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. 41 and 57.
NOTE
: For applications using vent pipe option indicated by
dashed lines in Fig. 41 and 40, 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. 41, 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. 41 to avoid
recirculation of vent gases.
Inducer Outlet Restrictor
To improve efficiency and operation of 60K or 100K 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 16 --Maximum
Equivalent Vent Length. See Table 16 for usage, part numbers and
sourcing of 60K and 100K inducer outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see Table 16.

*PVC and ABS pipe may use either DWV or pressure rated fittings.
**Colored or tinted solvents or primers must be used where required by code in the USA
†ABS plastic does not require a primer before solvent cementing. A cleaner for ABS is recommended to remove any surface residue. ABS
cleaners are not subject to ASTM standards.
