- If the heat anticipator is set too high, the furnace may delay activation of a heating cycle for too long. If the heat anticipator is set too low, the furnace may cycle too frequently. Either condition may not provide optimal comfort to the homeowner.

When the PVC vent and combustion air intake pipes pass through a ceiling, and
a fire stop is required. Refer to the following:
CEILING: Frame out area around where PVC pipe is to penetrate ceiling. Cut a
2-3/8” diameter hole for 2” PVC in the ceiling and a corresponding hole in a
firestop to be made of a minimum of 18 gauge galvanized metal large enough to
cover the entire framed area. Cut PVC pipe so that it extends up past the fire
stop far enough to engage a PVC coupling that will rest on the fire stop and act
as a support. Seal between the pipe coupling and fire stop with high temperature
RTV silicone sealant (see Figure 13). Continue installing PVC pipe to exhaust
vent and combustion air intake termination as described previously.

K. CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE AND TRAP ASSEMBLY
1. Figure 14 illustrates the typical drain trap connection for a VMA furnace. (Trap
will be installed at factory.) Connect condensate drain trap to building drain
system.
2. An optional condensate neutralizer kit (P/N V320095) is available when gas
furnace condensate needs to be neutralized (pH increased) prior to discharge
into drain system.
