Determine an appropriate location for termination kit using the
guidelines provided in section “Locating The Vent Termination” in
this instruction.
1. Cut two holes, one for each pipe, of appropriate size for pipe size
being used.
2. Loosely install elbow in bracket (if used) and place assembly on
combustion-air pipe.
3. Install bracket as shown in
and
NOTE:
For applications using vent pipe option indicated by dashed
lines in
, rotate vent elbow 90
_
from position.
4. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using same
procedures as used for system piping.
DO NOT CEMENT
POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
(Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System ONLY)
When two or more furnaces are vented near each other, two vent
terminations may be installed as shown in
, but next vent
termination, or pair of vent terminations, must be at least 36 in. (914
mm) away from the first two terminations. It is important that vent
terminations be made as shown in
to avoid recirculation of vent
gases.
Inducer Outlet Restrictor
To improve efficiency and operation of 26K, 40K, 60K, 120K, or 140K
BTUH input models on very short vent systems, an inducer outlet
restrictor is required to be installed on the outlet of the inducer assembly.
The outlet restrictor is shown in the footnote of
Equivalent Vent Length. The outlet restrictor for 26K and 40K models is
shipped in the loose parts bag. See
sourcing of 60K, 120K, or 140K inducer outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see
.
Failure to
use an outlet restrictor on the 40K input models when required may
result in flame disturbance or flame sense lockout.
To install the outlet restrictor:
1. Remove the vent elbow from the inducer outlet.
2. Align the lock tabs on the outlet restrictor with the slots on inside
outlet of the inducer assembly.
3. Snap the outlet restrictor in place.
4. Re-install the vent elbow.
5. Torque vent elbow clamp 15-lb-in.

!
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations in excess of 24
inches (0.6 M) in vertical length be supported by
EITHER
the Direct
Vent Termination Kit shown in
or by field-supplied brackets
or supports fastened to the structure.
