11. Seal around the combustion air pipe with silicone or foil
tape. SILICONE SEALERS MAY NOT BE APPRO-
PRIATE FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENT SYSTEMS.
SEE POLYPROPYLENE VENT SYSTEM MANU-
FACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
12. After pipes have been cut and pre-assembled, apply gener-
ous layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of
pipe to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to
end of pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement
in a light, uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent
buildup of excess cement. Apply second coat. DO NOT
CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
13. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1/4-in.
turn. Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.
14. Wipe excess cement from joint. A continuous bead of ce-
ment will be visible around perimeter of a properly made
joint.
15. Handle pipe joints carefully until cement sets.
16. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be suppor-
ted to prevent sagging. Support combustion air piping and
vent piping a minimum of every 5 ft. (1.5M)[3 ft. (91M)
for SDR-21 or -26 PVC] using perforated metal hanging
strap or commercially available hangars designed to support
plastic pipe.
17. Prevent condensate from accumulating in the pipes by slop-
ing the combustion air piping and vent piping downward
towards furnace a minimum of 1/4-in. per linear ft. with no
sags between hangers.
18. Complete the vent and combustion air pipe installation by
connecting the concentric vent or by installing the required
termination elbows as shown in Figs. 47, 48 and 49.
For Ventilated Combustion Air Termination, See Fig. 50.
19. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where combus-
tion air pipe and vent pipe pass through roof or sidewail.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
DO NOT use cement to join polypropylene venting systems.
Follow the polypropylene venting system manutfacturer’s
instructions for installing polypropylene venting systems.
Optional Installation of the Vent Pipe
NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR
POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS.
This option provides a disconnect point for the vent pipe. The vent
pipe must be cemented to the plastic vent pipe adapter to maintain
a sealed vestibule. See Fig. 43.
1. Insert a length of vent pipe through the casing into the
outlet of the vent elbow.
bo . Slide the plastic vent pipe adapter over the length of the
vent pipe down to the furnace casing. Mark the pipe where
it is flush with the outlet of the adapter.
3. Remove the pipe from the furnace and the adapter and cut
off any excess pipe.
4. Clean and prime the end of the pipe that is flush with the
vent adapter with a primer that is appropriate for the type of
pipe being used.
5. Re-insert the pipe through the casing into the vent elbow.
6. Tighten the clamp around the outlet of the vent elbow.
Torque the clamp to 15 Ib-in.
7. Apply cement to the end of the pipe and to the inside of the
plastic vent adapter.
8. Slide the adapter over the vent pipe and align the screw
holes in the adapter with the dimples in the furnace casing.
9, Pilot drill 1/8-in. screw holes for the adapter in the casing
and secure the adapter to the furnace with sheet metal
screws.
10. Loosen the clamps on the rubber vent coupling.
11. Slide the end of the coupling with notches in it over the
standoffs in the vent pipe adapter.
12. Tighten the clamp of the coupling over the vent pipe
adapter. Torque the lower clamp around the vent pipe
adapter to 15 Ib-in.
13. Pilot drill a 1/8-in. hole in the combustion air pipe adapter.
14. Complete the vent and combustion air pipe as shown in
“Install the Vent and Combustion Air Pipe.”
FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS
When using polypropylene venting systems, all venting
materials used, including the vent terminations, must be from
the same manufacturer.
Installing the Vent Termination
Roof Terminations
A roof termination of any type will require a 4-in. (102 mm)
flashing for a 2 in. (50 mm ND) concentric vent or a 5-in. diameter
(127 mm) flashing for a 3-in. (80 mm ND) concentric vent kit. For
two-pipe or single pipe vent systems, a flashing for each pipe of the
required diameter will be necessary.
It is recommended that the flashing be installed by a roofer or
competent professional prior to installing the concentric vent. The
terminations can be installed on a flat or pitched roof.
Concentric Vent
Single or multiple concentric vent must be installed as shown in
Fig. 47. Maintain the required separation distance between vents
or pairs of vents as shown in Fig. 47 and all clearance shown in
Fig. 45.
NOTE: Follow the instructions of the vent terminal manufacturer.
These instructions are provided as a reference, only.
Cut one 4-in. (102 mm) diameter hole for 2-in. (60 mm ND) kit,
or one 5-in. (127 mm) diameter hole for 3-in. (80 mm ND) kit in
the desired location.
Loosely assemble concentric vent/combustion air termination
components together using instructions in kit.
Slide assembled kit with rain shield REMOVED through hole in
wail or roof flashing.
NOTE: Do not allow insulation or other materials to accumulate
inside of pipe assembly when installing it through hole.
Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using same
procedures as used for system piping. DO NOT CEMENT
POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
Two-Pipe and Single-Pipe Terminations
Single and two pipe vent must be installed as shown in Fig. 47 and
48. Maintain the required separation distance between vents or
pairs of vents as shown in Fig. 47 and 48 and ail clearance shown
in Fig. 45 and 46.
