Testing for Proper Venting and Sufficient 

Combustion Air for Non-Direct Vent 

Applications

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

Failure  to  follow  the  steps  outlined  below  for  each 

appliance  connected  to  the  venting  system  being 

placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide 

poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance 

connected  to  the  venting  system  being  placed  into 

operation, while all other appliances connected to the 

venting system are not in operation.

 WARNING

After  the  95G1UHEX  gas  furnace  has  been  started,  the 

following  test  should  be  conducted  to  ensure  proper 

venting  and  sufficient  combustion  air  has  been  provided 

to the 95G1UHEX as well as to other gas-fired appliances 

which are separately vented.

If  a  95G1UHEX  furnace  replaces  a  Category  I  furnace 

which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, 

the  size  of  the  existing  vent  pipe  for  that  gas  appliance 

must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace 

flue products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized 

for  the  single  water  heater  or  other  appliance.  The  vent 

should  be  checked  for  proper  draw  with  the  remaining 

appliance.

The  test  should  be  conducted  while  all  appliances  (both 

in operation and those not in operation) are connected to 

the venting system being tested. If the venting system has 

been installed improperly, or if provisions have not been 

made for sufficient amounts of combustion air, corrections 

must be made as outlined in the previous section.

1.  Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2.  Visually  inspect  the  venting  system  for  proper  size 

and horizontal pitch. Determine there is no blockage 

or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies 

which could cause an unsafe condition.

3.  To the extent that it is practical, close all building doors 

and  windows  and  all  doors  between  the  space  in 

which the appliances connected to the venting system 

are located and other spaces of the building.

4.  Close fireplace dampers.
5.  Turn  on  clothes  dryers  and  any  appliances  not 

connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust 

fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so 

they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a 

summer exhaust fan.

6.  Follow the lighting instruction to place the appliance 

being inspected into operation. Adjust thermostat so 

appliance will operate continuously.

7.  Use the flame of match or candle to test for spillage 

of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening after 5 

minutes of main burner operation.

8.  If  improper  venting  is  observed  during  any  of  the 

above tests, the venting system must be corrected or 

sufficient combustion/make-up air must be provided. 

The venting system should be re-sized to approach the 

minimum size as determined by using the appropriate 

tables in appendix G in the current standards of the 

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI-Z223.1/NPFA 54 in the 

U.S.A., and the appropriate Natural Gas and Propane 

appliances venting sizing tables in the current standard 

of the CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation 

Codes in Canada.

9.  After  determining  that  each  appliance  remaining 

connected  to  the  common  venting  system  properly 

vents when tested as indicated in step 3, return doors, 

windows,  exhaust  fans,  fireplace  dampers  and  any 

other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition 

of use.

Other Unit Adjustments

Primary Limit

The primary limit is located on the heating compartment 

vestibule  panel.  This  limit  is  factory  set  and  requires  no 

adjustment.

Rollout Switch

This auto-reset switch is located on the front of the intake 

air elbow.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment 

on the cold end header box. This switch checks for proper 

combustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition 

trial. The switch is factory-set and must not be adjusted.

Temperature Rise

After the furnace has been started and supply and return 

air temperatures have been allowed to stabilize, check the 

temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the blower speed to 

maintain the temperature rise within the range shown on 

the unit nameplate. Increase the blower speed to decrease 

the temperature. Decrease the blower speed to increase 

the temperature rise. Failure to adjust the temperature rise 

may cause erratic limit operation.
