AND COMBUSTION AIR
This furnace must be connected to a plastic venting system
adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere.
It must be vented in accordance with these instructions and
local building codes.
The furnaces covered by this manual are design-certified
as Category IV appliances. Category IV appliances operate
with a positive vent static pressure and with a flue gas
temperature that will produce significant condensate in the
vent. The vent system for this furnace must be installed so
as to prevent leakage of flue gases into the building. This
furnace may be installed using either direct venting or non-
direct venting.

installed in an unconditioned space may require
insulation to prevent freezing of condensate.
• Furnace can be vented from either left or right side.
See Figure 2. As shipped, furnace is setup for venting
through the left side. Right side venting is
accomplished by rotating flue outlet fitting and adding a

vertically (through the roof) or horizontally (through a side
wall). Vertical (through the roof) venting is preferred
because it offers protection from pipe damage and
condensate damage. You may use concentric vent
termination except on 126,000 BTU input furnaces. Follow
the instructions supplied with the concentric-vent kit.

For vertical direct venting, combustion air inlet pipe must

terminate next to vent pipe and 12 inches above roof (18” in
Canada) or highest expected snow accumulation. Extend
vent pipe at least 6 inches above combustion air inlet. See
Figure 4a for vertical direct vent termination.

Figure 4b.
Note that some of the larger furnace models may require a
high altitude pressure switch at elevations between 3000
and 6000 feet. For example, the chart shows that the
126,000 Btu/hr model may need a high altitude pressure
switch when installed at elevations between 3000 and 4000
feet. Above 4000 feet, this model requires a high altitude
switch for all installations.
All furnace models require the high altitude pressure switch
when installed at elevations above 6000 feet.
The high-altitude pressure switch is supplied with the LP
Conversion Kit #4226000 and the Natural Gas Conversion
Kit #4225600. These kits also contain the other
components required for furnace installation at high
elevations.
NOTE: Table 2 assumes Sweep 90° elbows like that in

NON-DIRECT VENT TERMINATION
You may terminate vent pipe either vertically (through the
roof) or horizontally (through a sidewall). Vertical (through
the roof) venting is preferred because it offers protection
from pipe damage and is less likely to cause condensate
damage.
For vertical non-direct venting, extend PVC vent pipe at
least 12 inches above roof or average snow accumulation.
In Canada, vent pipe must extend at least 18 inches above
roof. See Figure 6.

Figure 8. Combustion-Air-Inlet Elbow for Non-Direct (one

pipe) Venting.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR (non-direct

vent)

The total amount of combustion and ventilation air provided

within the building must equal the requirements of all gas
appliances in the building. You must also allow for
reduction of air available for combustion and ventilation
caused by exhaust fans, range hoods and fireplaces.
Sufficient air must be provided to ensure there will not be a
negative pressure in furnace room or space. In addition,

there must be a positive seal between furnace and return-
air duct to avoid pulling air from burner area.
Note: When properly installed, vent system is designed to
drain condensate and will not be affected by rainwater. Provide for adequate combustion and ventilation air in

WARNING: Furnaces and any other fuel burning

appliances must have enough fresh air for proper
combustion. Lack of adequate combustion air could cause
the furnace to produce carbon monoxide and may result in
nausea or asphyxiation.

fluorine, bromine and iodine may result in safety and
performance related problems. The following types of

If you meet the volume requirements for unconfined space,

the building is not of unusually tight construction and there
are no airborne contaminants, as listed above, you may
install this furnace without making special provisions for

SECTION 5. CONDENSATE DRAIN

This furnace produces a slightly acidic condensate as a by-
product of combustion. This condensate must be disposed
of according to prevailing local codes, which may include
neutralizing the condensate. Please observe the following
in regards to the condensate:

• The furnace’s drain trap must be primed. This is easily

done by pouring a few cups of water into furnace vent
pipe after drain installation is complete.

• A frozen or blocked drain line will cause furnace

shutdown and no-heat complaints. Protect drain trap
and drain tubing from freezing.

• When a condensate pump is used, select a pump

designed for furnace condensate. Figure 13. Gas Line Installation.

• Construct the drain of non-ferrous material like PVC or 1. Install a 3-inch long x 1/2” NPT black-iron pipe nipple
