ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge your body’s static electricity before touch-
ing unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect elec-
trical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from dam-
age. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at
the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid
exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic dis-
charge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and
non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to
the control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
6
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e.,
do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded
object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or
new controls to their containers before touching any
ungrounded object.
TOTHE INSTALLER
Before installing this unit, please read this manual thoroughly
to familiarize yourself with specific items which must be ad-
hered to, including but not limited to: unit maximum external

ESCRIPTION
FEATURES
This furnace is a part of the ComfortNet™ family of products.
The CTK family of thermostat kits allow this furnace to be
installed as part of a digitally communicating system. The
ComfortNet system provides advanced airflow configuration,
enhanced setup features, and enhanced diagnostics. It also
reduces the number of thermostat wires to a maximum of
four. It may be also installed as part of a non-communicating
system using a standard 24 VAC thermostat.
This product may be installed with the ComfortNet thermo-
stat and a non-ComfortNet compatible single stage air condi-
tioning unit. However, this reduces the benefits of the
ComfortNet system as the enhancements will only apply to
the furnace.
The modulating furnace operation is based off of nega-
tive pressure created by the draft inducer. The furnace
control board receives commands from the room ther-
mostat. The furnace control board then controls the RPM
of the (3 phase) inducer by varying the frequency and
voltage to the inducer. This is known as variable fre-
quency drive (VFD). The inducer, pressure switches, and
gas valve are linked by pneumatic tubing. The gas valve
modulates based on this negative pressure.

WARNING
• Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the
proposed or existing air distribution system.
• Ensure the temperature of the return air entering
the furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the
furnace is heating.
• Provide provisions for venting combustion products
outdoors through a proper venting system. Special
consideration should be given to vent/flue pipe
routing and combustion air intake pipe when
applicable. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion
Air Pipe -Termination Locations for appropriate
termination locations and to determine if the
piping system from furnace to termination can be
accomplished within the guidelines given. NOTE:
The length of flue and/or combustion air piping
can be a limiting factor in the location of the
furnace.
• Locate the furnace so condensate flows
downwards to the drain. Do not locate the
furnace or its condensate drainage system in any
area subject to below freezing temperatures
without proper freeze protection. Refer to
Condensate Drain Lines and Trap for further
details.
• Ensure adequate combustion air is available for
the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion
air can expose building occupants to gas
combustion products that could include carbon
monoxide. Refer to Combustion and Ventilation
Air Requirements.
• Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper
condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet
or damp at times, place the furnace above the
floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-
1/2" larger than the base of the furnace. Refer
to the Horizontal Applications and Considerations
for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
• Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not
installed directly on carpeting, or any other
combustible material. The only combustible
material allowed is wood.
• A special accessory subbase must be used for
upright counterflow unit installations over any
combustible material (including wood). Refer to
subbase instructions for installation details.
(NOTE: A subbase will not be required if an air
conditioning coil is located beneath the furnace
between the supply air opening and the combustible
floor.
• Exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance-related
9
problems. Do not install the furnace where the
combustion air is exposed to the following
substances:
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
water softening chemicals
deicing salts or chemicals
carbon tetrachloride
halogen type refrigerants
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inks
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
masonry acid washing materials
• Isolate a non-direct furnace from an area
contaminated by any of the above substances.
This protects the non-direct vent furnace from
airborne contaminants. To ensure that the
enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an
adequate supply of combustion air, air must be
ducted in from a nearby uncontaminated room
or from outdoors. Refer to the Combustion and
Ventilation Air Requirements for details.
• If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling
unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel
with the cooling coil. Premature heat exchanger
failure will result if the cooling coil is placed
upstream of the furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications,
the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less
than furnace width minus 1”. Additionally, a
coil installed above an upflow furnace or under
a counterflow furnace may be the same width
as the furnace or may be one size larger than
the furnace. Example: a “C” width coil may be
installed with a “B” width furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil
and furnace must face the same direction.
• If the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
position the furnace so that the burners and
ignition source are located not less than 18
inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the
furnace from physical damage by vehicles.
• If the furnace is installed horizontally, ensure
the access doors are not on the “up/top” or
“down/bottom” side of the furnace.
• Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue
that serves a separate appliance designed to
burn solid fuel.
• On Counterflow Installations, the air
conditioning coil must be downstream on the
supply (positive) side of the furnace heat
exchanger.
•Counterflow Installation over a noncombustible
floor. Before setting the furnace over the plenum
opening, ensure the surface around the opening
is smooth and level. A tight seal should be made
between the furnace base and floor by using a
silicone rubber caulking compound or cement
grout.
•CounterflowInstallation overa combustible floor.
If installation over a combustible floor becomes
necessary, use an accessory subbase (see
Specification Sheet applicable for your model for
details.) A special accessory subbase must be used
for upright counterflow unit installations over any
combustible material including wood. Refer to
subbase instructions for installation details. Follow
the instructions with the subbase for proper
installation. Do not install the furnace directly on
carpeting, tile, or other combustible material
other than wood flooring. (NOTE: The subbase will
not be required if an air conditioning coil is installed
between the supply air opening on the furnace and
the floor.)

