to be
used, must comply with
the
requirement
that,
other than solid-
fuel/oil
combinations
and
add-ons, wood burning appliances shall
not be
connected
to a
venting system
serving
an
appliance vented
by
another type
of
fuel.
Connect
the
furnace
to an
approved solid
fuel
factory-built chimney:
in
CANADA-CAN/ULC
S629 standard
for
650° chimney,
in the
UNITED
STATES-UL103 Chimneys
for
Residential Type
and
Building Heating Appliances, Factory Built
or a
safe,
clean, sound condition, masonry
chimney
equipped with
an
approved liner:
in
CANADA-
CAN/ULC-S635-M90
Standard
for
Lining Systems
for
existing masonry
or
Factory Built Chimneys
and
Vents,
in the
UNITED STATES-UL1777 Chimney Liners (e.g., stainless steel, clay,
etc.).
The
chimney
must
be
equivalent
to a
minimum
of 7"
round inside diameter
or 8"
round
maximum.
The
chimney
must
be
capable
of
maintaining
a
negative updraft
at all
times
and in all
conditions. Carefully inspect
the
chimney
for
safety
and
dirt
before making connections. Place
the
furnace
as
close
to the
chimney
as
possible.
The
smoke pipe should
be
blue
or
black
steel,
24 ga. or
heavier.
Use as few
turns
as
possible between
the
furnace
and the
chimney,
as
each
90°
elbow adds
10'
of
restriction
and a 45°
elbow adds
5'
of
restriction.
The
barometric damper should
be 7"
diameter
and set at
-.04 W.C.
to
open. Install
the
barometric damper
a
minimum
of 18" and a
maximum
of 24"
from
the
furnace
breech.
Avoid long
horizontal runs
of
smoke pipe. Maintain
a
minimum
of
Yt"
rise
per
foot
of
pipe
from
the
furnace
to the
chimney.
DO NOT run the
pipe downhill from
the
furnace
to the
chimney. Confirm that
the
installation
clearances
are met or
exceeded.
All
pipe joints should
fit
relatively
gas
tight.
Secure
all
smoke pipe
joints with three sheet metal screws
in
each joint.
DO
NOT
pass
the
smoke pipes through
a
wall, floor
or
ceiling
to
reach
the
chimney. Remove
the
smoke pipe
from
the
furnace
and
clean monthly
or as
necessary.
