ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Improper installation or service of furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Follow the Electrostatic Discharge
Precautions Procedure listed below 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 discon-
nects 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. Firmly
touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the fur-
nace 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 noth-
ing to recharge your body with static electricity (for ex-
ample; 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, un-
painted metal surface of the furnace again before
touching control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (un-
grounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-
charge 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 fur-
nace. Put all used and new controls into containers be-
fore touching ungrounded objects.

!WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause
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.

Indoor Combustion Air −NFPA & AGA
Standard and Known−Air−Infiltration Rate Methods
Indoor air is permitted for combustion, ventilation, and
dilution, if the Standard or Known−Air−Infiltration Method is
used.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death
and/or personal injury.
Many homes require air to be supplied from outdoors
for furnace combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue
gases. The furnace combustion air supply must be
provided in accordance with this instruction manual.
!WARNING
The 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 ap-
pliances 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 3 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 3 −Minimum Space Volumes were determined by
using the following equations from the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1−2012/NFPA 54−2012, 9.3.2.2:
1. For other than fan−assisted appliances, such as a
draft hood−equipped water heater:

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 opening
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” (300 mm) of the
ceiling and the second opening shall commence with-
in 12” (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 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 Meth-
od, infiltration should be adequate to provide air for
combustion, 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 include
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between wall−ceiling 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 Combus-
tion 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 divided
by required volume for Indoor Combustion Air Meth-
od below.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING 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.
!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 noncombustible 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 mm 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 two screws holding
bottom filler panel. (See Figure 9)

13
441 01 6100 01 Specifications are subject to change without notice.

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).
FILTER ARRANGEMENT
CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or with filter
access door removed.
!WARNING
There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these
furnaces.
A field−supplied accessory external filter is required.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the external filter rack
for assembly and installation options.
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 airstream. 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 degrees 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.

If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance
connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not
use a connector which has previously served another
gas appliance. Black iron pipe shall be installed at the
furnace gas control valve and extend a minimum of 2
in.(51 mm) outside the furnace.
!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. (2 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.
An accessible manual equipment shutoff valve MUST be
installed external to furnace casing and within 6 ft. (2 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 control 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 18)
Install a sediment trap in riser leading to furnace as shown in
Figure 19. Connect a capped nipple into lower end of tee.
Capped nipple should extend below level of furnace gas
