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 gas furnace has been started, the following

test should be conducted to ensure proper venting and

sufficient combustion air has been provided to the unit as

well as to other gas fired appliances which are separately

vented.

If this 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 a 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/makeup air must be provided.

The venting system should be resized 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.
