and NAHA002DH,
which are listed for use with
these furnaces.
The Chimney Adapter Kit are listed alternative venting design for
these furnaces. See the kit instructions for complete details.
Exterior
Chimney
- has one or more sides exposed to the out-
doors below the roof line. All installations with a 99% Winter De-
sign Temperature*
below 17°F (-8°C) must be common vented
only with a draft hood equipped Category ! appliance.
*
The 99% Winter Design Dry-Bulb
(db) temperatures
are
found in the 2005 ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook CD
and Chapter 28.
Canada (and U.S.A.)-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
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, FIRE AND
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to properly vent this furnace could result in
personal injury, death and/or property damage.
These furnaces
are CSA (formerly AGA and CGA)
design-certified
for
venting
into exterior
clay
tile-lined
masonry
chimneys
with
a
factory
accessory
Chimney
Adapter
Kit.
Refer to the
furnace
rating plate for correct
kit usage.
The
Chimney
Adapter
Kits are for
use with ONLY
furnaces
having a Chimney Adapter
Kit number
marked on the furnace rating plate.
3,
4.
The combined appliance input rating is less than the maxi-
mum capacity given in Table A, and
The input rating of each space-heating
appliance is greater
than the minimum input rating given in Table B for Masonry
Chimneys for the local 99% Winter 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 Table
B, and
5.
The authority having jurisdiction approves.
If all of these conditions cannot be met, an alternative venting de-
sign shall be used, such as the listed chimney adapter kit with a
furnace listed for use with the kit, a listed chimney-lining
system,
or a Type-B vent.
