Vent Piping Guidelines

Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or 

intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and 

may block the terminations.

NOTE: 

Comfort-Aire/Century

 

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 criteria listed in Table 12.

The 

G

DD

92C

 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  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 

10  and  Table  11A  through  Table  11B.  Count  all  elbows  in 

side and  outside  the  home.  Table  10  lists the  minimum  vent 

pipe lengths  permitted.  Table  11A  through  Table  11B  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 13.

In  some  applications  which  permit  the  use  of  several different 

sizes  of  vent  pipe,  a  combination  vent  pipe  may be used. Contact 

Comfort-Aire/Century

  Technical  Services  Department  for 

assistance  in  sizing  vent pipe in these applications.

NOTE: 

It  is  acceptable  to  use  any  pipe  size  which  fits 

within the 

guidelines allowed in Table 11A or Table 11B.

NOTE: 

All  horizontal  runs  of  exhaust  pipe  must  slope  back 

toward  unit.  A  minimum  of  1/4”  (6mm)  drop  for  each 

12” 

(305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.

NOTE: 

Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fittings.

NOTE: 

Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make 

sure there are no sags or low spots.
