GUIDELINES FOR EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEMS DESIGN, CONT......
CHIMNEY AND VENTING (4" diameter is required)
Chimney required for the Magnum Corn Furnace is 4" (4" required on 6500) Class "L" (also known as PL vent).
A starting collar must be used to attach the venting system to the furnace. When connecting into a Class "A" or
masonry chimney an approved 4" liner MUST be used to prevent back drafting of the chimney.
EXISTING CLASS "A" CHIMNEY:
Run 4" Class "L" venting from the furnace connection to a positive
connection with the class "A" chimney. AN APPROVED 4" LINER MUST
BE USED IN CLASS "A" CHIMNEYS. Make sure each joint is firmly
locked in place. Make sure the attachment of Class "L" to the Class "A"
chimney is secure with sheet metal screws. Seal all joints with high- temperature silicone..
Class "L" venting should maintain a pitch on rise from the furnace to the chimney
of at least 1/4" per foot. .
A): "L" Vent venting 4"
EXISTING MASONRY CHIMNEY: Run 4" Class "L" venting from the
furnace connection to a positive connection with the masonry
chimney. Make sure each joint is firmly locked in place. Make sure
the penetration of the Class "L" venting into the masonry chimney
is sound and secured with high- temperature cement. Seal all joints with high-
temperature silicone. Class "L" venting should maintain a pitch on rise
from the furnace to the chimney of at least 1/4" per foot.
AN APPROVED 4" LINER MUST BE USED IN MASONRY CHIMNEYS.
Your new furnace is so efficient; an unlined chimney could remain cold and cause
a downward pressure creating poor burning, incomplete combustion or back draft.

NEW VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS: Install 4" Class "L" venting and
accessories according to manufacturers instructions and local codes
(3" clearance to combustibles). Run Class "L" venting all the way from the
furnace connection to point of termination. Make sure each joint is
firmly locked in place. Seal all joints with high temperature silicone.
Class "L" venting should maintain a pitch on rise from the furnace to
the chimney of at least 1/4" per foot.
