18. Slope the vent and combustion air piping downward towards
furnace. A minimum slope of at least 1/4-in. (6 mm) per linear
ft.(1-in (25 mm) per 4 ft.(1.2 M)) with no sags between hangers is
required. See Caution Box below.
19. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where combustion air
pipe and vent pipe pass through roof or sidewall.

Optional Installation of the Vent Pipe
NOTE:
DO
NOT USE THIS TECHNIQUE
FOR
POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS.
This option provides a disconnect point for the vent pipe. The vent pipe
must be cemented to the plastic vent pipe adapter to maintain a sealed
vestibule. See
A13076
Fig. 60 – Optional Vent Pipe Flush with Adapter
1. Insert a length of vent pipe through the casing into the outlet of the
vent elbow.
2. Slide the plastic vent pipe adapter over the length of the vent pipe
down to the furnace casing. Mark the pipe where it is flush with the
outlet of the adapter.
3. Remove the pipe from the furnace and the adapter and cut off any
excess pipe.
4. Clean and prime the end of the pipe that is flush with the vent
adapter with a primer that is appropriate for the type of pipe being
used.
5. Re-insert the pipe through the casing into the vent elbow.
6. Tighten the clamp around the outlet of the vent elbow. Torque the
clamp to 15 lb-in.
7. Apply cement to the end of the pipe and to the inside of the plastic
vent adapter.
8. Slide the adapter over the vent pipe and align the screw holes in the
adapter with the dimples in the furnace casing.
9. Pilot drill 1/8-in. screw holes for the adapter in the casing and
secure the adapter to the furnace with sheet metal screws.
10. Loosen the clamps on the rubber vent coupling.
11. Slide the end of the coupling with notches in it over the standoffs in
the vent pipe adapter.
12. Tighten the clamp of the coupling over the vent pipe adapter.
Torque the lower clamp around the vent pipe adapter to 15 lb-in.
13. Pilot drill a 1/8-in. hole in the combustion air pipe adapter.
14. Complete the vent and combustion air pipe as shown in “Install the
Vent
and Combustion Air Pipe.”
CAUTION
!
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in nuisance short cycling,
frozen vent termination, and/or no heat.
Slope the vent and combustion air piping downward towards furnace a
minimum of 1/4-in. (6 mm) per linear ft. of pipe.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
DO NOT
use cement to join polypropylene venting systems. Follow
the polypropylene venting system manufacturer’s instructions for
installing polypropylene venting systems.

NOTICE
!
FOR POLYPROPYLENE VENTING SYSTEMS
When using polypropylene venting systems, all venting materials used,
including the vent terminations, must be from the same manufacturer.
