Combustion Air Intake Options (See Figure 12)
The RF000142 coupling (Figure 8) can be secured directly
to the furnace intake coupling if condensation is a concern.
If the RF000142 is used on the combustion air inlet, it must
be installed with the arrow pointing up. It should be noted,
the combustion air will actually be moving in a direction
opposite of the arrow on the RF000142 coupling. It must
have a field supplied, trapped drain tube free-draining to
proper condensate disposal location. A loop in the drain
tube can serve as a trap. The unused RF000142 drain fitting
should be capped. A tee installed in the intake pipe is also an
acceptable method of catching condensation. It must have
a field supplied, trapped drain tube or pipe, free-draining to
proper condensate disposal location. A loop in the drain tube
can serve as a trap.

CAUTION
Be sure not to damage internal wiring or other
components when reinstalling coupling and
screws.
NOTE: For installations at or above 7,000 feet
altitude, use 3” venting.
