PVC VENT FITTING MATERIAL
These fittings are available from your Gas Furnace
Distributors.
Straight Pipe Sections, Couplings, 45° Elbows, 60° Elbows,
90° Elbows, Vent or Sanitary Tee, or other necessary fittings
may be 2", 2½", 3", or 4" diameter. The allowable materials are
shown in Table 10.
VENT FITTING MATERIAL – PLASTIC
Gas and liquid tight single wall vent fittings, designed for resis-
tance to corrosive flue condensate, MUST be used throughout.
Listed in Table 10 are designations for different types of 2" and
3" size pipe and fittings that meet these requirements. The ma-
terials listed are various grades of PVC, CPVC, ABS, and Du-
raVent PolyPro®.
ATTACHING VENT PIPING
Important: Products installed in Canada must use vent
systems that are certified to the Standard for Type BH Gas
Venting 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 primers, and glues must
be from a single system manufacturer 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 inspection.
PIPE JOINTS: All joints must be fastened and sealed to
prevent escape of combustion products into the building.
MANUFACTURED MODULAR VENTING SYSTEMS
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
See Table 10 for manufactured modular venting systems
that are approved for use with this product. Follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions when installing the
venting system. Failure to follow this warning may result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
TABLE 10
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Do not use cement on polypropelene venting systems.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when
installing the venting system. Failure to follow this
warning may result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
For manufactured modular venting systems that are ap-
proved with this product see Table 10. Do not drill into
polypropelene venting pipes
BONDING OF PVC
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.
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 sock-
et and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of
primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe.
DO NOT ALLOW PRIMER TO DRY BEFORE APPLY-
ING CEMENT.
3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket. Quick-
ly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and in-
sert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting movement
until it bottoms out.
4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent
tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.
5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow
