Concentric Vent And Combustion-Air Termination Kit Installation - Carrier 58MXA Installation, Start-Up, And Operating Instructions Manual

NOTE: Moisture in combustion-air intake may be result of
improper termination. Ensure combustion-air intake pipe is similar
to that shown in Fig. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 so it will not be
susceptible to areas where light snow or other sources of moisture
could be pulled in.
If use of this drain connection is desired, drill out fitting's tap plug
with a 3/16-in. drill and connect a field-supplied 3/8-in. tube. This
tube should be routed to open condensate drain for furnace and
A/C (if used), and should be trapped. (See Fig. 35.)

2. Attach vent pipe as follows:
a. Determine location of vent pipe connection to inducer
housing as shown in Fig. 33 for application.
b. Reposition elastomeric (rubber) inducer housing outlet cap
and clamp to appropriate unused inducer housing connec-
tion. Tighten clamp.
Inducer housing outlet cap must be installed and fully seated
against inducer housing. Clamp must be tightened to prevent
any condensate leakage. Failure to follow this warning could
result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.
c. Install pipe support (factory-supplied in loose parts bag)
into selected furnace casing vent pipe hole. Pipe support
should be positioned at bottom of casing hole.
d. Be certain that mating surfaces of inducer housing connec-
tion, elastomeric coupling, and 2-in. diameter vent pipe are
clean and dry. Assemble the elastomeric (rubber) vent
coupling (with 2 loose clamps) onto inducer housing
connection. Insert the 2-in. diameter vent pipe through the
elastomeric (rubber) coupling and fully into inducer hous-
ing connection until it bottoms on the internal stop. Tighten
both clamps to secure the pipe to inducer housing. Tighten
the clamp screws to 15 in.-lb. of torque.
e. Install casing hole filler cap (factory-supplied in loose parts
bag) in unused combustion-air pipe casing hold.
Vent pipe must be installed and fully seated against inducer
housing internal stop. Clamp must be tightened to prevent any
condensate leakage. Failure to follow this warning could
result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.
NOTE: A 2-in. diameter pipe must be used within the furnace
casing. Make all pipe diameter transitions outside furnace casing.
VENT EXTENSION PIPE
Furnaces with 100,000 Btuh and larger inputs are supplied with a
PVC vent extension pipe (2-in. diameter by 12-in. long). This pipe
has a built-in channel to assist vent condensate disposal. When this
vent extension pipe is supplied, it must be used to connect the field
vent pipe to furnace inducer housing on ALL upflow and down-
flow applications.
NOTE: See label on vent extension pipe for proper installation.
This pipe may be shortened if an elbow is used to connect vent
extension tube to field-installed vent pipe.
3. Working from furnace to outside, cut pipe to required
BURNER
length(s).

4. Deburr inside and outside of pipe.
5. Chamfer outside edge of pipe for better distribution of primer
and cement.
6. Clean and dry all surfaces to be joined.
7. Check dry fit of pipe and mark insertion depth on pipe.

AIR PIPE
NOTE: It is recommended that all pipes be cut, prepared, and
preassembled before permanently cementing any joint.
8. After pipes have been cut and preassembled, apply generous
layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of pipe
to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to end of
pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement in a light,
A93035
uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent buildup of excess
cement. Apply second coat.
9. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1 /4 turn.
Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.
10. Wipe excess cement from joint. A continuous bead of cement
will be visible around perimeter of a properly made joint.
11. Handle pipe joints carefully until cement sets.
12. Support combustion-air and vent piping a minimum of every
5 ft (3 ft for SDR-21 or -26 PVC) using perforated metal
hanging strap.
13. Slope combustion-air and vent pipes toward furnace a mini-
mum of 1/4 in. per linear ft with no sags between hangers.
14. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where vent and
combustion-air pipes pass through roof or side wall.
CONCENTRIC VENT AND COMBUSTION-AIR
TERMINATION KIT INSTALLATION
NOTE: If these instructions differ from those packaged with
termination kit, follow kit instructions.
Combustion-air and vent pipes must terminate outside structure. A
factory accessory termination kit must be installed in 1 of the
installations shown in Fig. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Four termination
kits are available.
1. The 2-in. termination bracket kit is for 1-in., 1-1/2 in., and
2-in. diameter 2-pipe termination systems.
2. The 3-in. termination bracket kit is for 2-1/2 in., 3-in., and
4-in. diameter 2-pipe termination systems.
3. The 2-in. concentric vent/air termination kit is for 1-in., 1-1/2
in., 2-in., and 2-1/2 in. diameter pipe systems when single
penetration of wall or roof is desired.
4. The 3-in. concentric vent/air termination kit is for 2-1/2 in.,
3-in., and 4-in. diameter pipe systems when single penetration
of wall or roof is desired.
NOTE: Shaded parts in Fig. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 are considered
to be termination. These components should NOT be counted
when determining pipe diameter. Roof termination is preferred
since it is less susceptible to damage, has reduced chances to take
in contaminants, and has less visible vent vapors. (See Fig. 36 or
