Venting (Figures 7 and 8)

This unit is vented directly out the back using the concentric vent 
tube assembly provided. See Figure 2 for vent hole location. This 
hole location can be conveniently moved closer to unit exhaust 
outlet tube to avoid wall stud interference if necessary. The orange 
silicone exhaust elbow would need to be cut to length. Do not locate 
vent directly behind the exhaust outlet. 

The vent provided will accommodate walls up to 10" thick and 
can be cut shorter for thinner walls if desired by using a hacksaw 
or cut-off saw. Be sure to leave the minimum 3/4" of tube length 
extending beyond the outside wall plate. Both the inner and outer 
tube will be cut to the same length as the inner exhaust tube has an 
extension piece which is added during final outside assembly. 

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.

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. Do not extend venting beyond the 32" maximum 
length.

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)  10  x  1/2"  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 9)

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.

Reassembly and Resealing Vent-Air  Intake System
When vent-air intake system is removed for servicing the furnace, 
the  following  steps  will  assure  proper  reassembly  and  resealing 
of the vent-air intake assembly.  Be sure all hose connections  are 
re-secured in place using the hose clamps removed.  Reattach all 
screws securing mounting flanges and inspect all connections for a 
tight fit.  Use high temperature silicone caulk rated at 204°C/400°F 
to reseal the inlet air vent pipe to the mounting plate.
