II-PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
All pipe, ttings, primer and solvent cement must conform 
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan-
dards.  The  solvent  shall  be  free  owing  and  contain  no 
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that ad-
versely aects the joint strength or chemical resistance of 
the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratica-
tion, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Re-
fer to the TABLE 21 below for approved piping and ttings

 CAUTION
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.
 IMPORTANT
EL296UHV  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 ttings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent ce-
ment 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 manu-
facturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. In 
addition, the rst three feet of vent pipe from the furnace 
ue collar must be accessible for inspection.
