II-PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri
-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan
-
dards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that
adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance
of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, strati
-
fication, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring.
Refer to the table 14 below for approved piping and fitting
materials.

CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable
liquids and should be kept away from all sources of
ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent
cement when making joints. Good ventilation
should be maintained to reduce fire hazard and to
minimize breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact
of cement with skin and eyes.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent ce
-
ment meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 14.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean
inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to
depth of fitting socket.
Canadian Applications Only -
Pipe, fittings, primer and
solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this appliance must
be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manu
-
facturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. In
addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace
flue collar must be accessible for inspection.
