nameplate and in the table in figure 11. Accessibility and ser-
vice clearances must take precedence over fire protection
clearances.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source
are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz-
ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord-
ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur-
rent National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
NOTE − Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure
to do so may cause erratic limit operation and premature heat
exchanger failure.
This 92AF1DF/95AF1DF furnace must be installed so that
its electrical components are protected from water.
Installation in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units (figure 3), it
shall be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of,
cooling units to avoid condensation in the heating compart-
ment. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other
means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is manu-
ally operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of ei-
ther the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full
HEAT or COOL setting.
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad-
dress:

NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-
tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases
where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem-
perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
The 92AF1DF/95AF1DF furnace may be installed in al-
coves, closets, attics, basements, garages, utility rooms
and crawl spaces.
This furnace design has not been CSA certified for installa-
tion in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all
connections using a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for leak detection.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
These units are not recommended for use as a construc-
tion heater during any phase of construction. Very low re-
turn air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the
unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
These units may be used for heating of buildings or struc-
tures under construction, if the following conditions are
met:
•The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
•A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
•The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
•Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
•Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
•Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.

Page 6
•The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
•One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construc-
tion. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the
furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.
Size the temporary duct following these instructions in
section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a
confined space with air from outside.
•The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
•All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.

Page 7
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the fol-
lowing general recommendations must be considered
when installing this furnace:
•Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-
tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
•When the furnace is installed in non−direct vent applica-
tions, do not install the furnace where drafts might blow
directly into it. This could cause improper combustion
and unsafe operation.
•When the furnace is installed in non−direct vent applica-
tions, do not block the furnace combustion air opening
with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
•When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-
lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
•When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned
space, consider provisions required to prevent freezing
of condensate drain system.
CAUTION
This furnace should not be installed in areas normal-
ly subject to freezing temperatures.
WARNING

Disturbing the insulation in this product during
installation, maintenance, or repair will expose you
to fiberglass wool. Breathing this may cause lung
cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to the State of Cal-
ifornia to cause cancer.)
Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory, skin,
and eye irritation.
To reduce exposure to this substance or for further
information, consult material safety data sheets
available from address shown below, or contact your
supervisor.

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the 92AF1DF/95AF1DF is installed as a Non−Direct
Vent Furnace, follow the guidelines in this section.
NOTE − In Non−Direct Vent installations, combustion air
is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged out−
doors.
WARNING
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rust-
ing and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the com-
bustion air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De−icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside
for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, ap-
pliance vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional
air that could be used for combustion out of the house.
Unless outside air is brought into the house for combus-
tion, negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than
inside pressure) will build to the point that a downdraft
can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result,
combustion gases enter the living space creating a po-
tentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus−
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install 92AF1DF/95AF1DF furnaces to en-
sure efficient and safe operation. You must consider
combustion air needs and requirements for exhaust
vents and gas piping. A portion of this information has
been reprinted with permission from the National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI− Z223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted ma-
terial is not the complete and official position of the ANSI
on the referenced subject, which is represented only by
the standard in its entirety.
In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contami-
nated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventila-
tion air requirements, as well as all local codes.

Page 8
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion pro-
cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur-
nace or other appliance will operate inefficiently and un-
safely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all
fuel−burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, ex-
haust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as
the furnace, much more air is required to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air di-
lutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants
may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents
and other contaminants which can corrode furnace compo-
nents.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ven-
tilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com-
bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be un-
confined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com−
bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This
definition includes furnace closets or small equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con-
taining the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space ei-
ther from inside the building or from outside.
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a
space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by
providing two permanent openings between the two
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 4.

Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-
tion, the confined space shall be provided with two perma-
nent openings. One opening shall be within 12" (305mm)
of the top of the enclosure and one within 12" (305mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly
or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that
freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a mini-
mum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm2
per 1.17kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. When communicating with the outdoors
through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a mini-
mum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu (645mm2
per .59kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the en-
closure (See figure 5).

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-
tion, the confined space must have two permanent open-
ings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of
the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches
(305 mm) of the bottom. These openings must communi-
cate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl
or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indi-
rectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000
Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. See figures 5 and 6. When communicat-
ing with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each open-
ing shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645
mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure. See figure 7.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sec-
tional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
must be considered. If the design and free area of protec-
tive covering is not known for calculating the size opening
required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles
will have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles
must be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the
equipment so that they are opened automatically during
equipment operation.

WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in per-
sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and
joint tape to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the fur-
nace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple-
num. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al-
low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct sys-
tems ever be connected to or from other heating de-
vices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explo-
sion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
and/or property damage could result.
The unit may be installed three ways in counterflow ap-
plications: on non−combustible flooring, on combustible
flooring using an additive base, or on a reverse−flow cool-
ing coil cabinet. Do not drag the unit across the floor in
the counterflow position. Floor and furnace flange
damage will result.

Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−pro-
vided filter is required for the unit to operate properly. Table
3 lists recommended filter size.
A filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. Refer to ACCA Manual
D. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that has
uniform air distribution.
NOTE − This furnace is not certified for operation in heating
mode (indoor blower operating at selected heating speed)
with an external static pressure which exceeds 0.5 inches
w.c. Operation at these conditions may result in improper
limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable
access panel should be installed in the supply air duct. The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection
of the heat exchanger. The furnace access panel must al-
ways be in place when the furnace is operating and it must
not allow leaks into the supply air duct system.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE − Return air must not be drawn from a room
where this furnace, or any other gas−fueled appliance
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide−producing de-
vice (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pres-
sure is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating
in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can
be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This
reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete com-
bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
raw gas or toxic fumes might then be distributed through-
out the house by the furnace duct system.
Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent seal-
ing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet to
ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return air
duct to fit the filter frame.
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan-
dards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that ad-
versely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of
the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratifica-
tion, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Re-
fer to the table 4 below for approved piping and fitting ma-
terials.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liq-
uids and should be kept away from all sources of
ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent
cement when making joints. Good ventilation should
be maintained to reduce fire hazard and to minimize
breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact of cement
with skin and eyes.

