CATEGORY 1 - 450 F. MAX. VENT TEMP.
The venting system must be installed in accordance with Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code
Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition), or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA
B149.1, National Gas and Propane Codes (latest edition) or applicable
provisions of the local building code and these instructions.
The furnace shall be connected to any type of B, BW or L vent connec-
tor, and shall be connected to a factory-built or masonry chimney.
The
furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a sepa-
rate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
The furnace rating plate lists the maximum vent gas temperature. This
temperature must be used to select the appropriate venting materials
and clearances.
It is recommended that the appliance is installed in a location where the
space temperature is 32 °F (0°C) or higher. If the appliance is installed
in a location where the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0°C), the
combustion by-products could condense causing damage to the appli-
ance heat exchanger.
IMPORTANT:
The “VENT SYSTEM” must be installed as specified in
these instructions for Residential and Modular Homes.
This appliance may be common vented with another gas appliance for
residential installations as allowed by the codes and standards listed in
these instructions.
Approved Modular Homes must be vented with an approved roof jack
and may not be common vented with other appliances.
VENTING
Category I venting consists of vertically venting one or more appliances
in B-vent or masonry chimney (as allowed), using single wall metal pipe
or B-vent connectors. Type B-vent system extends in a general vertical
direction and does not contain offsets exceeding 45 degrees. A vent
system having not more than one 60 degree offset is permitted.
The vent system must be attached to the flue collar with a minimum of
two (2) mechanical fasteners, such as screws or rivets. See Figure 21.
