WARNING
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by
extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion
and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place.
Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water con-
densation requirements, PVC or ABS pipe is used as venting
material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue
®

Centrotherm Eco Systems and PolyPro
®
by M&G Duravent
are also approved vent and combustion air materials for instal-
lations in the U.S.A. and Canada. Manufacturers Installation
instructions for these products must be followed. These prod-
ucts have specific instructions for installing, joining and termi-
nating. Do not mix materials or components of one manufac-
turer with materials or components of another manufacturer.
All furnaces are built with 2" vent / intake pipe and connec-
tors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe, the transi-
tion from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the furnace as
practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or
vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a fac-
tory built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for
PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this
appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a
solid fuel appliance.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’
recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connec-
tors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and con-
nections possess adequate structural integrity and support to pre-
vent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace opera-
tion.
DUAL CERTIFICATION: NON-DIRECT/DIRECT V ENT
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct
vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-direct
vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent
installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air
intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning
piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and
terminations.

WARNING
MATERIALS AND JOINING METHODS
Two- or three-inch nominal diameter PVC Schedule 40 pipe meet-
ing ASTM D1785, PVC primer meeting ASTM F656, and PVC
solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used.
Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and
ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the pipe manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing of PVC.
The use of Schedule 40 PVC or ABS cellular core (Foam Core)
plastic pipe is also acceptable as a flue/vent and intake pipe mate-
rial. PVC primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement
meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must
be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311.
Carefully follow the manufactures instructions for cutting, cleaning
and solvent cementing of PVC.
For Canadian installations; all PVC pipe, fittings and joining
materials must be UL S636 listed.
As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement, and
fittings, ABS materials which are in compliance with the fol-
lowing specifications may be used: Two-or-three-inch solid
wall ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if
used in Canada, must be CSA listed or, two-or-three-inch
cellular core ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM F628
and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. Solvent cement
for ABS to ABS joints must meet ASTM D2235 and, if used in
Canada, must be CSA listed. The solvent cement for the PVC
to ABS transition joint must meet ASTM D3138. Fittings must
be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2661 and ASTM D3311
and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. Carefully follow
the manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and sol-
vent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
