EX. 2 —
Example 2 shows the vent pipe exhausting through the
roof and the inlet air coming from the interior of the
house (See Note). The inlet air coming from the inte-
rior of the house must meet combustion requirements
for area, etc., as shown in the section AIR FOR COM-
BUSTION AND VENTILATION in this Installer's
Guide.

EX. 3 —
Example 3 shows the vent exiting one side of the house
while the inlet air is on the opposite side of the struc-
ture. Here the Vent Pipe length must be within the al-
lowable length for the size of Furnace and size of the
Vent Pipe. This example demonstrates that the pipes
do not have to exit on the same side of the structure.

EX. 4 —
The inlet air does not have to come from outside the
structure. Example 4 shows the inlet air (See Note),
may come from the attic if the requirements for com-
bustion air are met as shown in the section AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION.

NOTE:
If only the flue gas pipe is to the outside of the struc-
ture, a straight section of pipe (long enough to exit the
Furnace cabinet) must be attached to the inlet air side
with an elbow (which is 5 to 10 equivalent feet) in-
stalled on the end to prevent dust and debris from fall-
ing directly into the Furnace.
VENT FITTING MATERIAL – PLASTIC
Gas and liquid tight single wall vent fittings, designed
for resistance to corrosive flue condensate, MUST be
used throughout.
Listed in Table 9 are materials that meet these require-
ments. The materials listed are various grades of PVC
and ABS plastic.
PIPE JOINTS: All joints must be fastened and sealed to
prevent escape of combustion products into the build-
ing. These materials are acceptable for U.S. applica-
tions only. All Canadian installations must conform to
ULC S636.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the first joints from the furnace
be connected and sealed with high temperature RTV.
This will enable the pipes to be removed later without
cutting. Be sure to properly support these joints.
BONDING OF PVC
Commercially available solvent cement for PVC must
be used to join PVC pipe fittings. Follow instructions on
container carefully for U.S. applications only. Canadian
applications require primer and cement that are from a
single system manufacturer.
For U.S. applications only:
Pipe and Fittings – ASTM D1785, D2466, D2661, &
D2665
PVC Primer and Solvent Cement – ASTM D2564.
Procedure for Cementing Joints Ref – ASTM D2855
1. Cut pipe square, remove ragged edges and burrs.
Chamfer end of pipe, then clean fitting socket and
pipe joint area of all dirt, grease, moisture or chips.
2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe
socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal
coat of primer to inside surface of socket and out-
side of pipe.
DO NOT ALLOW PRIMER TO DRY BEFORE AP-
PLYING CEMENT.
3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket.
Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe
end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting
movement until it bottoms out.
4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to pre-
vent tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of
the fitting.
