Non-Direct Venting; Non-Direct Venting Termination - Rheem R95P Installation Instructions Manual

GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS AND
NON-DIRECT VENT (cont.)
B. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors
in the confined space.
If the unit is installed where there is an exhaust fan, sufficient
ventilation must be provided to prevent the exhaust fan from cre-
ating negative pressure.
Combustion air openings must not be restricted in any manner.
Figure 16 shows allowable inlet air configurations for fur-
naces installed with non-direct vent.
IMPORTANT: When indoor combustion air is used, the
inlet air opening at the furnace must be protected from ac-
cidental blockage (see Figure 16).
DO NOT USE VENT TERMINATIONS WHICH ARE
NOT SPECIFIED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. USING
VENT TERMINATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECI-
FIED HERE CAN RESULT IN ERRATIC OPERATION,
EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

NON-DIRECT VENTING

TERMINATIONS
These furnaces are design-certified to use a single vent
pipe where all combustion air is taken from indoors and
can be vented either vertically or horizontally.

VENT PENETRATIONS FOR NON-DIRECT VENT FURNACES
ALL VENT RUNS THROUGH UNCONDITIONED
SPACE WHERE BELOW-FREEZING TEMPERA-
TURES MAY OCCUR MUST BE INSULATED WITH
APPROVED INSULATION MATERIAL. AN EQUIVA-
LENT ARMAFLEX OR RUBATEX INSULATION MAY
ALSO BE USED AS LONG AS NO HEAT TAPE IS AP-
PLIED TO THE VENT PIPE. FAILURE TO INSULATE
THE PIPE COULD RESULT IN FREEZING OF WATER
IN THE PIPE THEREBY BLOCKING THE PIPE AND
PREVENTING FURNACE OPERATION.
OPTION 1: VERTICAL TERMINATION
Figure 17 shows a standard non-direct vertical vent termi-
nation with clearances.
OPTION 2: STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMI-
NATION
Figure 18 shows the standard non-direct vent horizontal
termination with minimum clearances.
Maintain 12" (31cm)
minimum clearance
above highest
anticipated snow level.
VENT PENETRATIONS FOR NON-DIRECT VENT FURNACES
For Canadian installa-
WALL PENETRATIONS
tions, terminations must
conform to CSA B149.1-
10, Sect. 8.14.
Install inner coupling
slightly away from
wall to allow for
possible thermal
expansion and
contraction.
