unit operates properly and safely. Use berglass sealing
strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the
plenum and the furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If
a lter is installed, size the return air duct to t the lter
frame.
Pipe & Fittings Specications
All pipe, ttings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards.
The solvent shall be free owing and contain no lumps,
undissolved particles or any foreign matter that adversely
affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the
cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratication,
or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Refer to
Table 2 for approved piping and tting materials.
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are ammable liquids
and should be kept away from all sources of ignition.
Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when
making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to
reduce re hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.
CAUTION
A95UH1D / A93UH1D / 95G1UHD / 92G1UHD exhaust
and intake connections are made of PVC. Use PVC
primer and solvent cement when using PVC vent pipe.
When using ABS vent pipe, use transitional solvent
cement to make connections to the PVC tting in the
unit.
IMPORTANT
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent
cement meeting ASTM specications, refer to Table 2.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using ttings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean
inside socket surface of tting and male end of pipe to
depth of tting socket.
Canadian Applications Only
Pipe, ttings, primer and solvent cement used to vent
(exhaust) this appliance must be certied to ULC S636 and
supplied by a single manufacturer as part of an approved
vent (exhaust) system. When bonding the vent system to
the furnace, use ULC S636 approved One-Step Transition
Cement to bond the pipe to the ue collar, or to bond
the 90° elbow or reducing 90° elbow to the ue collar. In
addition, the rst three feet of vent pipe from the furnace
ue collar must be accessible for inspection.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
specications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
NOTE: A sheet metal screw may be used to secure the
intake pipe to the connector, if desired. Use a drill or self
tapping screw to make a pilot hole.
