CAUTION
Use appropriate safety precautions! Wear protective
gloves. Thin metal edges are extremely sharp if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
7. BLOCKED VENT SAFETY SWITCH MOUNTING AND
PRESSURE TUBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Failure to properly install the blocked vent safety
switch could result in death or serious injury.
!
The blocked vent safety switch and associated pressure switch
tubing are shipped loose with the furnace. The pressure
switch must be mounted in the correct location on furnace ue
collar, which varies depending on furnace orientation (upow/
downow/horizontal). See Figure 7.
• Conrm the pressure switch is part number 240011288
with 0.50" W.C. set point.
• Mount the pressure switch in the correct location on the
ue collar assembly according to Figure 7 using two #8
x ½” sheet metal screws provided with the switch. See
Figure 6.
• Connect the 6.5” long black high temperature tubing
from the positive pressure port (the black port) on the
pressure switch to the hose barb on the appliance vent
adapter. If the appliance vent adapter and pressure switch
are properly located, the 6.5” tubing should be just long
enough to be installed with no dips or sags. It should be
uphill all the way to the pressure switch. This prevents
condensation from collecting in the tubing. See Figure 7.
• Connect the 30” grey pressure switch tubing from the
negative pressure port (the grey port) on the pressure
switch to the hose tting on the burner combustion air
intake pipe. This tubing can be cut shorter if desired for
convenience. It is not necessary to avoid dips or sags with
this tubing. See Figure 7.
• Connect the two yellow low voltage wires from the burner
to the pressure switch terminals.

6. VENTING INSTALLATION - DIRECT VENT
VENT CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES: ONE (1) INCH.
WARNING
Fire, asphyxiation hazard. Do not enclose vent.
Do not route vent through walls, oors or ceilings.
Improper installation could result in death or serious
injury.

INSTALLATION OF "INSULATED DOUBLE WALL FLEXIBLE
VENT”.
The inner pipe is constructed of 4 inch 316 stainless steel, with
a two-ply aluminum outer pipe. High temperature insulation
separates the inner and outer ex pipes. Refer to Figure 10.
IMPORTANT: The venting and vent terminal are
dedicated to the furnace only; do not attempt to vent
any other appliance through it.
Install venting as follows. Installation shall comply with
CAN/CSA B139 Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment
(Canada) or NFPA 31 Standard for Installation of Oil Burning
Equipment (United States), and / or with local codes and
regulations.
A. In as short and straight a run as possible without any
unnecessary bends.
B. There should not be any dips or sags throughout the full
length of vent.
C. Connector or vent should be sloped upwards from the
appliance at least 1/4” per foot.
D. Do not bend the connector or vent more than 90
degrees.
E. Vent may be cut to minimum of 5 feet in length using
ne tooth (24 teeth per inch) hacksaw blade.
F. Male and female ends of appliance adapters and
connectors must be cleaned with residue free brake
cleaner solvent.
G. Apply minimum 1/4” bead of Si-Ultra Copper Sealant
provided, onto outside of male end of vent to appliance
connector. Fit connector to vent by threading it counter-
clockwise until it stops. Ensure joint is not cross-
threaded.
H. IMPORTANT: The orientation of the appliance
adapter (where vent pipe connects to furnace) is
critical to correct operation of the blocked vent
safety switch. Apply minimum ¼” bead of same
sealant as mentioned above onto female end inside of
appliance connector. Slip connector over end of furnace
ue collar until it stops. Orient the combustion sample
test port and pressure switch hose tting per Figure 7
according to the furnace position. Tighten attached gear
clamp.
I. Support Vent every 36” to prevent sagging.
J. Attach Terminal Connector as described in steps G and H
listed above.
K. Maximum vent length is 20 feet (using a 20 foot vent
kit) Piecing vent kits together (i.e. using 2 ten foot kits
is strictly prohibited).
