A.  VENTING: 
 
NOTE:

 On the OH5-85DXE*** it is possible to rotate the flue elbow (which is factory installed for vertical 

discharge) 90° counterclockwise from the vertical position to adapt to various venting systems. 
 
 

c

CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO EXCEED 90°

ROTATION (OF THE FLUE 

ELBOW) COUNTERCLOCKWISE OR RIGHT FROM THE VERTICAL POSITION.

 
 
ROTATION OF FRONT FLUE ELBOW 

 
When an installation requires that the flue exit out the left hand side casing on a front flue unit, remove screw 
securing the 90 deg. elbow and rotate it 90° 

counterclockwise.

 Then, by following the dimensions listed below, 

locate the center point for the exit of the flue.  Once the center has been located, use a scribe to mark the hole size.  
Cut hole and extend flue through side casing. 
 
A trim collar may be ordered from Thermo Products to hide the gap around the flue pipe. This trim collar, however, 
is not required for operation. Trim collar/gasket part numbers(s) 14121 / 330073.

APPLICATIONS. 
 

The OH5-85DXE*** may be vented through a standard correctly sized chimney. 
 

B. DRAFT REGULATORS: 

 
A draft regulator is supplied with the furnace and  should be installed according to the regulator manufacturers 
recommendations. With the burner operating, use a draft gauge to adjust the regulator to the proper setting. (refer to 
the instructions enclosed with draft regulator to adjust to the proper setting). When the burner air supply and draft 
are properly adjusted, the overfire draft should be a negative (-).01" to (-).02" WC

  1

, as measured at the 5/16" 

overfire air tap (See Fig. 8). This tap is provided in the upper burner mounting plate. To measure the flue draft, 
punch a small hole in the vent connector pipe as close to the furnace as possible and always before the draft 
regulator.
