II-PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Pipe & Fittings Specications
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 TABLE 11 for approved piping and tting materials.
 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.
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.
 IMPORTANT
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  11. 
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.
