Inlet Air Assembly—45,000 & 67,000 Btu/h Furnaces
NOTE: The vent for this appliance shall not terminate over public
walkways, or near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas
where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or
cause property damage, or where condensate vapor could cause
damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators,
relief valves, or other equipment.
Nondirect Vent Installation—Counterflow Models
■
Refer to appropriate tables for proper pipe size, vent length
and the number of elbows allowed.
■
Refer to “Materials” in “Plan Vent System” for the proper
venting material.
■
An inlet air restrictor plate found in the plastic bag containing
these Installation Instructions and the Use and Care Guide
must be installed in all nondirect vent installations.
See “Inlet Air Restrictor Plate” in “Venting Requirements.”
Attach a 90° elbow (not supplied) to the inlet coupler and
install the inlet air restrictor plate inside the elbow.
■
The flue pipe screen, designed to keep objects out of the flue
pipe (see “Flue Pipe Screen” in “Venting Requirements”),
should be installed at the termination of the flue pipe.
