If replacing a furnace which was
commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size
of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue
products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for
the single water heater or other appliance. The vent
should be checked for proper draw with the remaining
appliance.

Exhaust Piping (Figure 25 and Figure 26)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with instal-
lation following instructions given in piping termination
section.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If vertical
discharge through an existing unused stack is required,
insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even
with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure
and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the living space.
