WARNING:
Combustible air must not be drawn from a
contaminated atmosphere. Excessive exposure
to contaminated combustion air will result in
safety and performance related problems.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air
must be free of chemicals which form corrosive acidic
compounds in the combustion gases.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not store any chemicals with flammable or caustic
vapors near the vent termination. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• C arbon tetraChloride • G asoline /K erosene
• C ements , Glues , paint removers ,
varnishes , etC .
• h aloGen type refriGerants
• C leaninG solvents • h ydroChloriC aCid

Vent Termination
This unit has been developed for use with a combination
heat exchanger condensate drain and venting system
designed to operate only with this type of system.
Condensate Drain and Vent Kits are available for purchase
as accessory items.
Horizontal ground mount applications can use P/N-922323
to attach the 13.25” x 2” PVC pipe within the control area of
this unit. Rooftop mount applications can use the downflow
condensate drain / vent kit (P/N-922485).
If Nordyne kits are not being used, see Appendix on
page
43 or page 45 for your specific application.
WARNING:
This unit is intended for outdoor installation
only. This unit must be vented to the outdoors.
No additional venting shall be used. Do not vent
the unit through a conventional venting system.
The vent and drain assembly must be installed to
assure proper operation of the unit.
Figure 2 shows the
proper installation of the vent and drain assembly for both
horizontal and downflow applications. The fasteners used
to secure the vent and drain assembly have been included
in the kit. The following list summarizes the requirements
for the location of the vent system termination:
• The location of the vent termination must be consistent
with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or CAN/
CGA-B149 Installation Codes.
• The vent termination must be located at least 4 feet
horizontally from any electric meters, gas meters,
regulators, and relief equipment.

• The vent termination must be located at least 3 feet
above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
• The vent termination must be located at least 4 feet
below, 4 feet horizontally from, or 1 foot above any
door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building.
• The unit should be installed in a way that prevents any
obstruction of the vent termination during accumulating
snow.
• Verify exhaust gases will not impinge on windows
or building surfaces, which may be compromised or
damaged by condensation.
• Do not install the unit such that exhaust from the vent
termination is directed into window wells, stairwells,
under decks, or in alcoves or similarly recessed areas.
