Materials and Joining Methods

As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement and fittings, 
ABS materials which are in compliance with the following 
specifications may be used. 2" or 3" (5.1 cm or 7.6 cm) ABS 
Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if used in 
Canada, must be CSA listed. Solvent cement for ABS to ABS 
joints must meet ASTM D2235 and, if used in Canada, must be 
CSA listed. The solvent cement for the PVC to ABS transition 
joint must meet ASTM D3138. Fittings must be DWV type fittings 
meeting ASTM D2661 and ASTM D3311 and, if used in Canada, 
must be CSA listed. Carefully follow the manufacturers’ 
instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC 
and/or ABS.

All 90° elbows must be medium radius (

¹⁄₄

 bend DWV) or long 

radius (long sweep 

¹⁄₄

 bend DWV) types conforming to ASTM 

D3311. A medium radius (

¹⁄₄

 bend DWV) elbow measures 3

¹⁄₁₆

(7.8 cm) minimum from the plane of one opening to the centerline 
of the other opening for 2" (5.1 cm) diameter pipe, and 4

⁹⁄₁₆

(11.6 cm) minimum for 3" (7.6 cm) pipe.

Proper Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Piping 

Practices

Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace 
performance. The length, diameter and number of elbows of the 
vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when applicable) affects 
the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All 
piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and 
these instructions.

Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit 
sagging, joint separation and/or detachment from the furnace. 
Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be supported every 3 ft 
to 5 ft (91.4 cm to 1.5 m) and must maintain a 

¹⁄₄

" (6.4 mm) per 

foot downward slope, back toward the furnace, to properly return 
condensate to the furnace’s drain system. Allowances should be 
made for minor expansion and contraction due to temperature 
variations. For this reason, particular care must be taken to 
secure piping when a long run is followed by a short offset of less 
than 40" (101.6 cm).

Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing 
inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. 
All vent/flue piping exposed to freezing temperatures below 35°F 
(1.7ºC) for extended periods of time must be insulated with 

¹⁄₂

(1.3 cm) thick closed-cell foam. Also all vent/flue piping exposed 
outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or in 
unheated areas) must be insulated with 

¹⁄₂

" (1.3 cm) thick 

closed-cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing 
insulation.

Termination Locations

NOTE: Refer to “Location Requirements and Considerations” for 
combustion air contaminant restrictions.

The following bullets and illustration describe the restrictions 
concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and 
combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer 
to “Nondirect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual 
Pipe) Piping” located in this section for specific details on 
termination construction.

All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at least 
12" (30.5 cm) above ground level or the anticipated snow 
level.

Vent terminations (nondirect and direct vent) must terminate 
at least 3 ft (91.4 cm) above any forced air inlet located within 
10 ft (3 m).

NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion air 
intake termination of a direct vent application.

The vent termination of a nondirect vent application must 
terminate at least 4 ft (121.9 cm) below, 4 ft (121.9 cm) 
horizontally from or 12" (30.5 cm) above any door, window or 
gravity air inlet into any building.

The vent termination of a direct vent application must 
terminate at least 12" (30.5 cm) from any opening through 
which flue gases may enter a building (door, window or 
gravity air inlet).

The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically through a roof 
must terminate at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the roof line (or 
the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from 
any vertical wall (including any anticipated snow buildup).

A vent termination shall not terminate over public walkways 
or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a 
nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation 
of regulators, relief valves or other equipment.

The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent 
application should not terminate in an area which is 
frequently dusty or dirty.

NOTE: In Canada, the Canadian Fuel Gas Code takes 
precedence over the preceding termination restrictions.

Canadian Venting Requirements

In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the 
current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA-
listed, ULC-S636 compliant 2" or 3" (5.1 cm or 7.6 cm) diameter 
PVC or ABS pipe, solvent cement and fittings throughout. The 
certified piping should be clearly marked with the ULC Std 
“S636” on the pipe and fittings. Carefully follow the pipe 
manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent 
cementing PVC and/or ABS.

The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney 
provided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is 
insulated and closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant 
flashing.

Standard Furnace Connections

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping 
connections to the furnace are secure, airtight and adequately 
supported.

As shipped, attachment “couplings” for vent/flue and combustion 
air intake pipe connections are provided on the furnace’s top 
cover (upflow) or base pan (counterflow). To use the standard 
connections, field-supplied vent/flue pipe and combustion air 
intake pipe (when applicable) should be secured directly to the 
furnace at these locations.

Vent/Flue Pipe

Vent/flue pipe can be secured to the vent/flue coupling using the 
rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with this 
furnace. See “Standard Connections” illustration. The rubber 
coupling allows separation of the vent/flue pipe from the furnace 
during servicing. Combustion air and vent piping should be 
routed in a manner to avoid contact with refrigerant lines, 
metering devices, condensate drain lines, etc. If necessary, 
clearances may be increased by utilizing two 45º long-sweep 
elbows and creating an “S” joint to provide additional space at 
connection locations. This joint can be rotated on the fitting to 
establish maximum clearance between refrigerant lines, metering 
devices, condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is the equivalent of 
one 90º elbow when considering elbow count.
