VENTING
NOTE: Planning for the venting system should be done in
conjunction with planning for the ductwork, drainage, and
furnace accessories, such as air cleaners and humidifiers.
Begin assembling the venting system AFTER the furnace is set
in place in the required orientation.
Venting for this furnace shall follow all Local codes for category
IV venting systems. This furnace is CSA approved for venting
with PVC/ABS DWV venting systems. This furnace is also CSA
approved for venting the M&G DuraVent ® PolyPro ®
polyproplylene venting systems.
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT CONTAIN
DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS. Refer to the
polyproplylene venting system manufacturer's installation
instructions for the polyproplylene venting system installation.
NOTE: When using polypropylene venting systems, all venting
materials used, including the vent terminations, must be from
the same manufacturer.
Special Venting Requirements for Installations
in Canada
Installation in Canada must conform to the requirements of
CAN/CSA B149 code. Vent systems must be composed of
pipe, fittings, cements, and primers listed to ULC $636. The
special vent fittings, accessory concentric vent termination kits,
and accessory external drain trap available from the furnace
manufacturer have been certified to ULC $636 for use with
those Royal Pipe and IPEX PVC vent components which have
been certified to this standard. In Canada, the primer and
cement must be of the same manufacturer as the vent system
- GVS-65 Primer (Purple) for Royal Pipe or IPEX System 636,
PVC/CPVC Primer, Purple Violet for Flue Gas Venting and
GVS-65 PVC Solvent Cement for Royal Pipe or IPEX System
636(1)t, PVC Cement for Flue Gas Venting, rated Class IIA, 65
deg C. must be used with this venting system - do not mix
primers and cements from one manufacturer with a vent
system from a different manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions in the use of primer and cement
and never use primer or cement beyond its expiration date.
The safe operation, as defined by ULC $636, of the vent
system is based on following these installation instructions, the
vent system manufacturer's installation instructions, and proper
use of primer and cement. All fire stop and roof flashing used
with this system must be UL listed material. Acceptability under
Canadian standard CAN/CSA B149 is dependent upon full
compliance with all installation instructions. Under this
standard, it is recommended that the vent system be checked
once a year by qualified service personnel.
The authority having jurisdiction (gas inspection authority,
municipal building department, fire department, etc) should be
consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a
permit.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each ap-
31iance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poison-
ing or death.
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each ap-
31iance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poison-
ing or death.
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and hori-
zontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1 Nat-
ural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these in-
structions. Determine that there is no blockage or re-
striction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies,
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and win-
dows and all doors between the space in which the ap-
pliance(s) connected to the venting system are loc-
ated and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connec-
ted to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans,
such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they
are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat
so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances
at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main
burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance con-
nected to the venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, ex-
haust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired
burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
