INSTALLATION – Setting Equipment
WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front, back or in the
horizontal position. See Figure 6. Do no connect the
return air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing so will
adversely affect the operation of the safety control
devices, which could result in personal injury or death.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances that
are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas supply
connections, electrical supply, vent connection, condensate
trap and drain connections, and installation and service
clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at unit front]. The unit must
be level from side to side. Tilt the unit slightly (maximum
1/2 in. from level) from back to front to aid in the draining of
the heat exchanger. See Figure 5.
•Air filters must be replaced upon construction completion.
•The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
•One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be provided
for combustion air requirements during construction.
Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the furnace.
Do not connect duct directly to the furnace. Size the
temporary duct following the 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 cleanup.
•All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input
rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.
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
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing one of these furnaces:
•Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should also
be located close to the vent termination point.
•When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent
applications, 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 a non-direct vent
applications, 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 insulated
space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
•When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space,
consider provisions required to prevent freezing of the
condensate drain system.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates
these additional requirements:
•Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber
or fitter only.
•The gas cock must be “T handle” type.
•When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passageway
to and service area surrounding the equipment shall be
floored.
These units should not be installed in areas normally
subject to freezing temperatures.
CAUTION
Product Contains Fiberglass Wool.
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 California 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.
