Vent Piping Guidelines
NOTE:
Allied Air has approved the use of DuraVent
®
and
Centrotherm manufactured vent pipe and terminations as
an option to PVC. When using the PolyPro
®
by DuraVent
or InnoFlue
®
by Centrotherm venting system the vent
pipe requirements stated in the unit installation instruction
– minimum & maximum vent lengths, termination
clearances, etc. – apply and must be followed. Follow
the instructions provided with PoyPro by DuraVent and
InnoFlue by Centrotherm venting system for assembly
or if requirements are more restrictive. The PolyPro by
Duravent and InnoFlue by Centrotherm venting system
must also follow the uninsulated and unconditioned space
The A96US2V can be installed as either a Non-Direct
Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE:
In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air
is taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace
and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent
installations, combustion air is taken from outdoors and
flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing --
Size pipe according
to Table 18 and Table 19A through Table 19C. Count all
elbows inside and outside the home. Table 18 lists the
minimum vent pipe lengths permitted. Table 19A through
Table 19C lists the maximum pipe lengths permitted.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping
Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to Table 21.
In some applications which permit the use of several
different sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may
be used. Contact Allied Air Technical Services department
for assistance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
NOTE:
The exhaust collar on all models is sized to
accommodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. In horizontal
applications, any transition to exhaust pipe larger than 2”
must be made in vertical runs of the pipe. Therefore a 2”
elbow must be added before the pipe is transitioned to
any size larger than 2”. This elbow must be added to the
elbow count used to determine acceptable vent lengths.
Contact the Application Department for more information
concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple
pipe sizes.
If this unit is being installed in an application with
combustion air coming in from a space serviced by an
exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device which
may create a negative pressure in the space, take care
when sizing the inlet air opening. The inlet air opening
must be sized to accommodate the maximum volume
of exhausted air as well as the maximum volume of
combustion air required for all gas appliances serviced
by this space.
