WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
-
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

WARNING
Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace
location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in Section V,
CombustionandVentilationAir Requirements.
• Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the
proposed or existing air distribution system.
• Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the
furnaceisbetween55°Fand100°Fwhenthefurnace
is heating.
• Provisions must be made for venting combustion
products outdoors through a proper venting system.
The length of flue pipe could be a limiting factor in
locatingthefurnace.
• Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the
furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can
exposebuildingoccupantstogascombustionproducts
that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to
CombustionandVentilationAirRequirementssection.
• The furnace must be level. If the furnace is to be set
onafloor that may become wetordamp at times, the
furnace should be supported above the floor on a
concretebasesizedapproximately 1-1/2" larger than
thebaseof the furnace.
• Ensureupfloworhorizontalfurnacesarenotinstalled
directly on carpeting, or any other combustible
material. The only combustible material allowed is
wood.

• If the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
position the furnace so that the burners and ignition
source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm)
above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical
damagebyvehicles.
• If the furnace is installed horizontally, the furnace
access doors must be vertical so that the burners fire
horizontally into the heat exchanger. Do not install
theunitwiththeaccessdoorson the“up/top”or“down/
bottom”sideof the furnace.
• Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that
serves a separate appliance designed to burn solid
fuel.
• For counterflow installations, the air conditioning coil
must be downstream from the heat exchanger of the
furnace.
• Counterflow installation over a noncombustible floor.

Next, use a flashlight and small mirror to sight up the liner. B
vent must be supported so as to not come into direct contact
withthechimneywallsor tile liner. If it is not, itcanprobablybe
rehung so as to be acceptable. A thimble or fire stop may be
helpfulhere.
Flexiblelinersshould be hung straight ornearlystraight. If it is
spiraled in the chimney and in good condition, it should be
rehung. To do this, break the top seal; pull up and cut off the
excess liner length, and refit the top seal. Use caution when
doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp.
The surfaces of the liner must be physically sound. If gaps or
holes are present, the metal liner must be removed and re-
placed (Fix 4). Finally, confirm that the metal liner is the cor-
rect size for the appliances to be installed. Use the GAMA
tablesand rules.
If a metal liner is not present, a clay tile liner must be present,
or the chimney must be lined (Fix 4).
Use a flashlight and small mirror at the cleanout or vent con-
nector to inspect the clay tile liner. If any of the following prob-
lemsare present:
• Tilesectionsmisaligned
• Tile sections missing
• Gaps between tile sections
• Signsofcondensate drainage at the cleanoutor vent
connectors
• Mortarprotrudingfrombetweentilesections
• Use of sewer pipe or drainage pipe rather than an
approved fire clay tile reline the chimney (Fix 4).
Next, measure the size of the liner. It may be possible to do
this from the cleanout. The liner must be at least as large as
the minimum size established by the tables in National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the
NationalStandardof Canada,CAN/CSAB149.1and CAN/CSA
B149.2 - latest editions and amendments. If the liner is too
small or too large, then the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
CHECK 6-DILUTION AIR.
If gas-fired appliances are to be vented into a clay tile liner, a
sourceof dilution air is required.
Dilutionaircannotbeobtainedthrough:
• Induceddraftappliances
• Naturaldraftapplianceswithventdampers
Sufficientdilutionaircanordinarilybeobtainedthroughthe draft
hood of a natural draft appliance only if the appliance’s vent
connectordoesnotinclude aventdamper. Ifdilutionairwillnot
be available, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
CHECK7-COMPLETETHE INSTALLATION.
IfChecks1 through 6havebeensatisfactory,andthelinerisan
acceptable size as determined by the tables in National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the
Liquidfuelappliancesincludeoilfurnaces,oil-firedboilersand
oil-firedwaterheaters.
Applianceswhich burn propane (sometimes referredto as LP
(liquefiedpetroleum))gas areconsideredgas-firedappliances.
CHECK3-CHIMNEYCROWN CONDITION.
Damagefromcondensate usually shows up firstin the crown.
Ifanyofthe following troublesignsarepresent,thecondition of
the crown is not satisfactory:
a) Crownleaning
b) Bricks missing
c) Mortarmissing
d) Tilelinercracked
e) No tile liner
f) Salt staining at mortar joints. (White stains, and mortar
becomessandyand/orerodes.)
For problems a, b, or c, see Fix 3. If problems d, e, or f are
present,seeFix4.IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to follow
both Fix 3 and Fix 4.
CHECK 4-DEBRIS INCLEANOUT.
Acleanout(dropleg)mustbe present such thattheupperedge
ofthecleanoutcover is atleast12inchesbelowthe lower edge
of the lowest chimney inlet opening.
A chimney without a cleanout could become partially blocked
by debris. If no cleanout is present, the chimney must be re-
lined (Fix 4). Remove the cleanout cover, and examine the
cleanoutfordebris. Ifsignificantamountsofany ofthefollowing
arefound:
• Fueloilresidue
• Bricks
• Mortarorsand
• Pieces of the tile liner
• Rustedpiecesofthe metallic liner -relinethechimney
(Fix 4).
CHECK5-LINERCONDITION.
If a metal liner is present, it must be checked. It cannot be
assumed that all existing metal liners are correctly installed
andingood condition.
Remove the lowest existing vent connector, and examine the
insideoftheelbowortee atthebaseoftheliner.Asmallamount
of soot may be considered acceptable, provided the installer
vacuums it away. If rusted pieces of the liner have collected
here,the metal liner must beremoved and replaced (Fix 4).
Next, gently tap the inside of the liner with a Phillips screw-
driver. If the screwdriver perforates the liner, or if the tapping
does not sound like metal hitting metal, the liner must be re-
movedandreplaced(Fix4).
Rememberthatall appliances must be vented insidetheliner.
Venting one appliance inside the liner and another appliance
outside the liner is not acceptable.

