IMPORTANT
EL296DFE exhaust and intake connections are made
of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when
using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to the
PVC ttings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent ce-
ment meeting ASTM specications, refer to TABLE 4.
As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS,
PVC, or CPVC pipe when using ttings and pipe made of
the same materials. Use transition solvent cement when
bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during
cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for
vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC
primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean
inside socket surface of tting and male end of pipe to
depth of tting socket
Canadian Applications Only - Pipe, ttings, primer and
solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this appliance must

facturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust) system. In
addition, the rst three feet of vent pipe from the furnace
ue collar must be accessible for inspection.
