Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
Supply Ai Plenum
Furnaces installed without a cooling coil require the installaĆ
tion of a removable access panel in the supply air duct. The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection (eiĆ
ther by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger for
leaks after installation. The furnace access panel must al-
ways be in place when the furnace is operating and it must
not allow leaks into the supply air duct system.
Retu n Ai Plenum
ee dimension illustration on page 2 for proper return air
duct size.
NOTE - For bottom return air, return air duct should be seĆ
cured to the unit using rivets or Ćlocks. For side return air,
secure return air duct to filter rack using screws. When usĆ
ing screws, take care to avoid interference with the filter
which may cause improper filtration.
The etu n ai must not be d awn f om a oom whe e
anothe gas appliance (ie., a wate heate ) is installed.
Even though this furnace draws its combustion air from
outside of the structure, other gas appliances that share a
utility room may not. When return air is drawn from a room,
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas apĆ
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the
flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and
into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas may result in
incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon monĆ
oxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed through
the house by the furnace duct system.
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
CAUTION
Solvent cements fo plastic pipe a e flammable liqĆ
uids and should be kept away f om all sou ces of
ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent
cement when making joints. Good ventilation should
be maintained to educe fi e haza d and to minimize
b eathing of solvent vapo s. Avoid contact of ceĆ
ment with skin and eyes.
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conĆ
form with American National tandard Institute and the
American ociety for Testing and Materials (AN I/
A TM) standards. The solvent shall be free flowing and
contain no lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign
matter that adversely affects the joint strength or chemiĆ
cal resistance of the cement. The cement shall show no
gelation, stratification, or separation that cannot be reĆ
moved by stirring. Refer to the table 2 below for approved

Vent Piping Guidelines
Pipe used for exhaust and intake lines should be sized acĆ
cording to table 4. Note that maximum length of vent pipe is
for one run; either intake or exhaust. Maximum vent length
given is not the total length of intake + exhaust vents.
Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 5 feet (1.52m) of vent pipe.
Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. One
45°elbow is equal to 2.5 feet (.76m) of vent pipe.
If intake and exhaust piping runs are not equal in length and
number of elbows, the larger diameter pipe must be used
for both runs.

NOTE - When a WTKX termination kit is installed as part of
the intake and exhaust piping, the two 2 inch diameter 90°
elbows and the 27 inch pipe (in the kit) should be included
in the maximum vent pipe length for each run.
For -50 and -75 kBtuh units, connections are provided for 2
inch diameter venting which should satisfy most venting reĆ
quirements. No transition pieces are provided or needed
for 2 inch venting.
For -100 and -125 kBtuh units, the intake connection is
sized for 3 inch diameter pipe. The exhaust connection has
a 2 inch nipple. A pipe transition piece is shipped with the
unit to connect to 3 inch pipe. ee figure 7 for 2 inch and 3
inch venting applications.
Most venting applications will require 3 inch venting for
proper unit operation. Fo no eason should the intake
and exhaust pipe be diffe ent diamete pipes. RegardĆ
less of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof and wall
terminations described in section Intake and Exhaust PipĆ
ing Terminations should be used. Exhaust piping must terĆ
minate with 1-1/2 inch pipe for 1-1/2 inch or 2 inch venting
and 2 inch pipe for 3 inch venting.

Joint Cementing P ocedu e
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
specifications outlined in A TM D 2855.
WARNING
DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Fumes f om pvc glue may
ignite du ing system check. Remove spa k plug wi e
f om ignition cont ol befo e 115v powe is applied.
Reconnect wi e afte two minutes.
1 - Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length.
2 - Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges
or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe
may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a
leaking joint.
3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 - Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.
5 - Uniformly apply liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
AB cleaner for AB to inside socket surface of fitting
and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.
6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in-
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap-
plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care
to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply second
coat to end of pipe.

NOTE - Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow primĆ
er to dry before applying cement.
7 - Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe
are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into
socket until it bottoms out. Turn pipe 1/4 turn during asĆ
sembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to distribute
cement evenly.
NOTE-Assembly should be completed within 20 secĆ
onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows
should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 - After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a
bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indiĆ
cate a defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9 - Handle joints carefully until completely set.
Venting P actices
The thickness of construction through which vent/air intake
pipes may be installed is a minimum of 3 inches (610 mm),
and a maximum of 24 inches (610mm). If a G26 furnace re-
places a furnace which was commonly vented with another
gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas
appliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original
furnace flue products, the existing vent pipe is probably
oversized for the single water heater or other appliance.
The vent should be checked for proper draw with the reĆ
maining appliance.
WARNING
Insufficient combustion ai can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness o asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess wate in the heat exchange esulting in ustĆ
ing and p ematu e heat exchange failu e. Excessive
exposu e to contaminated combustion ai will esult
in safety and pe fo mance elated p oblems. Avoid
exposu e to the following substances in the comĆ
bustion ai supply:
Pe manent wave solutions

