Installation Guidelines for Combustion Air Pipe and
Vent Pipe
It is recommended that all pipes be cut, prepared, and preassembled
before permanently cementing any joint.
1. Attach combustion air pipe and vent pipe per instructions in
sections “Combustion Air Pipe” and “Vent Pipe.”
2. Working from furnace to outside, cut pipe to required
length(s).
3. Deburr inside and outside of pipe.
4. Chamfer outside edge of pipe for better distribution of
primer and cement.
5. Clean and dry all surfaces to be joined.
6. Check dry fit of pipe and mark insertion depth on pipe.
7. After pipes have been cut and preassembled, apply generous
layer of cement primer to pipe fitting socket and end of pipe
to insertion mark. Quickly apply approved cement to end of
pipe and fitting socket (over primer). Apply cement in a
light, uniform coat on inside of socket to prevent buildup of
excess cement. Apply second coat.
8. While cement is still wet, twist pipe into socket with 1/4
turn. Be sure pipe is fully inserted into fitting socket.
9. Wipe excess cement from joint. A continuous bead of
cement will be visible around perimeter of a properly made
joint.
10. Handle pipe joints carefully until cement sets.
11. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be
supported to prevent sagging. Support combustion air
piping and vent piping a minimum of every 5 ft. (1.5M)(3
ft. (.91M) for SDR--21 or --26 PVC) using perforated metal
hanging strap.
12. Slope combustion air piping and vent piping downward
towards furnace a minimum of 1/4--in. per linear ft. with no
sags between hangers.
13. Horizontal portions of the venting system shall be installed
so as to prevent the accumulation of condensate.
14. Use appropriate methods to seal openings where
combustion air pipe and vent pipe pass through roof or
sidewall.
Combustion--Air and Vent Pipe Diameter
Determine combustion--air and vent pipe diameter.
1. Using Table 7, individually determine the diameter of the
combustion--air and vent pipe allowed. If different, pick the
larger of these two diameters and use this diameter for both
combustion--air and vent pipes.
2. When installing vent systems of short pipe length, use the
smallest allowable pipe diameter. Do not use pipe size
greater than required or incomplete combustion, flame
disturbance, or flame sense lockout may occur.
NOTE: Do not count elbows or pipe sections in terminations or
within furnace.
NOTE: A 2--in. diameter pipe must be used within furnace casing.
Make all pipe diameter transitions outside furnace casing.
