COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR (cont.)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The furnace must be vented in accordance with these instructions,
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and requirements or codes
of the local utility or other authority having jurisdiction.
DRAFT INDUCER
FURNACE CATEGORY INFORMATION
This furnace is shipped as a Category
I
type induced draft fur-
nace. A Category
I
furnace operates with a nonpositive vent pres-
sure and has a vent gas temperature at least 140°F above the
dew point of the vent gases. A Category
I
type may be a draft
hood equipped furnace or have a fan assisted combustion sys-
tem (induced draft). The inducer is used to pull flue products
through the combustion chamber and as they leave the furnace,
most of the energy has been dissipated. The buoyant effect of the
flue gases provides venting to the outdoors.
During the off cycle, the inducer is off and there is very little flow
through the vent, cooling the vent. During the on cycle there is no
dilution airflow, as with a draft hood type furnace. Although the
vent heats up rapidly without dilution air, the flue products contain
more water vapor, which results in a higher dew point tempera-
ture. It is most
important
that you follow the guidelines in these
instructions to prevent the possible formation of condensation in
the venting system.
As a Category
I
furnace it may be vented vertically with type B-1
vent pipe and also may be common vented, as described in
these instructions.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES
When the furnace is used as a replacement, the existing vent
system should be inspected to assure that there are no obstruc-
tions, blockage, or any signs of corrosion and is properly sized for
use with this furnace.
NOTE:
When the vent table permits more than one diameter of
pipe for a connector or vent, the smallest permitted diameter
must be used.
Vent pipe may be type “B-1,” either rigid or suitable flexible con-
struction that carries a U.L. listing.
Common venting is allowed with vertical B-1 vent systems, and
lined masonry chimneys. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or proper installation practices.
NOTE:
Follow combustion air instructions as outlined in this man-
ual.
Single wall vent connectors to “B-1 vent or masonry chimneys”
may be used under the guidelines of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1.
The entire length of the vent connector shall be readily ac-
cessible for inspection, cleaning and replacement.
“B-1” VERTICAL VENTING
NOTE: Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Type “B-1” vents must be installed in accordance with the terms
of their listings and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
“B-1” vents must be supported and spaced in accordance with
their listings and the manufacturer’s instructions. All vents must
be supported to maintain their minimum clearances from com-
bustible material.
*NOTE: All furnaces have a 3” vent connection as shipped from the fac-
tory. A 3” to 4”, 3” to 5”, or 4” to 5” vent transition may be required when
vertically vented or common vented with metal vent pipes.
THE VENT
TRANSITION CONNECTION MUST BE MADE AT THE FURNACE
VENT EXIT.
It must originate with an adapter if required, at the furnace
flue collar and terminate either in a listed cap or roof assembly. When
common venting, the vent connector size may differ from the above diam-
eters depending on application. See National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 or latest edition tables.
