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.
