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
creating negative pressure.
Combustion air openings must not be restricted in any manner.
Figure 14 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
accidental blockage (see Figure 14 ).
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 vertically only (no horizontal non-direct
venting is permitted).
VERTICAL TERMINATION
Figure 15 shows a standard non-direct vertical vent ter-
mination with clearances.

AS THERE IS NO HEAT TAPE IS APPLIED TO THE
VENT PIPE. FAILURE TO INSULATE THE PIPE
COULD RESULT IN FREEzING OF WATER IN THE
PIPE THEREBy BLOCkING THE PIPE AND PRE-
VENTING FURNACE OPERATION.
