Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas applianc-
es, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly
vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is oper-
ating and the other appliances (which are not operating)
remain connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, you must
correct the system as indicated in the general venting re-
quirements section.
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:
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.

which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system
are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on
clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to
the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts,
so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
