    HVAC Furnace will not light when exhaust pipe is connected...
    At first our furnace heat wasn't coming on, we called our home warranty company and they sent out a HVAC guy. He replaced the inducer motor and the pressure switch. Then it still wasn't coming on properly so he said it was the exhaust or flu pipe that was blocked and we had to call a plumber to come and check on it. We have since had 2 plumbers check the pipe and nothing was in it. The last time the HVAC guy came he showed us that the furnace would come on, or light, when the flu pipe was off but wouldn't light when the flu pipe was connected, that's why he concluded there was stoppage in the pipe. If we take the pipe off and start up the furnace, then connect the pipe while it's running it will stay on. The HVAC guy has already been out to my house about 5 times now and he obviously doesn't know what else can be causing it.

Furnace exhaust pipe length [ 1 Answers ]

The furnace exhaust pipe (2 inch PVC) currently comes straight out of the back of the house about one foot. Can a 45 degree elbow be added to the end to vent it either up or down without causing any problems? Also, does it need to extend out of the back of the house by a certain number of inches?
