sensitive to this minor smoke and odor. It is recommended that
doors and windows be open during the first heat cycle.
INTRODUCTION
This 4--way multipoise Category IV condensing furnace is CSA
design--certified as a direct vent (2-pipe) or non-direct vent
(1-pipe) furnace. (See Figure 2.) The furnace is
factory--shipped for use with natural gas. The furnace can be
converted in the field for use with propane gas when a
factory-supplied conversion kit is used. Refer to the furnace
rating plate for conversion kit information.
This furnace is approved for installation in a mobile home when
a factory-supplied accessory mobile home conversion kit is
used. The conversion kit is required for use with both natural
and propane gas. The furnace must also be installed on a
factory-supplied accessory combustible floor base or
evaporator coil casing.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return--air
temperature of 60_F(15_C) db or intermittent operation down
to 55_F(13_C) db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 80_F
(27_C) db. Failure to follow these return-air temperature limits
may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls.
(See Figure 3).
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the
design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs
because of furnace model size capacity increments. None of
the furnace model sizes can be used if the heating load is
20,000 BTU or lower. Use Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (Manual J and S); American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air--Conditioning Engineers; or other
approved engineering method to calculate heating load
estimates and select the furnace. Excessive oversizing of the
furnace may cause the furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely,
customer discomfort and/or vent freezing.
Failure to follow these guidelines is considered faulty
installation and/or misapplication of the furnace; and resulting
failure, damage, or repairs may impact warranty coverage.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable
instruction literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping materials, loose parts bag, and
literature before operating the furnace. (See Table 1).

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) PRECAUTIONS
PROCEDURE
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit
component damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace
installation and servicing to protect the furnace
electronic control. Precautions will prevent
electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand
tools which are held during the procedure. These
precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to
electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the
control, and the person at the same electrostatic
potential.
CAUTION
!
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELECTROSTATIC
CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held
in a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service
the control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing
to recharge your body with static electricity (for example;
DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch
ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your
body with static electricity), firmly touch a clean,
unpainted metal surface of the furnace again before
touching control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled
(ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container,
discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control from damage. If the control is to be
installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before
bringing the control or yourself in contact with the
furnace. Put all used and new controls into containers
before touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may result
in premature furnace component failure. 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.

When the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
the burners and ignition sources must be located at
least 18 in. (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace
must be located or protected to avoid damage by
vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a public
garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be
installed in accordance with the NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1--2012 or CAN/CSA B149.2--2010. (See
Figure 5.)
!WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury, death and/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. (See Figure 4.)
!WARNING
Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the
downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers
or other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the
furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless
the damper is in the full--heat or full--cool position.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Introduction
Direct Vent (2--pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace,
no special provisions for air for combustion are required.
However, other gas appliances installed in the space with the
furnace may require outside air for combustion. Follow the
guidelines below to insure that other gas appliances have
sufficient air for combustion.
Non--Direct Vent (1--pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a non-direct vent (1-pipe)
furnace, it will be necessary to insure there is adequate air for
combustion. Other gas appliances installed with the furnace
may also require air for combustion and ventilation in addition
to the amount of combustion air and ventilation air required for

the furnace. Follow the guidelines below to insure that the
furnace and other gas appliances have sufficient air for
combustion.
Ventilated Combustion Air Applications
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion
air option, the attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with
the outdoor to provide sufficient air for combustion. The
combustion air pipe cannot be terminated in attics or
crawlspaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate
during the heating season. If ventilation fans are present in
these areas, the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors
as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a
space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic,
crawlspace, or equipment closet) and the space is well isolated
from the living space or garage. In addition, other gas
appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require
outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to
insure that the roof or crawlspace walls have sufficient free
area to provide sufficient air for combustion and ventilation for
the furnaces. The guidelines below can be used to insure that
other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
SU.S.A. Installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1--2012 , Air for Combustion and Ventilation and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
SCanada: Part 8 of the CAN/CSA--B149.1--2010,
Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances.
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace
damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by
halogen compounds, which include fluoride,
chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can
corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life.
Air contaminants are found in aerosol sprays,
detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products.
CAUTION
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation
fans, clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces
could create a NEGATIVE PRESSURE
CONDITION at the furnace. Make--up air MUST be
provided for the ventilation devices, in addition to
that required by the furnace. Refer to the Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in the venting
section of these instructions to determine if an
adequate amount of make--up air is available.
!WARNING
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend
upon whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a
volume of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for
all gas appliances installed in the space.
SSpaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
(4.8 cubic meters per kW) require the Outdoor
Combustion Air Method.
SSpaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
(4.8 cubic meters per kW) may use the Indoor
Combustion Air, Standard or Known Air Infiltration
Method.
Outdoor Combustion Air Method
1. Provide the space with sufficient air for proper
combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using
permanent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s)
directly communicating with the outdoors or spaces that
freely communicate with the outdoors.

OPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion and
ventilation air opening, to the outdoors.
a. One opening MUST commence within 12 in. (300
mm) of the ceiling and the second opening MUST
commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the floor.
b. Size openings and ducts per Figure 6 and Table 3.
c. TWO HORIZONTAL DUCTS require 1 sq. in. (645
sq. mm) of free area per 2,000 Btuh (1,100 mm2/kW)
of combined input for all gas appliances in the space
per Figure 6 and Table 3.
d. TWO OPENINGS OR VERTICAL DUCTS require 1
sq. in. (645 sq. mm) of free area per 4,000 Btuh (550
mm2/kW) for combined input of all gas appliances in
the space per Figure 6 and Table 3.
3. ONE OUTDOOR OPENING requires:
a. 1 sq. in. (645 sq. mm) of free area per 3,000 Btuh
(734 mm2/kW) for combined input of all gas

Standard Method
1. The space has no less volume than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btuh of the maximum input ratings for all gas
appliances installed in the space and
2. The air infiltration rate is not known to be less than 0.40
air changes per hour (ACH).
The Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used, if the
infiltration rate is known to be:
1. Less than 0.40 ACH and
2. Equal to or greater than 0.10 ACH
Infiltration rates greater than 0.60 ACH shall not be used. The
minimum required volume of the space varies with the number
of ACH and shall be determined per Table 4 or Equations 1 and
2. Determine the minimum required volume for each appliance
in the space and add the volumes together to get the total
minimum required volume for the space.
Table 4 -- Minimum Space Volumes were determined by using

(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
3in.(80mm).(SeeFigure7.)
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
havingfreeareaofatleast2in.
2/1,000 Btuh (4,400
mm2/kW) of total input rating of all gas appliances.
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
combustion, permanent ventilation and dilution of flue
gases. However, in buildings with unusually tight
construction, additional air MUST be provided using the
methods described in the Outdoor Combustion Air
Method section.
4. Unusually tight construction is defined as Construction

CONDENSATE DRAIN
CONNECTION
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may
result in property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing
furnace in an area which may drop below freezing.
This can cause improper operation or damage to
equipment. If furnace environment has the potential
of freezing, the drain trap and drain line must be
protected. The use of accessory drain trap heaters,
electric heat tape and/or RV antifreeze is
recommended for these installations.
CAUTION
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst
water pipes and/or property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged
condensate drain or a failed pump may cause the
furnace to shut down. Do not leave the home
unattended during freezing weather without turning
off water supply and draining water pipes or
otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen pipes.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the
condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible,
DO NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain
line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the
condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below 32°F(0°C). This can cause
improper operation or damage to the equipment. If the furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and
drain line must be protected. In areas where the temperature
may be below 32°F(0°C), a Condensate Freeze Protection kit
is required. The kit includes a condensate trap with heat pad
and replaces the factory--installed condensate trap. Refer to the
accessory section of the Specification Sheets for current kit
number. A self--regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape
rated at 3 to 6 watt per foot (10 to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt,
40°F(4°C) may be used to provide freeze protection of the
remaining condensate drain line. Wrap the drain trap and the
drain line with the heat tape and secure with appropriate plastic
ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s recommendations.
Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured
per local codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to
prevent the drain line from sagging or being dislocated from the
furnace or termination point. In the absence of local codes,
consult the edition of the National Standard Plumbing Code
2009, in the US or the National Plumbing Code of Canada
2010 in Canada.
Upflow/Downflow Orientation
In the Upflow or Downflow orientation, the condensate trap is
inside the furnace casing. The condensate drain must be
routed from the trap through the furnace casing. The
condensate drain can be routed through the left or right side of
the casing. (The left or right side is as you are viewing/facing
the furnace from the front.)
An indoor coil condensate drain or humidifier drain can be
connected to the external furnace condensate drain provided:
a. The drains are not hard piped together, and
b. There is an air gap at the point where the two drain
lines meet or
c. All condensate piping is at least 1/2 in. PVC and
there is a relief tee at the top of condensate drain
piping as shown below:
NOTE: On narrower casings, it may be easier to remove the
condensate trap, connect the drain line components and
re-install the condensate trap. Read the steps thoroughly to
familiarize yourself with the required steps.
For Right Side Condensate Drain:
1. Remove the 7/8--in. knock--out from the right side of the
casing. (See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal
technique.)
2. Remove the pre--formed rubber drain elbow and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. Slide a spring clamp 1 inch (25 mm) down the plain end
(the end without the formed grommet) of the drain elbow.
4. From inside the casing, insert the formed grommet end
of the elbow through the 7/8--in. knockout in the casing.
5. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout
6. Attach the plain end of the drain elbow to the outlet stub
on the drain trap. Secure the drain elbow to the trap with
thespringclamp.
The remaining drain line can be constructed from field supplied
1/2--in. CPVC or 3/4--in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local
building codes. A factory--supplied 1/2--in. CPVC to 3/4--in.
PVC adapter is supplied in the loose parts bag for use as
required.
7. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
8. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
9. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code--approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Contractors have found that
temporarily removing the inducer assembly in upflow
applications while performing the steps below, makes upflow
left--side drain connections easier.
For Left Side Condensate Drain
Connection:
1. For left side condensate drainage, the drain line is routed
from the condensate trap, behind the inducer (upflow) or
gas valve (downflow) and out through the left side of the
furnace casing. A pre-formed 1/2--in. CPVC “Z-pipe” is
provided with the furnace. The “Z-pipe” is long enough to
extend across the casing for drain connections.
2. Locate the “Z-pipe”. Remove the pre-formed drain elbow
and four spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. The“Z-pipe” is connected to the condensate trap and the
outside of the furnace by modifying the formed rubber
drain elbow as shown in Figure 18.

