!WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace
component damage.
This gas furnace may be used for heating buildings
under construction provided that:
−The furnace is permanently installed with all
electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed
according to these installation instructions. A return
air duct is provided, sealed to the furnace casing, and
terminated outside the space containing the furnace.
This prevents a negative pressure condition as
created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame
rollout and/or drawing combustion products into the
structure.
−The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not
be hot wired to provide heat continuously to the
structure without thermostatic control.
−Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is
to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives,
sealers and other construction materials. It also
prevents the entrainment of drywall dust into
combustion air, which can cause fouling and plugging
of furnace components.
−The temperature of the return air to the furnace is
maintained between 55F (13C) and 80F (27C),
with no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the
furnace while the structure is under construction is
deemed to be intermittent operation per our
installation instructions.
−The air temperature rise is within the rated rise
range on the furnace rating plate, and the gas input
rate has been set to the nameplate value.
−The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or
thoroughly cleaned prior to occupancy.
−The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as
necessary to remove drywall dust and construction
debris from all HVAC system components after
construction is completed.
−Verify proper furnace operating conditions including
ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and
venting according to these installation instructions.

If:
Iother = combined input of all other than fan−assisted
appliances in Btuh/hr
Ifan = combined input of all fan−assisted appliances in
Btuh/hr ACH = air changes per hour (ACH shall not exceed
0.60.) The following requirements apply to the Standard
Method and to the Known Air Infiltration Rate Method.
1. Adjoining rooms can be considered part of a space if:
a. There are no closeable doors between rooms.
b. Combining spaces on same floor level. Each open-
ing shall have free area of at least 1 in.2/1,000 Btuh
(2,000 mm2/kW) of the total input rating of all gas
appliances in the space, but not less than 100 in.2
(0.06 m2). One opening shall commence within 12
in. (300 mm) of the ceiling and the second opening
shall commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the floor.
The minimum dimension of air openings shall be at
least 3 in. (80 mm). (See Figure 8)
c. Combining space on different floor levels. The
volumes of spaces on different floor levels shall be
considered as communicating spaces if connected
by one or more permanent openings in doors or
floors having free area of at least 2 in.2/1,000 Btuh
(4,400 mm2/kW) of total input rating of all gas appli-
ances.
2. An attic or crawlspace may be considered a space that
freely communicates with the outdoors provided there
are adequate permanent ventilation openings directly
to outdoors having free area of at least 1−in.2/4,000
Btuh of total input rating for all gas appliances in the
space.
3. In spaces that use the Indoor Combustion Air Method,
infiltration should be adequate to provide air for com-
bustion, permanent ventilation and dilution of flue
gases. However, in buildings with unusually tight con-
struction, additional air MUST be provided using the
methods described in the Outdoor Combustion Air
Method section.
Unusually tight construction is defined as Construction with:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outdoors have a
continuous, sealed vapor barrier. Openings are gas-
keted or sealed and
b. Doors and openable windows are weatherstripped
and
c. Other openings are caulked or sealed. These in-
clude joints around window and door frames,
between sole plates and floors, between wall−ceil-
ing joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for
plumbing, electrical and gas lines, etc.
Combination of Indoor and Outdoor Air
1. Indoor openings shall comply with the Indoor Com-
bustion Air Method below and,
2. Outdoor openings shall be located as required in the
Outdoor Combustion Air Method mentioned previ-
ously and,
3. Outdoor openings shall be sized as follows:
a. Calculate the Ratio of all Indoor Space volume di-
vided by required volume for Indoor Combustion
Air Method below.
b. Outdoor opening size reduction Factor is 1 minus
the Ratio in a. above.
c. Minimum size of Outdoor openings shall be the size
required in Outdoor Combustion Air Method
above multiplied by reduction Factor in b. above.
The minimum dimension of air openings shall be
not less than 3 in. (80 mm).

POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace
with control compartment facing downward. Safety
control operation will be adversely affected. Never
connect return−air ducts to the back of the furnace.
!WARNING
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl
space on either the left−hand (LH) or right−hand (RH) side.
The furnace can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or
installed on a non−combustible platform, blocks, bricks or
pad.
Suspended Furnace Support
The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded
rod, angle iron or metal plumber’s strap as shown. (See
Figure 15 and Figure 16) Secure angle iron to bottom of
furnace as shown. Heavy−gauge sheet metal straps
(plumber’s straps) may be used to suspend the furnace from
each bottom corner. To prevent screws from pulling out, use 2
#8 x 3/4−in. (19 mm) screws into the side and 2 #8 x 3/4−in.
(19 mm) screws in the bottom of the furnace casing for each
strap. (See Figure 15 and Figure 16)
If the screws are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not
the bottom, the straps must be vertical against the furnace
sides and not pull away from the furnace sides, so that the
strap attachment screws are not in tension (are loaded in
shear) for reliable support.
Platform Furnace Support
Construct working platform at location where all required
furnace clearances are met. (See Figure 2 and Figure 17) For
furnaces with 1−in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side,
set furnace on non−combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron.
For crawl space installations, if the furnace is not suspended
from the floor joists, the ground underneath furnace must be
level and the furnace set on blocks or bricks.
Roll−Out Protection
Provide a minimum 17−3/4 in. x 22 in. (451 x 559 mm) piece
of sheet metal for flame roll−out protection in front of burner
area for furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm) above the
combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12
inches (305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend
underneath the furnace casing by 1 in. (25 mm) with the door
removed.
The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17−1/2 in.
(445 mm) and larger may be used for flame roll−out
protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air
connection. See Figure 17 for proper orientation of roll−out
shield.
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel
installed in bottom return−air opening. Remove and discard
this panel when bottom return air is used. To remove bottom
closure panel, perform the following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding bot-
tom filler panel. (See Figure 9)
2. Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding
tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel
installed in bottom return−air opening. This panel MUST be in
place when side return air inlet(s) is used without a bottom
return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections. (See Figure 20)

AIR DUCTS
General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal
and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air
Systems Design Guidelines reference tables available from
your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to
handle the required system design CFM at the design
external static pressure. The furnace airflow rates are
provided in Table 5 −AIR DELIVERY−CFM (With Filter).
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space
containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by
duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork
used. Seal supply−and return−duct connections to furnace
with code approved tape or duct sealer.
NOTE: Flexible connections should be used between
ductwork and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration.
Ductwork passing through unconditioned space should be
insulated and sealed to enhance system performance. When
air conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1−in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible
materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914
mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local
code for further requirements.
Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
NOTE: Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree
elbow and 10 ft. (3 M) of main duct to the first branch take−off
may require internal acoustical lining. As an alternative,
fibrous ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in
accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction
standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and
fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA 90B as tested by UL
Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
Supply Air Connections
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct
shall be provided with a removable access panel. This
opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and
shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be
viewed for possible openings using light assistance or a
probe can be inserted for sampling the air stream. The cover
attachment shall prevent leaks.

Upflow and Horizontal Furnaces
Connect supply−air duct to flanges on furnace supply−air
outlet. Bend flange upward to 90with wide duct pliers. (See
Figure 14) The supply−air duct must be connected to ONLY
the furnace supply−outlet−air duct flanges or air conditioning
coil casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing
side to attach supply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories.
All accessories MUST be connected to duct external to
furnace main casing.
NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top−most flange may
be bent past 90to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the
flange temporarily while the remaining attachment and
sealing of the coil are performed.
Downflow Furnaces
Connect supply−air duct to supply−air outlet on furnace. Bend
flange inward past 90with wide duct pliers. (See Figure 14)
The supply−air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace
supply−outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used).
When installed on combustible material, supply−air duct must
be connected to ONLY the accessory subbase or a factory
approved air conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main
furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or
other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected to
duct external to furnace casing.
FIRE HAZARD
A failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury, or death and/or property damage.
Never connect return−air ducts to the back of the
furnace. Follow instructions below.
!WARNING
Return Air Connections
Downflow Furnaces
The return−air duct must be connected to return−air opening
(bottom inlet) as shown in Figure 19. DO NOT cut into casing
sides (left or right). Side opening is permitted for only upflow
and most horizontal furnaces. (See Figure 19) Bypass
humidifier connections should be made at ductwork or coil
casing sides exterior to furnace.
Upflow and Horizontal Furnaces
The return−air duct must be connected to bottom, sides (left
or right), or a combination of bottom and side(s) of main
furnace casing as shown in Figure 18 and Figure 20. Bypass
humidifier may be attached into unused return air side of the
furnace casing. (See Figure 18 and Figure 20)
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections. (See Figure 20)
GAS PIPING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all
connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
!WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas
control manifold and a gas leak.
!WARNING
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and
local codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC.
Installations must be made in accordance with all authorities
having jurisdiction. If possible, the gas supply line should be a
separate line running directly from meter to furnace.
NOTE: In the state of Massachusetts:
1. Gas supply connections MUST be performed by a li-
censed plumber or gas fitter.
2. When flexible connectors are used, the maximum
length shall not exceed 36 inches (915 mm).
3. When lever handle type manual equipment shutoff
valves are used, they shall be T−handle valves.
4. The use of copper tubing for gas piping is NOT ap-
proved by the state of Massachusetts.
Refer to Table 6 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers
must be used to connect to furnace and to meter. Support all
gas piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc. Use a
minimum of 1 hanger every 6 ft. (1.8 M) Joint compound (pipe
dope) should be applied sparingly and only to male threads of
joints. Pipe dope must be resistant to the action of propane
gas.

