Blower housing with integral exhaust flange

摘要

A blower for a furnace is provided with an exhaust flange having a compressible end portion, and a flexible fitting adapted to receive an exhaust pipe is insertable into an interior of the exhaust flange. A clamp compresses the compressible end portion about the flexible fitting and the exhaust pipe to secure the exhaust pipe to the blower. A drain may be provided adjacent the compressible end portion to remove condensate which may be entrained in the exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe, exhaust fitting and exhaust flange.
