Three sheet metal fasteners (field supplied)
should be used to secure the vent pipe to the
furnace flue. These fasteners should be evenly
spaced around the flue diameter, if possible.
Category I - Common Venting
When an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system serving other appliances, the
venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining appliances. An
improperly sized venting system can result in
the formation of condensate, leakage, spillage,
etc.
The steps outlined in the warning below shall be
followed with each individual appliance con-
nected to the vent system placed in operation,
while all other appliances connected to the vent
system are not in operation:
! WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the
venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide
poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the
venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected
to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required
in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes and these instructions. Deter-
mine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors
between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting
system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom
exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into
operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood
relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of
a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting
system must be corrected in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Instal-
lation Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors,
windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