FURNACE OVERHEAT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit
component damage.
Connect gas pipe to gas valve using a backup
wrench to avoid damaging gas controls and burner
misalignment.
CAUTION
!
An accessible manual equipment shutoff valve MUST be
installed external to furnace casing and within 6 ft. (1.8 M) of
furnace. A 1/8−in. (3 mm) NPT plugged tapping, accessible
for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of gas supply connection to furnace and
downstream of manual equipment shutoff valve.
NOTE: The furnace gas valve inlet pressure tap connection
is suitable to use as test gauge connection providing test
pressure DOES NOT exceed maximum 0.5 psig (14−in. w.c.)
stated on gas control valve. (See Figure 41)

Some installations require gas entry on right side of furnace
(as viewed in upflow.) (See Figure 21)
Install a sediment trap in riser leading to furnace as shown in
Figure 22. Connect a capped nipple into lower end of tee.
Capped nipple should extend below level of furnace gas
controls. Place a ground joint union between furnace gas
control valve and exterior manual equipment gas shutoff
valve. A 1/8−in. (3 mm) NPT plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of gas supply connection to furnace and
downstream of manual equipment shutoff valve.
Piping should be pressure and leak tested in accordance with
NFGC, local, and national plumbing and gas codes before
the furnace has been connected. After all connections have
been made, purge lines and check for leakage at furnace
prior to operating furnace.
If pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14−in. w.c.), gas supply pipe
must be disconnected from furnace and capped before and
during supply pipe pressure test. If test pressure is equal to or
less than 0.5 psig (14−in. w.c.), turn off electric shutoff switch
located on furnace gas control valve and accessible manual
equipment shutoff valve before and during supply pipe
pressure test. After all connections have been made, purge
lines and check for leakage at furnace prior to operating
furnace.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings could result in
dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property
damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous
operation, serious injury, death or property damage.
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical
power to furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior
to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
!WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Blower access panel door switch opens 115−v power
to control. No component operation can occur. Do not
bypass or close switch with panel removed.
!WARNING
See Figure 26 for field wiring diagram showing typical field
115−v wiring. Check all factory and field electrical
connections for tightness.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
The cabinet MUST have an uninterrupted or unbroken
ground according to NEC NFPA 70−2011 or local codes
to minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should
occur. This may consist of electrical wire, conduit
approved for electrical ground or a listed, grounded
power cord (where permitted by local code) when
installed in accordance with existing electrical codes.
Refer to the power cord manufacturer’s ratings for
proper wire gauge. Do not use gas piping as an
electrical ground.
!WARNING
FURNACE MAY NOT OPERATE
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent
furnace operation.
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation
or else control will lock out. Control must remain
grounded through green/yellow wire routed to gas valve
and manifold bracket screw.
CAUTION
!
115−V WIRING
Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to
that specified on unit rating plate. Also, check to be sure that
service provided by utility is sufficient to handle load imposed
by this equipment. Refer to rating plate or Table 7 for
equipment electrical specifications.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70−2011 and any local codes or
ordinances that might apply.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect
switch and furnace. Use only copper wire.
!WARNING
Use a separate, fused branch electrical circuit with a properly
sized fuse or circuit breaker for this furnace. See Table 7 for
wire size and fuse specifications. A readily accessible means
of electrical disconnect must be located within sight of the
furnace.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115−v wiring.
If polarity is incorrect, control LED status indicator light will
flash a status code 10 and furnace will NOT operate.
J−BOX RELOCATION
NOTE: If factory location of J−Box is acceptable, go to next
section (ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO J−BOX).
NOTE: On 14−in. (356 mm) wide casing models, the J−Box
shall not be relocated to other side of furnace casing when
the vent pipe is routed within the casing.
1. Remove and save two screws holding J−Box. (See
Figure 23)
NOTE: The J−Box cover need not be removed from the
J−Box in order to move the J−Box. Do NOT remove green
ground screw inside J−Box. The ground screw is not
threaded into the casing flange and can be lifted out of the
clearance hole in casing while swinging the front edge of the
J−Box outboard of the casing.
2. Cut wire tie on loop in furnace wires attached to J−box.
