@
)ical Installation Using
Class "B" Vent Pipe
1. Adequate clearances around floor furnace.
2. Draft Diverter 6" from combustibles.
3. Adequate clearances around vent pipe.
4. Horizontal vent pipe sloping upward 1/4" per t\)ot.
5. Pipe supported with metal straps.
6. Adequate height of vent system.
7. Listed vent cap.
@
If more than one gas appliance is vented through
a common vent system, the vent should be
increased in size to accommodate the increased
load. Consult your local code or the tables in the
latest edition of NFPA54/ANSI.Z223.1 t\_r the
correct size. If no local codes apply, use the
following alternate method for sizing a vent
connected to more than one appliance. The
effective area of the vent must be not less than
the area of the largest vent connection plus 50
percent of the areas of additional draft hood
outlets.
The homeowner appreciates neatness in
workmanship and the neat installation usually
functions better than the sloppy one. Double
check your work to verify that all clearances around
the floor furnace and vent system are adequate
and that the vent system is installed to code or
pipe manuthcturers specifications. SeeFigure 10.

GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
The gas piping system must meet the requirements of local codes or the specifications of the selwicing gas supplier. It must
have adequate capacity to supply the floor furnace and any other appliance within the home with enough gas to maintain the
full rated capacities without excessive pressure drop when all appliances are operating at full rate.

Where local conditions include earthquake, tornado, unstable ground or flood hazards, give special consideration to
increased strength and flexibility of piping supports and connections. Consult local authorities f\3rrecommendations.
All unused openings in the piping system must be securely closed gas-tight.
