il
Canada (and U.S.A.)-This furnace is permitted to be vented into
a clay tile-lined masonry chimney that is exposed to the outdoors
below the roof line, provided:
1. Vent connector is Type-B double-wall, and
2. This furnace is common vented with at least 1 draft
hoodequipped appliance, and
3. The combined appliance input rating is less than the
maximum capacity given in Table A, and
4. The input rating of each space heating appliance is greater
than the minimum input rating given in Table B for the
local 99% Winter Design Temperature. Chinmeys having
internal areas greater than 38 square inches require furnace
input ratings greater than the input ratings of these
furnaces. See footnote at bottom of Table B, and
5. The authority having jurisdiction approves.
If all of these conditions cannot be met, an alternative venting
design shall be used, such as the listed chinmey adapter kit with
these furnaces, which are listed for use with the kit, a listed
chinmey-lining system, or a Type-B common vent.
Inspections before the sale and at the time of installation will
determine the acceptability of the chinmey or the need for repair
and/or (re)lining. Refer to the Fig. 33 to perform a chinmey
inspection. If the inspection of a previously used tile-lined
chinmey:
a. Shows signs of vent gas condensation, the chinmey
should be relined in accordance with local codes and the
authority having jurisdiction. The chinmey should be
relined with a listed metal liner, Type-B vent, or a listed
chinmey adapter kit shall be used to reduce condensation.
If a condensate drain is required by local code, refer to
the NFGC NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-2006, Section 12.10
for additional information on condensate drains.
b. Indicates the chinmey exceeds the maximum permissible
size in the tables, the chinmey should be rebuilt or relined
to conform to the requirements of the equipment being
installed and the authority having jurisdiction.
A chinmey without a clay tile liner, which is otherwise in good
condition, shall be rebuilt to conform to ANSI/NFPA 211 or be
lined with a UL listed (ULC listed in Canada) metal liner or UL
listed Type-B vent. Relining with a listed metal liner or Type-B
vent is considered to be a vent-in-a-chase.
If a metal liner or Type-B vent is used to line a chinmey, no other
appliance shall be vented into the annular space between the
chinmey and the metal liner.

APPLIANCE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
Appliance operation has a significant impact on the performance
of the venting system. If the appliances are sized, installed,
adjusted, and operated properly, the venting system and/or the
appliances should not suffer from condensation and corrosion.
The venting system and all appliances shall be installed in
accordance with applicable listings, standards, and codes.
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design
heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of
furnace model size capacity increments. Heating load estimates
can be made using approved methods available from Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J); American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning
Engineers; or other approved engineering methods. Excessive
oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to
fail prematurely. When a metal vent or metal liner is used, the
vent must be in good condition and be installed in accordance
with the vent manufacturer's instructions.
