II-PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri
-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan
-
dards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that
adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance
of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, strati
-
fication, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring.
Refer to the table 18 below for approved piping and fitting
materials.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liquids
and should be kept away from all sources of ignition.
Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when
making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to
reduce fire hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.

IMPORTANT
Exhaust and intake connections are made of PVC.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement when using
PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to
the PVC fittings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent ce
-
ment meeting ASTM specifications, refer to TABLE 18.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.Low temperature
solvent cement is recommended during cooler weather.
Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hang
-
ers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC
or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket
surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting
socket.
Canadian Applications Only -
Pipe, fittings, primer and
solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this appliance must
be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manu
-
facturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. In
addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace
flue collar must be accessible for inspection.
Venting Options
The EL296DFV is shipped with vent exhaust / air intake
connection at the top cap. See FIGURE 19. Using parts
provided, the furnace may be field modified to have these
connections on the right side of the furnace cabinet. See
