GIVEN IN THIS SECTION
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion
and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water
condensation requirements, PVC pipe is used as venting material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue
approved vent and combustion air materials for installations in the U.S.A. and Canada. Manufacturers Installation instruc-
tions for these products must be followed. These products have specific instructions for installing, joining and terminating.
Do not mix materials or components of one manufacturer with materials or components of another manufacturer.
All furnaces are built with 2" vent / intake pipe and connectors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe, the transition
from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the furnace as practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory
built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this
appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance. Do not use commercially available "no hub
connectors" other than those shipped with this product.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers' recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and
connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and
connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace
operation.

UAL ERTIFICATION ON
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-direct
vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air
intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and
terminations.

ATERIALS AND OINING
Two-three-inch nominal diameter PVC Schedule 40 pipe meet-
ing ASTM D1785, PVC primer meeting ASTM F656, and PVC
solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be
used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665
and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing of PVC.
The use of Schedule 40 PVC cellular core DWV meeting ASTM
F891-1 or ABS cellular core (Foam Core) plastic pipe is also acceptable as a flue/vent and intake pipe material. PVC primer
meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type
fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the manufactures instructions for cutting, cleaning and
solvent cementing of PVC.
For Canadian installations; all PVC pipe, fittings and joining materials must be UL S636 listed.
As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement, and fittings, ABS materials which are in compliance with the following
specifications may be used. Two-or-three-inch ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA
listed. Solvent cement for ABS to ABS joints must meet ASTM D2235 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. The solvent cement
for the PVC to ABS transition joint must meet ASTM D3138. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2661 and ASTM
D3311 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. Carefully follow the manufacturers' instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent
cementing PVC and/or ABS.
