Another important consideration when selecting one or
twoī€€pipeī€€installationī€€isī€€theī€€qualityī€€ofī€€theī€€indoorī€€airī€€whichī€€
can sometimes be contaminated with various household
chemicals . These chemicals can cause severe corrosion
inī€€theī€€furnaceī€€combustionī€€system.ī€€Aī€€2-pipeī€€installationī€€
has the additional advantage that it isolates the system
from the effects of negative pressure in the house.

conī¬nedī€€spacesī€€mustī€€haveī€€2ī€€openingsī€€inī€€theī€€spaceī€€forī€€
combustion air. One opening must be within 12 inches of
the ceiling, and the other must be within 12 inches of the
ļ¬‚oor. However, an alternative method recently adopted by
theī€€NFGCī€€usesī€€oneī€€openingī€€withinī€€12ī€€inchesī€€ofī€€theī€€topī€€
of the space. This method may be used if it is acceptable
to the local codes.
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET:
1.ī€€ Theī€€openingī€€ mustī€€startī€€withinī€€12ā€ī€€ ofī€€theī€€topī€€ofī€€theī€€
structure and connect with the out of doors through
vertical or horizontal ducts or be ducted to a crawl or
attic space that connects with the out of doors.
2. The opening must have a minimum free area of 1 in2.
per 3,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all
equipmentī€€locatedī€€inī€€theī€€enclosure.
3. The free area must not be less than the sum of all the
areas of the vent connectors in the enclosure.

Ventī€€Pipeī€€Installation
CAUTION:
Combustionī€€ airī€€ mustī€€ notī€€ beī€€ drawnī€€ fromī€€ aī€€
corrosiveī€€atmosphere.
Thisī€€furnaceī€€hasī€€beenī€€certiī¬edī€€forī€€installationī€€withī€€zeroī€€
clearance between vent piping and combustible surfaces.
However, it is good practice to allow space for convenience
in installation and service.
ā€¢ī€€Theī€€qualityī€€ofī€€outdoorī€€airī€€mustī€€beī€€considered.ī€€Makeī€€sureī€€
the combustion air intake is not located near a source
of solvent fumes or other chemicals which can cause
corrosionī€€ofī€€theī€€furnaceī€€combustionī€€system.ī€€(Seeī€€listī€€
of substances on page 5).
ā€¢ī€€Routeī€€pipingī€€asī€€directī€€asī€€possibleī€€betweenī€€theī€€furnaceī€€
and the outdoors. Horizontal piping from inducer to
theī€€ ī­ueī€€ pipeī€€ mustī€€ beī€€ slopedī€€ 1/4ā€ī€€ perī€€ footī€€ toī€€ ensureī€€

for additional information.
ā€¢ī€€Ifī€€aī€€Directī€€Ventī€€(2-pipe)ī€€systemī€€isī€€used,ī€€theī€€combustionī€€
airī€€intakeī€€andī€€theī€€ventī€€exhaustī€€mustī€€beī€€locatedī€€inī€€theī€€
same atmospheric pressure zone. This means both
pipesī€€mustī€€exitī€€theī€€buildingī€€throughī€€theī€€sameī€€portionī€€
ofī€€exteriorī€€wallī€€orī€€roofī€€asī€€shownī€€inī€€Figureī€€7, Figureī€€8,ī€€
(pageī€€ 12), Figureī€€ 9,ī€€ (pageī€€ 13),ī€€ &ī€€ Figureī€€ 10,ī€€ (pageī€€
13).
ā€¢ī€€Pipingī€€mustī€€beī€€mechanicallyī€€supportedī€€soī€€thatī€€itsī€€weightī€€
does not bear on the furnace. Pipe supports must be
installed a minimum of every 5 feet along the vent run to
ensureī€€noī€€displacementī€€afterī€€installation.ī€€Supportsī€€mayī€€
be at shorter intervals if necessary to ensure that there
areī€€noī€€saggingī€€sectionsī€€thatī€€canī€€trapī€€condensate.ī€€Itī€€isī€€
recommended to install couplings along the vent pipe,
onī€€eitherī€€sideī€€ofī€€theī€€exteriorī€€wallī€€asī€€shownī€€inī€€Figureī€€
28,ī€€ (pageī€€ 38).ī€€Theseī€€ couplingsī€€ mayī€€ beī€€ requiredī€€ byī€€
local code.
ā€¢ī€€Ifī€€breakableī€€connectionsī€€areī€€requiredī€€inī€€theī€€combustionī€€
airī€€inletī€€pipeī€€(ifī€€present)ī€€andī€€exhaustī€€ventī€€piping,ī€€thenī€€
straightī€€ neopreneī€€ couplingsī€€ forī€€ 2ā€ī€€ orī€€ 3ā€ī€€ pipingī€€ withī€€
hose clamps can be used. These couplings can be
ordered through your local furnace distributor. To install
a coupling:
1.ī€€ Slideī€€theī€€rubberī€€couplingī€€overī€€theī€€endī€€ofī€€theī€€pipeī€€thatī€€
is attached to the furnace and secure it with one of
the hose clamps.
2.ī€€ Slideī€€theī€€otherī€€endī€€ofī€€theī€€rubberī€€couplingī€€ontoī€€theī€€
other pipe from the vent.
3.ī€€ Secureī€€ theī€€ couplingī€€ withī€€ theī€€ secondī€€ hoseī€€ clamp,ī€€
ensuring that the connection is tight and leak free.

