1. Assemble combustion-air inlet pipe.

a. Permanently install perforated disk assembly (factory-

supplied in loose parts bag) in combustion-air elbow
using RTV or by cementing. (See Fig. 29.)

For 120,000 Btuh size units only: Separate the 2 halves
of perforated disk assembly and use only the shouldered
disk half.

b. Determine length of straight portion of combustion-air

inlet pipe from table in Fig. 29.

c. Cut field-supplied 2-in diameter PVC pipe to determined

length.

d. Permanently attach elbow/perforated disk assembly to

straight portion of pipe using RTV or by cementing. (See
Fig. 29.)

2. Attach combustion-air inlet pipe.

a. Determine location of combustion-air intake pipe con-

nection to combustion-air intake housing as shown in
Fig. 28 for application.

b. Reposition combustion-air intake housing plug fitting in

appropriate unused intake housing connection.

c. 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.

d. Insert assembled combustion-air inlet pipe into intake

housing.

e. Make sure elbow is oriented in an acceptable direction

and that the minimum clearance of 3 in. is observed. (See
Fig. 28.)

f. Drill a 1/8-in. hole in 2-in. combustion-air inlet pipe

using hole in intake housing as a guide.

g. Install a field-supplied No. 6 or No. 8 sheet metal screw

into combustion-air pipe.

NOTE:

Do not attach combustion-air intake pipe permanently to

combustion-air intake housing since it may be necessary to remove
pipe for service of ignitor or flame sensor.

COMBUSTION-AIR INTAKE HOUSING PLUG
FITTING

The combustion-air intake plug fitting must be installed in
unused combustion-air intake housing. This fitting must be
attached by using RTV sealant, or by drilling a 1/8-in. hole
in fitting, using hole in intake housing as a guide. Install a
field-supplied No. 6 or No. 8 sheet metal screw.

NOTE:

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREW. Breakage to intake

housing or fitting may cause air leakage to occur.

A plugged drain connection has been provided on this
fitting for use when moisture is found in combustion-air
intake pipe and combustion box. If use of this drain
connection is desired, drill out fitting’s tap plug with a
3/16-in. drill and connect a field-supplied 3/8-in. tube. This
tube should be routed to open condensate drain for furnace
and A/C (if used), and should be trapped. (See Fig. 30.)

C.

Vent Pipe

NOTE:

Furnace vent pipe connections are sized for 2-in. pipe.

Any vent pipe size change should be made outside furnace casing
in vertical pipe. (See Fig. 31.) This allows proper drainage of vent
condensate.

Determine vent pipe diameter and maximum pipe lengths using
Table 4.

Furnace vent pipe connection must be attached as shown in Fig.
28. Inducer housing alternate vent cap may need to be relocated in
some applications.

NOTE:

Starting at furnace, slope vent pipe a minimum of 1/4 in.

per linear ft upward to termination(s) with no sags between
hangers.
