2. Loosely install elbow in bracket (if used) and place assembly on
combustion-air pipe.
3. Install bracket as shown in

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 40K, 60K, 100K or 120K 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
Vent Length. The outlet restrictor for 40K models is shipped in the loose
parts bag. See
for usage, part numbers and sourcing of 60K,
100K, and 120K inducer outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see
.
Failure to
use an outlet restrictor on the 40K input model 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.
Venting System Length Calculations
The Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) for
EACH
combustion air or vent pipe equals the length of the venting system, plus the equivalent length of
elbows used in the venting system from
.
Standard vent terminations or factory accessory concentric vent terminations count for zero deduction.
See vent system manufacturer’s data for equivalent lengths of flexible vent pipe or other termination systems.
DO NOT ASSUME
that one foot of
flexible vent pipe equals one foot of straight PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length to the Maximum Equivalent Vent Lengths in
Example 1
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUH furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes
FOR EACH PIPE:
70 feet (22 M) of
vent pipe, 65 feet (20 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, (2) 45º long-radius elbows, and a factory accessory
concentric vent kit.
Can this application use 2” (50 mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV vent piping?
Measure the required linear length of air inlet and vent pipe; insert the longest of
the two here