ā€¢ī€€Whenī€€ aī€€ coolingī€€ systemī€€ isī€€ installedī€€ whichī€€ usesī€€ theī€€
furnace blower to provide airļ¬‚ow over the indoor coil,
theī€€ coilī€€ mustī€€ beī€€ installedī€€ downstreamī€€ (onī€€ theī€€ outletī€€
side) of the furnace or in parallel with the furnace.
ā€¢ī€€Ifī€€ aī€€ coolingī€€ systemī€€ isī€€ installedī€€ inī€€ parallelī€€ withī€€ theī€€
furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace and condensing on the heat
exchanger.ī€€Ifī€€aī€€manuallyī€€operatedī€€damperī€€isī€€installed,ī€€
it must be designed so that operation of the furnace is
prevented when the damper is in the cooling position
and operation of the cooling system is prevented when
the damper is in the heating position.
ā€¢ī€€Itī€€ isī€€ goodī€€ practiceī€€ toī€€ sealī€€ allī€€ connectionsī€€ andī€€ jointsī€€
withī€€ industrialī€€ gradeī€€ sealingī€€ tapeī€€ orī€€ liquidī€€ sealant.ī€€
Requirementsī€€ forī€€ sealingī€€ ductworkī€€ varyī€€ fromī€€ regionī€€

Condensateī€€Drainī€€Lines
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ifī€€theī€€furnaceī€€isī€€installedī€€inī€€anī€€areaī€€whereī€€temperaturesī€€
fallī€€belowī€€freezing,ī€€specialī€€precautionsī€€mustī€€beī€€madeī€€
forī€€insulatingī€€condensateī€€drainī€€linesī€€thatī€€drainī€€toī€€theī€€
outdoors.ī€€Ifī€€condensateī€€freezesī€€inī€€theī€€lines,ī€€thisī€€willī€€
causeī€€improperī€€operationī€€orī€€damageī€€toī€€theī€€furnace.ī€€Itī€€
isī€€recommendedī€€thatī€€allī€€drainī€€linesī€€onī€€theī€€outsideī€€ofī€€
theī€€residenceī€€beī€€wrappedī€€withī€€anī€€industryī€€approvedī€€
insulationī€€orī€€materialī€€allowedī€€byī€€localī€€code.
The placement of the condensate drain lines will depend
onī€€theī€€conī¬gurationī€€selectedī€€inī€€Tableī€€3,ī€€(pageī€€17). The
drain lines can be routed out the left or right side of the
furnace, but must maintain a downward slope to ensure
proper condensate drainage.
Theī€€J-trapī€€mayī€€needī€€toī€€beī€€rotatedī€€toī€€theī€€sideī€€thatī€€matchesī€€
your setup in Figureī€€26,ī€€ (pageī€€ 36)ī€€ &ī€€ Figureī€€27,ī€€(pageī€€
37).ī€€ Toī€€ rotateī€€ theī€€ J-trap,ī€€ loosenī€€ theī€€ clampī€€ onī€€ theī€€
drainī€€tube,ī€€rotateī€€theī€€J-trapī€€toī€€eitherī€€side,ī€€andī€€retightenī€€
the clamp.
THREE GENERAL PRINCIPLES APPLY:
ā€¢ī€€Eachī€€condensateī€€drainī€€lineī€€mustī€€beī€€separatelyī€€trappedī€€
usingī€€aī€€J-Trapī€€orī€€ī¬eldī€€suppliedī€€loop.ī€€Afterī€€individuallyī€€
trapping the condensate lines, it is acceptable to
combine the drains.
ā€¢ī€€Thereī€€mustī€€alwaysī€€beī€€aī€€drainī€€attachedī€€toī€€theī€€collectorī€€
atī€€theī€€outletī€€ofī€€theī€€secondaryī€€heatī€€exchanger.
ā€¢ī€€Thereī€€mustī€€alwaysī€€beī€€aī€€drainī€€atī€€theī€€lowestī€€pointī€€ofī€€theī€€
venting system. NOTE:ī€€Ifī€€usingī€€aī€€condensateī€€pump,ī€€theī€€
furnace drain line must be installed above the pumps
water line.
EXCEPTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS TO THE
GENERAL RULES:
ā€¢ī€€Inī€€someī€€cases,ī€€theī€€lowestī€€pointī€€inī€€theī€€ventī€€systemī€€isī€€
whereī€€itī€€connectsī€€toī€€theī€€inducerī€€(Optionsī€€2ī€€&ī€€4).ī€€Inī€€thisī€€
caseī€€oneī€€drainī€€atī€€thisī€€locationī€€isī€€sufī¬cient.
ā€¢ī€€Ifī€€theī€€ventī€€exitsī€€theī€€furnaceī€€horizontally,ī€€theī€€ventī€€mayī€€
be turned vertically with a tee. The drip leg formed by
theī€€teeī€€mustī€€includeī€€aī€€drainī€€(Optionsī€€1,ī€€2,ī€€3,ī€€&ī€€4).
ā€¢ī€€Inī€€certainī€€cases,ī€€itī€€isī€€permittedī€€toī€€drainī€€theī€€inducerī€€backī€€
intoī€€theī€€topī€€drainī€€ofī€€theī€€collectorī€€(Optionsī€€1,ī€€3,ī€€5,ī€€&ī€€7).ī€€
More importantly, make sure this drain does not sag or
become twisted in the middle. The drain tube supplied
with the furnace may need to be trimmed.
