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 

appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to 

properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating 

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 requirements 

section.

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.

 WARNING

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.

2.  Inspect  the  venting  system  for  proper  size  and 

horizontal pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, 

restriction,  leakage,  corrosion,  or  other  deficiencies 

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  operate  a 

summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4.  Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance 

that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that 

the appliance operates continuously.

5.  After the burners have operated for 5 minutes, test for 

leaks  of  flue  gases  at  the  draft  hood  relief  opening. 

Use the flame of a match or candle.

6.  After  determining  that  each  appliance  connected  to 

the common venting system is venting properly, (step 

3)  return  all  doors,  windows,  exhaust  fans,  fireplace 

dampers,  and  any  other  gas  burning  appliances  to 

their previous mode of operation.

7.  If  a  venting  problem  is  found  during  any  of  the 

preceding tests, the common venting system must be 

modified to correct the problem.

Resize the common venting system to the minimum vent 

pipe  size  determined  by  using  the  appropriate  tables  in 

Appendix  G.  (These  are  in  the  current  standards  of  the 

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1.

Gas Piping

If  a  flexible  gas  connector  is  required  or  allowed  by 

the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall 

be  installed  at  the  gas  valve  and  extend  outside  the 

furnace  cabinet.  The  flexible  connector  can  then  be 

added between the black iron pipe and the gas supply 

line.

 CAUTION

Gas Supply

1.  This  unit  is  shipped  standard  for  left  or  right  side 

installation  of  gas  piping  (or  top  entry  in  horizontal 

applications).  Connect  the  gas  supply  to  the  piping 

assembly.

2.  When  connecting  the  gas  supply  piping,  consider 

factors such as length of run, number of fittings, and 

furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 

lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.

3.  The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, 

clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters, 

or elevator shafts.

4.  The  piping  should  be  sloped  1/4  inch  (6.4  mm)  per 

15  feet  (4.57  m)  upward  toward  the  meter  from  the 

furnace.  The  piping  must  be  supported  at  proper 

intervals  [every  8  to  10  feet  (2.44  to  3.01  m)]  with 

suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in vertical 

pipe runs to the unit.

5.  A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located 

on  the  gas  valve  to  facilitate  test  gauge  connection. 

See Figure 26.

6.  In some localities, codes may require the installation 

of a manual main shut off valve and union (furnished 

by the installer) external to the unit. The union must be 

of the ground joint type.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must 

be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.

 IMPORTANT

NOTE: 

If  emergency  shutoff  is  necessary,  shut  off  the 

main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the 

furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
