Vent Piping Guidelines
NOTE:
Comfort-Aire/Century
has approved the use of
DuraVent
®
and
Centrotherm manufactured vent pipe and
terminations as an option to PVC. When using the
PolyPro
®
by DuraVent or InnoFlue
®
by Centrotherm
venting system the vent
pipe requirements stated in the
unit installation instruction –
minimum & maximum
vent lengths, termination
clearances, etc. – apply
and must be followed. Follow
the instructions provided
with PoyPro by DuraVent and
InnoFlue by Centrotherm
venting system for assembly
or if requirements are
more restrictive. The PolyPro by
Duravent and InnoFlue
by Centrotherm venting system
must also follow the
uninsulated and unconditioned space
The
GDD95C
can be installed as either a
Non-Direct
Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE:
In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In
Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from
indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are
discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing -- Size pipe according to
Table 10 and Table 11 through Table 12. Count all elbows
in side and outside the home. Table 10 lists the minimum
vent pipe lengths permitted. Table 11 through Table 12 lists
the maximum pipe lengths permitted.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping
Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to Table 14.
In some applications which permit the use of several
different sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may
be used. Contact
Comfort-Aire/Century
Technical Services
Department for assistance in sizing vent pipe in these
applications.
NOTE:
It is acceptable to use any pipe size which fits
within the guidelines allowed in Table 11 or Table 12.
NOTE:
All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back
toward unit. A minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each
12” (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.
NOTE:
Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust
fittings.
NOTE:
Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
Capacity
Min. Vent Length*
045, 070, 090, 110
15 ft or 5 ft plus 2 elbows or
10 ft plus 1 elbow
*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum
length listed.
Table 10. Minimum Vent Pipe Lengths
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and
may block the terminations.