Specifications subject to change without notice.
4. Remove the formed grommet from the rubber drain
elbow by cutting the elbow along the vertical line located
about 1--3/8 in. (35 mm) away from the formed grommet.
See Figure 16. DO NOT DISCARD THE FORMED
GROMMET OR THE RUBBER ELBOW. Both of these
pieces will be used.
Assemble and route the drain line to the opposite side of the
furnace as detailed below:
5. Remove the knock--out from the left side of the casing.
(See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal
technique.)
6. From the outside of the casing, insert the angled end of
the“Z-pipe” through drain hole in the left side of the
casing and behind the inducer or gas valve. Allow
the“Z-pipe” to temporarily rest on the blower shelf
(upflow) or burner box (downflow). (NOTE: When the
inducer housing has been removed to ease installation in
upflow applications, this step is not needed.)
7. After inserting the “Z-pipe” through the casing, slide a
spring clamp over each end of the “Z-pipe”.
8. From inside the casing, insert the short end of the formed
grommet cut from the rubber drain elbow through the
7/8-in. drain knockout in the casing.
9. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout.
10. Align the “Z-pipe” with the long end of the grommet inside
the furnace and insert slightly. The angled end of the
tube at the other side of the casing should be facing the
front of the furnace.
11. Slide a spring clamp over the end of the remaining
rubber drain elbow.
12. Attach the drain elbow to the angled end of “Z-pipe” and
the drain trap outlet stub. Adjust the length of “Z-pipe”
inserted into the grommet at the opposite side of the
furnace as necessary for proper fit and positioning. In
both upflow and downflow orientations, the “Z-pipe”
should NOT be resting on any sheet metal parts.
13. Secure the rubber elbow to the drain trap and the
“Z-pipe” with spring clamps.
14. Secure the grommet to the “Z-pipe” with the spring
clamp. The remaining drain line can be constructed from
field supplied 1/2--in. CPVC or 3/4--in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory-supplied
1/2--in. CPVC to 3/4--in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
15. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
16. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
17. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code-approved drain, or to a condensate pump approved
for use with acidic furnace condensate and compatible
with mineral and vegetable oils, such as canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
NOTICE
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap
grommet is ONLY REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT
APPLICATIONS. It is NOT required for applications
using single-pipe or ventilated combustion air venting.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: When installing the furnace
horizontally, use the entire drain elbow (that is, do NOT cut as
shown in Figure 16) to connect the trap to the drain line. This
helps to prevent bumps and shocks to the drain line from
damaging the furnace drain trap. Avoid misalignment of the
drain pipe which may cause kinks in the elbow.
Horizontal Orientation
1. The condensate trap outlet extends 2--in. (51 mm) below
the furnace casing. Leave enough clearance between
the furnace and the furnace platform for the trap.
2. To allow for servicing the trap, the condensate drain
elbow in the loose parts bag can be used to make a
coupler to allow for future service of the condensate trap
and drain line.
3. Remove the knock-out for the condensate trap in the
side of the casing.
4. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing if required for
direct vent applications. If necessary, remove the trap,
install the grommet and re-install the trap.
5. Remove the pre-formed rubber drain elbow, and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
6. Connect the full or modified elbow and/or grommet to the
outlet of the condensate trap with one spring clamp.
Avoid misalignment of the drain pipe which may cause
kinks in the elbow or grommet.
7. The remaining drain line can be constructed from
field--supplied 1/2--in. CPVC or 3/4--in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory--supplied
1/2--in. CPVC to 3/4--in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
8. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the elbow or
grommet on the outside the furnace casing.
9. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2--in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
10. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code--approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
