WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result
in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other
appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-2002/NFPA
54-2002 or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage
or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the
venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating
continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-2002/NFPA 54-2002 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired appliance to their previous conditions of use.
Vent system or vent connectors may need to be resized. For any
other applicanes when resizing vent systems or vent connectors,
system or connector must be sized to approach minimum size
determined in appropriate table in NFGC or NSCNGPIC.
B. Combustion-Air and Vent Piping
C. General
WARNING: Solvent cements are combustible. Keep
away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Avoid breathing in vapor or allow-
ing contact with skin or eyes. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fire, property damage, personal
injury, or death.
Combustion-air and vent pipe, fittings, primers, and solvents must
conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) stan-
dards and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standards. See Table 5 for approved materials for use in the U.S.A.
See Table 6 for maximum pipe lengths and Fig. 39, 40, and 41 for
exterior piping arrangements.
In Canada, construct all combustion-air and vent pipes for this unit
of CSA or ULC listed schedule-40 PVC, PVC-DWV or ABS-
DWV pipe and pipe cement. SDR pipe is NOT approved in
Canada.
Vent pipe termination must be installed with adequate clearances
to building openings and equipment to comply with national and
local codes.
See Table 8 for required clearances.
