Removal of Existing Furnace
When an existing furnace is removed from a venting
system serving other appliances,
the venting system
may be too large to properly vent the remaining at-
tached appliances.
The following steps shall be followed with each appli-
ance remaining connected to the common venting sys-
tem placed in operation, while the other appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system
are not in operation.
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no block-
age or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other defi-
ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system are located and other spaces
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliance not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex-
haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
(d) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appli-
ance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermo-
stat so appliance will operate continuously.
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the
flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a ciga-
rette, cigar, or pipe.
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting sys-
tem properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp-
ers and any other gas burning appliance to their
previous conditions of use.
(g) If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the common venting system must be
corrected in accordance with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 1.
If resizing any portion of the common venting system,
use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
