Operating instructions

NOTE: Do not count elbows or pipe sections in terminations or
within furnace. See shaded areas in Fig. 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40.
EXAMPLE: An 036080 size furnace located in Indianapo-
lis, elevation 650 ft above sea level, could be installed in an
application requiring 3 elbows and 32 ft of vent pipe, along
with 5 elbows and 34 ft of combustion-air pipe. Table 7
indicates this application would allow a 2-in. diameter vent
pipe, but require a 2-1/2 in. diameter combustion air pipe
(2-in. pipe is good for 35 ft with 3 elbows, but only 30 ft
with 5 elbows). Therefore, 2-1/2 in. diameter pipe must be
used for both vent and combustion-air pipes since larger
required diameter must always be used for both pipes. If
same installation were in Albuquerque, elevation 5250 ft
above sea level, installation would require 2-1/2 in. vent
pipe and combustion-air pipe. At 5001- to 6000-ft eleva-
tion, 2-in. pipe is only good for 17 ft with 5 elbows, and
2-1/2 in. pipe is good for 70 ft with 5 elbows.
COMBUSTION-AIR AND VENT PIPE ATTACHMENT
NOTE: All pipe joints must be cemented except attachment of
combustion-air pipe to inlet housing connection, since it may be
necessary to remove pipe for servicing.
1. Attach combustion-air pipe as follows:
a. Determine location of combustion-air intake pipe con-
nection to combustion-air intake housing as shown in
Fig. 33 for application.
b. Reposition combustion-air intake housing plug fitting in
appropriate unused intake housing connection.
c. If required per Table 7, insert perforated disk assembly
(factory-supplied in loose parts bag) in intake housing
where combustion-air intake pipe will be connected. If
half disk set is required, install with shoulder of disk
against stop in combustion-air inlet.
d. Install pipe support (factory-supplied in loose parts bag)
into selected furnace casing combustion-air pipe hole.
Pipe support should be positioned at bottom of casing
hole.
e. Insert 2-in. diameter pipe into intake housing.
NOTE: A 2-in. diameter pipe must be used within the furnace
casing. Make all pipe diameter transitions outside furnace casing.
f. Install casing hole filler cap (factory-supplied in loose
parts bag) in unused combustion-air pipe casing hole.

NOTE: A 12 In. minimum offset pipe section is recommended with
short (5 to 8 ft) vent systems. This recommendation is to reduce
excessive condensate droplets from exiting the vent pipe.
