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 
adversely aects the joint strength or chemical resistance 
of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, strati-
cation, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. 
Refer to TABLE 19 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
EL297UHV 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  19. 
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.