IMPORTANT
92AF1DF/95AF1DF exhaust and intake connections
are made of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent ce-
ment when using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS
vent pipe, use transitional solvent cement to make
connections to the PVC fittings in the unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement
meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 4. As an alter-
nate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC
pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same materi-
als. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to ei-
ther 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 in-
side socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth
of fitting socket.
Canadian Applications Only − Pipe, fittings, primer
and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this ap-
pliance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a
single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (ex-
haust) system. In addition, the first three feet of vent
pipe from the furnace flue collar must be accessible for
inspection.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
NOTE − A sheet metal screw may be used to secure
the intake pipe to the connector, if desired. Use a drill
or self tapping screw to make a pilot hole.
DANGER
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system
check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes
before placing unit into operation.
1 − Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length.
2 − Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges
or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe
may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a
leaking joint.
3 − Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 − Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.
5 − Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket
surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting
socket.
6 − Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in-
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap-
plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take
care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec-
ond coat to end of pipe.
NOTE − Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim-
er to dry before applying cement.
7 − Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe
are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into
socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur-
ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis-
tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular
core pipe.
NOTE − Assembly should be completed within 20 sec-
onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows
should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 − After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a
bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi-
cate an improper assembly due to insufficient sol-
vent.
9 − Handle joints carefully until completely set.

If a 92AF1DF/95AF1DF furnace replaces a furnace which
was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size
of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue prod-
ucts, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the
single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be
checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.

1 − In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on
all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
2 − When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is
shut down for an extended period of time, such as a
vacation home, make provisions for draining conden-
sate collection trap and lines.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 20 and 21)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installa-
tion following instructions given in piping termination sec-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti-
cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re-
quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end
is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres-
sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak-
age of combustion products into the living space.
Vent Pipe Guidelines
The 92AF1DF/95AF1DF can be installed as either a Non−
Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE − In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from out-
doors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing −− Size pipe according to
tables 6 and 7. Table 6 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths
permitted. Table 7 lists the maximum pipe lengths per-
mitted.

045, 070, 090, 110
15 ft. or
5 ft plus 2 elbows or
10 ft plus 1 elbow
*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum length listed.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping
Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to table 8.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ-
ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be
used. Contact Application Department for assistance in
sizing vent pipe in these applications.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze−ups
and may block the terminations.

Intake Piping
The 92AF1DF/95AF1DF furnace may be installed in ei-
ther direct vent or non−direct vent applications. In non−
direct vent applications, when intake air will be drawn into
the furnace from the surrounding space, the indoor air
quality must be considered. Guidelines listed in Combus-
tion, Dilution and Ventilation Air section must be followed.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct
Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from
outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. The
provided air intake screen must not be used in direct
vent applications (outdoors).
1 − Use cement to secure the intake pipe to the inlet air
connector.
2 − Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guide lines for piping terminations and intake and ex-
haust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Re-
fer to table 7for pipe sizes.

(Provided)
NOTE − Air intake screen and elbow may be rotated, so that
screen may be positioned to face forward or to either side.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Non-
Direct Vent applications where combustion air is taken
from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
1− Use field−provided materials and the factory−provided
air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in
figure 22. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3" (76mm)
around the air intake opening. The air intake opening
(with the protective screen) should always be directed
forward, or sideways.
2 − Use cement to secure the intake pipe to the connector,
if desired.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations
In Non-Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken
from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out-
doors. The 92AF1DF/95AF1DF is then classified as a
non-direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from
outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out-
doors. The 92AF1DF/95AF1DF is then classified as a di-
rect vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In both Non-Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the
vent termination is limited by local building codes. In the
absence of local codes, refer to the current National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223−1/NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current
CSA−B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in
Canada for details.
Position termination according to location given in figure 23
or 24. In addition, position termination so it is free from any
obstructions and 12" above the average snow accumula-
tion.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain
protective coatings over building materials (prolonged
exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy protective
coatings). It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be
located within 6 feet (1.8m) of a condensing unit because
the condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE − If winter design temperature is below 32°F (0°C),
exhaust piping should be insulated with 1/2" (13mm), Ar-
maflex or equivalent when run through unheated space.
Do not leave any surface area of exhaust pipe open to out-
side air; exterior exhaust pipe should be insulated with
1/2" (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent. In extreme cold cli-
mate areas, 3/4" (19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be
necessary. Insulation on outside runs of exhaust pipe
must be painted or wrapped to protect insulation from de-
terioration. Exhaust pipe insulation may not be necessary
in some specific applications.
NOTE − During extremely cold temperatures, below
approximately 20°F (6.7°C), units with long runs of vent
pipe through unconditioned space, even when insulated,
may form ice in the exhaust termination that prevents the
unit from operating properly. Longer run times of at least 5
minutes will alleviate most icing problems. Also, a heating
cable may be installed on exhaust piping and termination
to prevent freeze−ups. Heating cable installation kit is
available. See Condensate Piping section for part num-
bers.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust
terminations. Doing so will cause freeze−ups and
may block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only:
In accordance to CSA International B149 installation
codes, the minimum allowed distance between the
combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of
other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches
(305mm).
