WARNING
Category I Venting is venting at a non-positive pressure. A
furnace vented as Category I is considered a fan-assisted ap-
pliance and the vent system does not have to be “gas tight.”
NOTE:
Single stage gas furnaces with induced draft blowers
draw products of combustion through a heat exchanger allow-
ing, in some instances, common venting with natural draft ap-
pliances (i.e. water heaters). All installations must be vented in
accordance with National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1
- latest edition. In Canada, the furnaces must be vented in ac-
cordance with the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA
B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.
NOTE:
Masonry vent kit (MVK-01 and MVK-02) is to only be
used on interior masonry chimneys. To ensure safe and reliable
operation, use only the kit listed for your model.
NOTE:
The vertical height of the Category I venting system
must be at least as great as the horizontal length of the venting
system.

MINIMUM VENT
Under some conditions, larger vents than those shown above
may be required or allowed.
When an existing furnace is re-
moved from a venting system serving other appliances
, the
venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining
attached appliances.
Upflow or Horizontal units
are shipped with the induced draft
blower discharging from the top of the furnace. (“Top” is as
viewed for an upflow installation.) The induced draft blower can
be rotated 90 degrees with the (0270F01119) chimney transi-
tion bottom kit for Category I venting. For horizontal installa-
tions, a four inch single wall pipe can be used to extend the
induced draft blower outlet 1/2” beyond the furnace cabinet.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE INDUCED DRAFT BLOWER ROTATION.
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. In Canada, vent
the furnace in accordance with the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and
amendments.
Venting - Furnace Installed in Horizontal Position
THIS FURNACE IS NOT DESIGN CERTIFIED TO BE HORI-
ZONTALLY VENTED THROUGH AN EXTERIOR SIDE WALL.
The following describes an optional venting procedure when the
furnace is installed in the horizontal left discharge position.
To rotate the induced draft blower clockwise, you will need to
purchase one (0270F01119) chimney transition bottom kit.
1. Disconnect electrical power from the furnace.
2. Disconnect the induced draft blower power leads, flue
pipe, and pressure switch tubing.
3. Remove the round cutout from the right side of the wrapper.
4. Remove and save the four screws that fasten the induced
draft blower to the flue collector box.
5. Remove and save the three screws that hold the chimney
assembly to the induced draft blower.
6. Remove and save the four screws that fasten the chimney
top to the chimney bottom.
7. Remove the chimney transition bottom from the transition
bottom kit.
8. Install the chimney top with the four screws retained
from step 6 onto the new chimney transition bottom from
the transition bottom kit.
9. Remove the induced draft blower and install the new
chimney assembly to it using the three screws retained
from step 5.
10. Rotate the induced draft blower 90 degrees to the right,
feed the flue pipe through the round cutout from the outside
of the wrapper, and fit onto the chimney top assembly.
Secure the pipe to the chimney top from the front, top,
and bottom using (3) screws and rotating the induced
draft blower to properly orient the assembly. NOTE: If
the pipe section is less than 18”, then attach it directly
to the chimney top on 3 sides and feed it through the
round cutout from the inside of the wrapper.
11. Reattach the induced draft blower using the (4) screws
retained from step 3. Ensure the gasket located between
the induced draft blower and collector box is rotated
accordingly.
12. Reconnect the induced draft blower power leads. NOTE:
If the wires are not long enough, pull extra wire from the
wire bundle in the blower compartment.
13. Reconnect the remaining flue pipe, and the pressure
switch tubing. Ensure that all wires and the pressure
switch tubing is at least one inch from the flue pipe, or
any other hot surface.
14. Restore power to furnace.