FIX3-REBUILDTHE CROWN
If the chimney crown is damaged, a qualified mason must re-
pairitinaccordancewithnationally recognized building codes
or standards. One such standard which may be referenced is
the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel
BurningAppliances,ANSI/NFPA211.
FIX 4-RELINING
Reliningoptionsinclude B vent and flexible liners.
Ifthechimneyhasdiagonaloffsets,Bventprobablycannotbe
used.
If B vent is to be used, it must be supported adequately. Sup-
ports (such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to prevent
the B vent from coming into direct contact with the tile liner or
chimneywalls. Direct contact wouldresult in higher heatloss,
with an increased possibility of poor venting system perfor-
mance.
ItisnotacceptabletoventoneapplianceinsidetheBventand
other appliances outside. The excess space between the B
vent and the chimney walls must be covered at the top of the
chimneybyaweatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.
The B vent should then be topped with a listed vent cap. The
listed vent cap will, when installed per the manufacturer’s in-
structions,preventproblemsduetorain,birds,orwindeffects.
AB-ventinstalled as described in thissectionis considered to
be an enclosed vent system, and the sizing tables in National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in
theNationalStandardof Canada, CAN/CSAB149.1 and CAN/
CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments may be used.
If a flexible liner is to be used, it must be made of the proper
materials:
• For most residential applications, an aluminum liner
shouldbeacceptable.
• If the combustion air supplied to the furnace will be
contaminatedwithcompoundscontaining chlorine or
fluorine, a liner ofAL29-4C stainless steel should be
used. Common sources of chlorine and fluorine
compounds include indoor swimming pools and
chlorinebleaches, paint strippers, adhesives, paints,
varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried)
andsolventsusedduringconstructionandremodeling.
Variouscommercialand industrialprocessesmayalso

NationalStandardof Canada,CAN/CSAB149.1and CAN/CSA
B149.2 - latest editions and amendments, then the clay tile
liner can probably be used as a vent for the gas appliances.
However, the installer must keep in mind the following factors
which may render the tile liner unsuitable for use as a vent:
• Extremelycoldweather
• Longventconnectors
• Masonry chimneys with no air gap between the liner
and the bricks. (In practice, this can be difficult to
detect.)
• Exterior chimneys (The tables in National Fuel Gas
CodeNFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB149.1 and
CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments
assumeinteriorchimneys.)
If, in the judgment of the local gas utility, installer, and/or local
codes; one or more of the above factors is likely to present a
problem, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
FIX1-LINER TERMINATION
Any cap or roof assembly used with a liner must be approved
by the liner manufacturer for such use. The liner and cap/roof
assembly must then terminate above the roof in accordance
withthemanufacturer’s instructions.
In some cases, a shorter extension above the roof may be
possible with a liner than would be required with a masonry
chimney.
Forfurtherinformation on relining, see Fix4.

If oil-fired appliance(s) are being replaced by gas-fired
appliance(s), the tile liner must first be cleaned to remove the
fueloilresidue.
Ifnoneoftheaboveoptions is practical, the furnace may need
to be vented vertically with a B Vent.

For sizing of flexible liners, see Note 22 and the tables in the
NationalFuelGasCodeNFPA54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition
andinthe National StandardofCanada,CAN/CSAB149.1and
CAN/CSAB149.2 - latest editions andamendments.
To install the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer’s in-
structionsandyour local codes. Excess liner lengthshouldbe
pulledout of thechimney and cut off. Use caution whendoing
this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp. Do not
spiral excess liner inside of the chimney. Support the liner as
recommendedbythelinermanufacturer.
Somemanufacturersofflexible liners offeraninsulationsleeve
designed to be added to the liner before it is installed in the
chimney.(Pouredinsulation,eithervermiculite or other materi-
als,isnolongerrecommended.)Insulationwillneedtobeadded
to the flexible liner if:
• It is required by the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
• The previous liner was properly sized and installed,
andsufferedfromcondensation damage.
• It is required by your local building codes.
Evenifnoneofthose three conditions exist which requireaddi-
tional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:
• The local climate is very cold.
• The chimney is very tall.
• Theventconnectorsusedareverylongorhavealarge
numberofelbows.
• Localexperienceindicatesthatflexible liners installed
without insulation are likely to have condensation
problems.
Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with
thelinermanufacturer’sinstructions.
Finally, capthechimneyandterminate the liner in accordance
withtheliner manufacturer’s instructions.

inganddehumidistat call for dehumidification. This can be
done through an independent dehumidistat or through a
thermostat’sDEHUMterminal(ifavailable).Thislowerblower
speedenhances dehumidification of the conditionedair as
it passes through theAC coil. For proper function, a dehu-
midistat applied to this furnace must operate on 24 VAC
and utilize a switch which opens on humidity rise. Refer to