Intake Piping
1 - Cement intake piping in slip connector located at top
of unit.
2 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in exhaust and
intake piping termination section.
Exhaust Piping
1 - Cement exhaust piping into flue collar socket located
on the left side of the top cap.
2 - All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back to-
ward unit. A minimum of a 1/4 inch (6mm) drop for each
12 inches (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for
drainage. Horizontal runs of exhaust piping must be
supported every 5 feet (1.52m) using hangers.
NOTE - Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
NOTE - Exhaust piping must be insulated with 1/2 inch
(13mm) Armaflex or equivalent when run through unĆ
heated space. Do not leave any area of exhaust pipe
open to outside air; exterior exhaust must be insulated
with 1/2 inch (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent.
CAUTION
Do not discha ge exhaust into an existing stack o
stack that also se ves anothe gas appliance. If ve tiĆ
cal discha ge th ough an existing unused stack is eĆ
qui ed, inse t PVC pipe inside the stack until the end
is even with the top o outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe ope ates unde positive p esĆ
su e and must be completely sealed to p event leakĆ
age of combustion p oducts into the living space.
Removal of Unit f om Common Venting System
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas apĆ
pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to propĆ
erly vent the remaining attached appliances. The following
test should be conducted while all appliances (both in opĆ
eration and those not in operation) are connected to the
common venting system. If the venting system has been
installed improperly, corrections must be made as outlined
in the previous section.
1 - eal any unused openings in the common venting sysĆ
tem.
2 - Visually inspect the venting system from proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no block-
age or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other defiĆ
ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors beĆ
tween the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are located
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryĆ
ers and any appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will opĆ
erate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 - Follow the lighting instruction. Place the appliance beĆ
ing inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so apĆ
pliance will operate continuously.
5 - Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5
minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, or a cigar.
6 - After you have determined that each appliance reĆ
maining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gas-burning appliance to their previous conĆ
dition of use.
7 - If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the common venting system must be corĆ
rected. The common venting system should be re-
sized to approach the minimum size as determined by
using the appropriate tables in appendix G in the cur-
rent standards of the National Fuel Gas Code AN I
Z223-1 in the U. .A., and the appropriate Category 1
Natural Gas and Propane appliances venting sizing
tables in the current standards of the CAN/
CGA-B149.1 and .2 in the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code in Canada.
Intake and Exhaust Piping Te minations
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally
through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at-
tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the
roof is preferred. Figures 8 through 20 show typical terĆ
minations.
1 - Use recommended piping materials for both intake
and exhaust piping.
2 - ecure all joints, including drain leg, gas tight using
approved cement.
3 - Piping diameters should be determined according to
length of pipe run. ee table 4. Locate intake piping
upwind (prevailing wind) from exhaust piping. To avoid
re-circulation of exhaust gas on roof terminations, end
of exhaust pipe must be higher than intake pipe.
Exhaust and intake exits must be in same pressure
zone. Do not exit one through the roof and one on the
side. Also, do not exit the intake on one side and the
exhaust on another side of the house or structure.
4 - Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to ilĆ
lustrations). Maximum separation is 3 inches (76mm)
on roof terminations and 6 inches (152mm) on side
wall terminations.
5 - Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. In rooftop applications, a 2 inch X 1-1/2 inch reĆ
ducer for 2 inch venting, 3 inch x 2 inch reducer for 3
inch venting must be used on the exhaust piping at the
point where it exits the structure to improve the velocity
of exhaust away from the intake piping.
On roof terminations, the intake piping should termiĆ
nate straight down using two 90° elbows ( ee figure 8).
IMPORTANT
Do not use sc eens o pe fo ated metal in intake and
exhaust te minations. Doing so will cause f eeze-
ups and may block the te minations.
NOTE - If winter design temperature is below 32°F (0°C),
exhaust piping must be insulated with 1/2 inch (13mm),
Armaflex or equivalent when run through unheated
space. Do not leave any surface area of exhaust pipe
open to out-side air; exterior exhaust pipe must be insuĆ
lated with 1/2 inch (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent. In exĆ
treme cold climate areas, 3/4 inch (19mm) Armaflex or
equivalent is recommended. Insulation on outside runs of
exhaust pipe must be painted or wrapped to protect inĆ
sulation from deterioration.
