Testing for Proper Venting and Sucient Combustion Air for Non-Direct Vent Applications
 WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each 
appliance connected to the venting system being placed 
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning 
or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance 
connected to the venting system being placed into 
operation, while all other appliances connected to the 
venting system are not in operation.
After the EL297UHV gas furnace has been started, the 
following test should be conducted to ensure proper vent-
are separately vented.
If a EL297UHV furnace replaces a Category I 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 
for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent 
should be checked for proper draw with the remaining ap-
pliance.
The test should be conducted while all appliances (both 
in operation and those not in operation) are connected to 
the venting system being tested. If the venting system has 
been installed improperly, or if provisions have not been 
must be made as outlined in the previous section.
1 -  Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2 -   Visually inspect the venting system for proper 
size and horizontal pitch. Determine there is no 
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other 
3 -   To the extent that it is practical, close all building 
doors and windows and all doors between the 
space in which the appliances connected to the 
venting system are located and other spaces of the 
building.
4 -  
5 -   Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not 
connected to the venting system. Turn on any 
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom 
exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. 
Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6 -   Follow the lighting instruction to place the appliance 
being inspected into operation. Adjust thermostat 
so appliance will operate continuously.
7 -  
minutes of main burner operation.
8 -   If improper venting is observed during any of the 
above tests, the venting system must be corrected 
     
provided. The venting system should be re-sized 
to approach the minimum size as determined by 
using the appropriate tables in appendix G in the 
current standards of the National Fuel Gas Code 
ANSI-Z223.1/NPFA 54 in the U.S.A., and the 
appropriate Natural Gas and Propane appliances 
venting sizing tables in the current standard of the 
CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation 
Codes in Canada.
9 -   After determining that each appliance remaining 
connected to the common venting system properly 
vents when tested as indicated in step 3, return 
     
and any other gas-burning appliance to their 
previous condition of use.
