Increased Clearance Configuration
A. Vent pipe
B. 45º long-sweep elbows
NOTES:
Do not use other commercially available "no hub connectors"
due to possible material conflicts.
The vent/flue pipe can also be secured using a PVC or ABS
elbow or coupling using the appropriate glue (see "Materials
and Joining Methods").
For nondirect vent installations, a minimum of one 90° elbow
should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling to
guard against inadvertent blockage.
Combustion Air Pipe—Direct Vent Installations
On upflow units, secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to
the air intake coupling. On counterflow units secure the
combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the
rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with the
unit. The counterflow rubber coupling allows service removal of
air intake piping internal to the furnace blower compartment.
