Be sure to deburr the ends with a file after cutting. Installation is 

easy after cutting the wall opening secure the vent terminal box 

in place using the (4) 10 x 1" hex-head screws provided. Locate 

the  box  so  that  the  middle  exhaust  tube  is  directed  toward  the 

furnace exhaust outlet opening. See Figure 8. Attach the black 2" 

flexible inlet air hose to the bottom 2" connector on the vent box 

using a hose clamp.  Secure the other end to the lower inlet air 

box connector using the hose clamp. Do not kink hose. Attach the 

long straight end of the 2" orange silicone exhaust elbow to the 

middle vent terminal tube and rotate the elbow toward the furnace 

exhaust outlet. Secure the hose to the vent box using a hose clamp. 

Carefully push the furnace back closer to the wall and secure the 

exhaust elbow to the 2" exhaust tube exiting the unit. Secure the 

elbow in place using the last remaining hose clamp. The furnace 

can now be secured to the wall.
The furnace can be vented with up to a maximum length of 15' 

(4.6m) including termination vent and using  2 - 90° elbows.   Also, 

the furnace can be vented with up to a maximum length of 10' 

(3m) including termination vent and using 3 - 90° elbows.     For 

longer vent lengths order the vent kit, Part Number DVE-1 and 

DVE-2.  See Figures 11 and 12 illustrating extended vent run and 

venting options.                  

Note:

  If the extended vent kit is used and the exhaust vent pipe 

is run through a cold space, such as an attic or a garage, the pipe 

should be insulated using 1/2" (13mm) thick fiberglass insulation 

or  equivalent  to  keep  the  flue  products  warm  enough  to  avoid  

condensation.  Also, slope 1/4" (6mm) per foot (305mm) the vent 

terminal horizontal run downward toward the outside of the house 

to  assure  any  condensate  flow  out  of  vent  system.  Horizontal 

vent pipe runs of 5 feet (1.5m) or more in length may accumulate 

condensation in the exhaust pipe and must, therefore, be sloped 

downward to drain any condensate out of the end vent terminal.  

Use straps or other suitable supports spaced every 5 feet (1.5m) to 

adequately hold pipe.  Be sure to avoid any low spots or sags in 

pipe run.  Be sure all connections are tight using the hose clamps 

as shown in Figure 9, "Vent Coupling Connections."
For wall depths thicker than 10" (254mm) order the extended vent 

terminal  kit  which  will  cover  walls  to  32"  (813mm)  thickness.  

The vent pipes must be cut to length to assemble for desired wall 

thickness.
For extended venting, it is also acceptable to use 2" (51mm) diameter 

PVC or ABS pipe for the 

combustion air intake supply 

piping 

only 

to the unit.  If this is used, the pipe and fittings must conform 

to ANSI and ASTM Standards D1785 for SCH. 40 PVC, D2665 

for PVC-DWV, D2241 for SDR-21 and SDR-26 PVC, D2661 for 

ABS-DWV and F628 for SCH. 40 ABS.  Pipe cement and primer 

must be used and conform to ASTM Standard D2564 for PVC or 

D2235 for ABS.  

This PVC or ABS pipe must not be used for 

the exhaust vent pipe run.

Note:  Type SDR pipe is not approved for use in Canada.
For  new  construction  installation,  the  intake  and  exhaust  vent 

can be run inside a wall, a vertical or horizontal distance prior to 

exiting the wall.  This can be done but not the preferred method of 

installation due to the inability to perform periodic inspection of 

the vent system.  In doing this, it is important to securely seal the 

vent system and slope all horizontal runs downward 1/4" (6mm) 

per foot (305mm) toward the vent terminal outside to drain out 

any condensate.  It is also necessary to adequately support both the 

exhaust and intake and to center the exhaust pipe in the wall.  
Be sure to consult local codes prior to installation to verify allowable 

procedures.

Installation of Shroud

To complete inside installation, secure furnace to the wall bracket 

by attaching the two wall mounting brackets to the wall bracket 

by using (2) 10 x 1/2" (13mm) hex-head screws provided (See 

Figures 4 and 6).  To attach the right shroud and left shroud to the 

casing back, the 3/4" wide flange on the shroud must be positioned 

toward the casing side. When positioned correctly, the (6) louvers 

on the shroud will be facing up and the knock-out on the shroud 

will be facing down. Attach the right shroud and left shroud to the 

casing back with (3) 10x1/2" hex-head screws supplied in hardware 

package, for each shroud. Attach top shroud to right shroud and 

left shroud with (4) Phillips-head screws, supplied in hardware 

package. Insert air filter into top shroud.

Attention:

 If the right shroud and left shroud are installed incorrectly, 

with the 3/4" wide flanges facing inward, the top shroud will not 

be able to be installed onto the side shrouds. The top shroud will 

appear to be 2 inches, too narrow. 

Vent Terminal (Figure 10)

Place the 6 3/8" x 6 3/8" (162mm x 162mm) black foam, wall plate 

gasket within the mounting plate.  The 4  3/4" (121mm) diameter 

hole in the black foam gasket will allow for installation of the 

concentric vent tube assembly. Slide the outside mounting plate into 

place on the concentric vent tube assembly. The outside mounting 

plate should seal against the face of the building and be secured 

in place using (4) 10 x 1" hex-head screws.  Be sure to caulk and 

seal around the pipe on the exterior using high temperature exterior 

grade, silicone caulk rated at 204°C/400°F.  Wipe some silicone 

sealant on the 2" (51mm) exhaust pipe extension. The end cap can 

be pushed into place on the exhaust outlet tube.  

Attention: 

The opening on the bottom of the end cap must be 

positioned toward the ground. The opening on the bottom cannot 

be  pivoted  to  the  right  or  left,  it  must  be  centered  toward  the 

ground.
