Venting
WARNING
The barometric damper shall be in the same atmo-
spheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to
the furnace. Deviation from this practice will cause
improper burner operation and may result in a fire
hazard.
CAUTION
Do not store combustible materials near the furnace
or supply air ducts. The material (such as paint, mo-
tor oil, gasoline, paint thinner, etc.) may ignite by
spontaneous combustion creating a fire hazard.
WARNING
This furnace is certified for use with type L" vent.
B" vent must not be used with oil furnaces.
NOTE − Oil burning equipment may be vented into an ap-
proved masonry chimney or type L vent. (Type L vent is
similar in construction to type B gas vent except it carries a
higher temperature rating and is constructed with an inner
liner of stainless steel rather than aluminum).
Prior to installation of unit, make a thorough inspection of
the chimney to determine whether repairs are necessary.
Make sure the chimney is properly constructed and sized
according to the requirements of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association. The smallest dimensions of the chimney
should be at least equal to the diameter of the furnace vent
connector. Make sure the chimney will produce a steady
draft sufficient to remove all the products of combustion
from the furnace. A draft of at least .04" w.c. (9.9 Pa) is re-
quired during burner operation.
1 − Local building codes may have more stringent installa-
tion requirements and should be consulted before
installation of unit.
2 − The vent connector should be as short as possible to
do the job.
3 − The vent connector should not be smaller than the out-
let diameter of the vent outlet of the furnace.
4 − Pipe should be at least 24 gauge galvanized.
5 − Single wall vent pipe should not run outside or through
any unconditioned space.
6 − Chimney should extend 3 feet (0.9 m) above highest
point where the vent passes through the roof, and 2
feet (0.6 m) higher than any portion of a building within
a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3 m).
7 − The vent must not pass through a floor or ceiling. Clear-
ances to single wall vent pipe should be no less than 6"
(152 mm); more if local codes require it.
8 − The vent may pass through a wall where provisions have
been made for a thimble as specified in the Standards of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters. See figure 7.

9 − The vent pipe should slope upward toward the chim-
ney on horizontal run at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) to the
foot (0.3 m) and should be supported by something
other than the furnace, such as isolation hangers. See
figure 8.

10− Extend the vent pipe into the chimney so that it is flush
with the inside of the vent liner. Seal the joint between
the pipe and the liner.
11− The furnace shall be connected to a factory built chim-
ney or vent complying with a recognized standard, or
masonry or concrete chimney lined with a lining mate-
rial acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
12− When two or more appliances vent into a common
vent, the area of the common vent should not be less
than the area of the largest vent or vent connection
plus 50% of the areas of the additional vent or vent
connection. Chimney must be able to sufficiently vent
all appliances operating at the same time.
