MINIMUM VENT PIPE LENGTHS

MIN.EQUIV. VENT
LENGTH
EXAMPLE
070
15 ft*
5 ft. plus 2 elbows of
1-/12”, 2”, 2-1/2” or
3” diameter pipe
090, 110
5 ft. plus 2 elbows
of 2”, 2-1/2” or 3”
diameter pipe
*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum equivalent
length listed. Two 45 degree elbows are the equivalent to one 90 de-
gree elbow.
NOTE -
It is acceptable to use any pipe size which fits
within the guidelines allowed in TABLE 24.
NOTE -
The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. Contact the Appli
-
cation Department for more information concerning sizing
of vent systems which include multiple pipe sizes.
NOTE -
All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope
back toward unit. A minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each
12” (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.
NOTE -
Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust
fittings.
NOTE -
Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diam-
eter.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust
or intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-
ups and may block the terminations.
Flue Coupling
The provided flue coupling must be attached to the ex
-
haust coupling on the furnace top panel. Use provided
bands. See steps below and FIGURE 25.
1 -
Remove the caution sticker from flue coupling .
2 -
Fully insert flue coupling with both bands loosely
attached on the furnace exhaust coupling.
3 -
Insert PVC exhaust pipe through flue coupling.
Ensure vent pipe is fully seated into exhaust
coupling. Tighten both top and bottom bands to 40
Do not use glue flue.
