Venting Using a Masonry Chimney
The following additional requirements apply when a lined
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of
the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile−lined must be
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.
An exterior tile−lined chimney that is sealed and capped
may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.
If the existing chimney will not accommodate a listed metal
liner, either the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate
one of these liners or an alternate approved venting meth-
od must be found.
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsu-
lated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent
pipe manufacturer. See figure 16.

IMPORTANT
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace
into a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside
wall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be lined
with either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall
flexible vent lining system which has been sized ac-
cording to the provided venting tables and the vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions.
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
S The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance
S The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no oth-
er appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall
of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof as-
sembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting SL280DFV series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it
is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
