4. Locate assembly through sidewall with rain shield positioned no
more than 1-in. (25 mm) from wall as shown in Fig. 39.
5. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using same
procedures as used for system piping. DO NOT CEMENT
POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
2-Pipe and 1-Pipe Vent Termination
NOTE: Follow the instructions of the vent terminal manufacturer.
These instructions are provided as a reference, only.
Determine an appropriate location for termination kit using the
guidelines provided in section “Locating The Vent Termination” in
this instruction.
1. Cut two holes, one for each pipe, of appropriate size for pipe size
being used.
2. Loosely install elbow in bracket (if used) and place assembly on
combustion-air pipe.
3. Install bracket as shown in Fig. 39 and Fig. 48.
NOTE: For applications using vent pipe option indicated by dashed
lines in Fig. 39 and Fig. 40, rotate vent elbow 90_ from position.
4. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using same
procedures as used for system piping. DO NOT CEMENT
POLYPROPYLENE FITTINGS.
(Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System ONLY)
When two or more furnaces are vented near each other, two vent
terminations may be installed as shown in Fig. 39, but next vent
termination, or pair of vent terminations, must be at least 36 in. (914
mm) away from the first two terminations. It is important that vent
terminations be made as shown in Fig. 39 to avoid recirculation of vent
gases.
Inducer Outlet Restrictor
To improve efficiency and operation of 26K, 40K, 60K, 120K, or 140K
BTUh input models on very short vent systems, an inducer outlet
restrictor is required to be installed on the outlet of the inducer assembly.
The outlet restrictor is shown in the footnote of Table 14 -Maximum
Equivalent Vent Length. The outlet restrictor for 26K and 40K models is
shipped in the loose parts bag. See Table 14 for usage, part numbers and
sourcing of 60K, 120K, or 140K inducer outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see Table 14. Failure to
use an outlet restrictor on the 40K input models when required may
result in flame disturbance or flame sense lockout.
To install the outlet restrictor:
1. Remove the vent elbow from the inducer outlet.
2. Align the lock tabs on the outlet restrictor with the slots on inside
outlet of the inducer assembly.
3. Snap the outlet restrictor in place.
4. Re-install the vent elbow.
5. Torque vent elbow clamp 15-lb-in.
Venting System Length Calculations
The Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) for EACH combustion air or vent pipe equals the length of the venting system, plus the equivalent length of
elbows used in the venting system from Table 15.
Standard vent terminations or factory accessory concentric vent terminations count for zero deduction.
See vent system manufacturer’s data for equivalent lengths of flexible vent pipe or other termination systems. DO NOT ASSUME that one foot of
flexible vent pipe equals one foot of straight PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length to the Maximum Equivalent Vent Lengths in Table 14.
Example 1
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUh furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes FOR EACH PIPE:
70 feet (22 M) of vent pipe, 65 feet (20 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, (2) 45º long-radius elbows, and a factory accessory
concentric vent kit.
Can this application use 2” (50 mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV vent piping?
NOTICE
!
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations in excess of 24
inches (0.6 M) in vertical length be supported by EITHER the Direct
Vent Termination Kit shown in Table 12 or by field-supplied brackets
or supports fastened to the structure.
Measure the required linear length of air inlet and vent pipe; insert the longest of the two
here
= 70 ft.(22 M)
Use length of the longer of the vent
or air inlet piping system
Add equiv length of (3) 90º long-radius elbows
(use the highest number of elbows for either the vent or inlet pipe)
3 x 3 ft.(0.9 M) = 9 ft.(2.7 M) From Table 15
Add equiv length of (2) 45º long-radius elbows
(use the highest number of elbows for either the vent or inlet pipe)
2 x 1.5 ft.(0.5 M) = 3 ft.(0.9 M) From Table 15
Add equiv length of factory concentric vent term 0 ft. From Table 15
Add correction for flexible vent pipe, if any 0 ft.
From Vent Manufacturer’s
instructions; zero for PVC/ABS DWV
Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) 82 ft.(25 M) Add all of the above lines
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) 95 ft.(29 M) For 2” pipe from Table 14
Is TEVL less than MEVL? YES Therefore, 2” pipe MAY be used
