Installer’s Guide
NOTE:
It is recommended that the first joints from the furnace
be connected and sealed with high temperature RTV.
This will enable the pipes to be removed later without
cutting.
Be sure to properly support these joints.
BONDING OF PVC
Commercially available solvent cement must be used
to join the pipe and fittings. Follow instructions on the
container carefully.
Procedure for Cementing Joints:
1. Cut pipe square, remove ragged edges and burrs.
Chamfer end of pipe, then clean fitting socket and
pipe joint area of all dirt, grease, moisture or chips.
2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe
socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal
coat of primer to inside surface of socket and out-
side of pipe.
DO NOT ALLOW PRIMER TO DRY BEFORE AP-
PLYING CEMENT.
3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket.
Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe
end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting
movement until it bottoms out.
4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to pre-
vent tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of
the fitting.
5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag.
Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time varies
according to fit, temperature and humidity.

PVC VENT FITTING MATERIAL
These fittings are available from your Gas Furnace
Distributors.
Straight Pipe Sections, Couplings, 45° Elbows, 60° El-
bows, 90° Elbows, Vent or Sanitary Tee, or other neces-
sary fittings may be 2", 2½", 3", or 4" diameter. The al-
lowable materials are shown in Table 7.
VENT FITTING MATERIAL – PLASTIC
Gas and liquid tight single wall vent fittings, designed
for resistance to corrosive flue condensate, MUST be
used throughout.
Listed in Table 8 & 9 are 2", 2½", 3", and 4" size fittings
that meet these requirements. The materials listed are
various grades of PVC and ABS plastic.
PIPE JOINTS: All joints must be fastened and sealed to
prevent escape of combustion products into the build-
ing.
IMPORTANT:
Products installed in Canada must use vent systems
that are certified to the Standard for Type BH Gas Vent-
ing Systems (ULC S636) for Class II-A venting systems
(up to 65°C). Components of the vent system must not
be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted
pipe or fittings. Plastic components, specified prim-
ers, and glues must be from a single system manufac-
turer and not intermixed with other system
manufacturer's vent system parts. In addition, the first
three feet of the vent pipe must be visible for inspec-
tion.
