Exhaust Collector Removal, Inspection & Replacement
The Exhaust Collector Gasket seals around the secondary flue tubes and between the jacket
and the collector cover. This seal allows the exhaust to be concentrated into a single
exhaust port and allows a passageway for the condensate to flow into the trap.
If the condensate is dripping from the seal or if a measured reduction in blower pressure is
observed, the gasket may need inspection. To do this, follow the steps listed below.
1. Loosen the hose clamp connecting the condensate tee to the exhaust cover.
2. Remove the ¼” clear hose from the port on the exhaust cover.
3. With a 5/16” socket, loosen the 8 screws sealing the cover to the gasket.
4. Remove the cover and inspect the seal bead on the gasket flange as well as the seal around
the secondary flue tubes. Inspect the gasket to make sure there are no cuts or openings in
the balance of the gasket body.
5. If the gasket is necessary to be removed and replaced, follow the steps below.
a. Pull the gasket off the studs extending beyond the jacket. The gasket flange should be
aligned such that the studs extend through the flange holes.
b. Pull the gasket off the secondary flue tubes.
c. Replace the gasket with the new
gasket by first pushing the gasket
over the secondary flue tubes. This
can be done by hand and should be
pushed over the secondary flue
discharge such that the neck of the
opening should be flush with the end
of the secondary flue tube.
d. Align the gasket flange holes to go
over the studs extending through the
jacket.
e. Place the cover back on the exhaust collector and begin screwing in the flange nuts
that were removed in step 3. This process should be done following the diagram
below. Each flange nut should be tightened until snug or 25 in*lbs.
