2-Pipe and 1-Pipe Vent Termination
NOTE
: Follow the instructions of the vent terminal manufacturer.
These instructions are provided as a reference, only.
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT
TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations in excess of
24 inches (0.6 M) in vertical length be supported by
EITHER
the Direct Vent Termination Kit shown in Table 13 or by
field
−
supplied brackets or supports fastened to the structure.
NOTICE
Determine an appropriate location for termination kit using the
guidelines provided in section “Locating The Vent Termination” in
this instruction.
1. Cut two holes, one for each pipe, of appropriate size for
pipe size being used.
2. Loosely install elbow in bracket (if used) and place assem-
bly on combustion
−
air pipe.
3. Install bracket as shown in Fig. 54 and 56.
NOTE
: For applications using vent pipe option indicated by
dashed lines in Fig. 54 and 55, rotate vent elbow 90
from
position.
4. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using
same procedures as used for system piping.
DO NOT CE-
MENT POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
(Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System ONLY)
When two or more furnaces are vented near each other, two vent
terminations may be installed as shown in Fig. 54, but next vent
termination, or pair of vent terminations, must be at least 36 in.
(914 mm) away from the first two terminations. It is important that
vent terminations be made as shown in Fig. 54 to avoid
recirculation of vent gases.
Inducer Outlet Restrictor
To improve efficiency and operation of 40K, 60K, 100K or 120K
BTUH input models on very short vent systems, an inducer outlet
restrictor is required to be installed on the outlet of the inducer
assembly. The outlet restrictor is shown in the footnote of Table 17
−
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length. The outlet restrictor for the
40K models is shipped in the loose parts bag. See Table 17 for
usage, part numbers and sourcing of 60K, 100K and 120K inducer
outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see Table 17.
Failure to use an outlet restrictor on the 40K input model when
required may result in flame disturbance or flame sense
lockout.