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting
system serving other appliances, the venting system may be
too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from
the American National Standard/National Standard of
Canada for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.4, CSA-
2.3 latest edition Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance
connected to the venting system placed in operation, while
any other appliances connected to the venting system are
not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and hori-
zontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installa-
tion Code, CSA B149.1-15 and these instructions. De-
termine that there is no blockage or restriction, leak-
age, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause
an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and win-
dows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are lo-
cated and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected
to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall
operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance be-
ing inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appli-
ance shall operate continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood appliances at the draft
hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner op-
eration. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accor-
dance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 and/or National Gas and Propane Installation
Code CSA B149.1-15.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance con-
nected to the venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, ex-
haust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burn-
ing appliance to their previous conditions of use.
If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system,
use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or
CSA B149.1-15 Installation Codes.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The thermostat should be placed approximately five feet
from the floor on a vibration-free, inside wall in an area
having good air circulation. Do not install the thermostat
where it may be influenced by any of the following:
• Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or
under cabinets.
• Hot or cold air from registers.
• Radiant heat from the sun.
• Light fixtures or other appliances.
• Radiant heat from a fireplace.
• Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.
• Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such
as an outside wall.

WARNING
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings
have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and es-
cape around doors and windows. These changes have helped
in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a prob-
lem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired
and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air
11
)
(
)(
out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.)
increase the problem by starving appliances of air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper
combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing build-
ing occupants to gas combustion products that could include
carbon monoxide.
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe sys-
tem) furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion
are required. However, if this furnace is to be installed in
the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water
heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion
and ventilation air for the other appliances. Refer to the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15 Installation Codes or appli-
cable provisions of the local building codes for determining
the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the fur-
nace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connect-
ing directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors
such as attics or crawl spaces.
The following information on air for combustion and ventilation
is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA54/ANSI
Z223.1 Section 9.3.

FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8"
threaded rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown in the fol-
lowing diagram. The length of rod will depend on the applica-
tion and the clearances necessary.

FRONT COVER PRESSURE SWITCH TUBE LOCATION
When a furnace is installed horizontally with left side down,
the front cover pressure switch tube must be re-located
to the lower port of the collector box cover.
1. Remove tube from front cover pressure switch and
collector box cover.
2. Remove rubber plug from bottom collector box port
and install on top collector box port.
3. Locate 24” x 1/4” tube in bag assembly.
4. Install one end on front cover pressure switch.
5. Route tube to lower port on collector box cover and
cut off excess tubing.
DRAIN TRAP AND LINES
In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is se-
cured to the furnace side panel, suspending it below the fur-
nace. A minimum clearance of 5 1/2 inches below the fur-
nace must be provided for the drain trap. Additionally, the
appropriate downward piping slope must be maintained from
the drain trap to the drain location. Refer to Condensate Drain
Trap and Lines for further details. If the drain trap and drain
line will be exposed to temperatures near or below freezing,
adequate measures must be taken to prevent condensate from
freezing.
15
LEVELING
Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat
exchanger. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must
be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should
have a slight tilt from back to front with the access doors
downhill from the back panel approximately 1/2 to 3/4
inches. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate,
generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the
recuperator coil front cover.
ALTERNATE ELECTRICAL AND GAS LINE CONNECTIONS
This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line
connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications
the connections can be made either through the “top” or “bot-
tom” of the furnace.
DRAIN PAN
A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above
a conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area
under the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).

efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products
of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation
takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature
and water condensation requirements, PVC or ABS pipe is typi-
cally used as venting and intake pipe materials. In Canada
ABS is not an approved vent pipe material but it is permissable
to use as combustion air pipe material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue®by
Centrotherm Eco Systems and PolyPro®by M&G Duravent
are also approved vent and combustion air materials for
installations in the U.S.A. and Canada. Manufacturers In-
stallation instructions for these products must be followed.
These products have specific instructions for installing,
joining and terminating. Do not mix materials or compo-
nents of one manufacturer with materials or components of
another manufacturer.
All furnaces are manufactured with 2" vent / intake pipe and
connectors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe,
the transition from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the
furnace as practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent
or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of
a factory built or masonry chimney except when used as a
pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never
common vent this appliance with another appliance or use a
vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufactur-
ers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and
connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Addition-
ally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping
and connections possess adequate structural integrity and sup-
port to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during
furnace operation.

MATERIALS AND JOINING METHODS
Two- or three-inch nominal diameter PVC Schedule 40 pipe meet-
ing ASTM D1785, PVC primer meeting ASTM F656, and PVC sol-
vent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used.
Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and
ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the pipe manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing of PVC.
The use of Schedule 40 PVC cellular core DWV meeting ASTM
F891-1 or ABS cellular core (Foam Core) plastic pipe is also
acceptable as a flue/vent and intake pipe material. PVC primer
meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement meeting ASTM
D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type
fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully fol-
low the manufactures instructions for cutting, cleaning and sol-
vent cementing of PVC.
For Canadian installations; all PVC pipe, fittings and joining
materials must be UL S636 listed.
NOTE: Requirement does not apply to the combustion air
pipe.
As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement, and
fittings, ABS materials which are in compliance with the
following specifications may be used: Two-or-three-inch solid
wall ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if
used in Canada, must be CSA listed or, two-or-three-inch
cellular core ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM F628
and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. Solvent cement
for ABS to ABS joints must meet ASTM D2235 and, if used in
Canada, must be CSA listed. The solvent cement for the
PVC to ABS transition joint must meet ASTM D3138. Fittings
must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2661 and ASTM
D3311 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. Carefully
follow the manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, clean-
ing, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
All 90° elbows must be medium radius (1/4 bend DWV) or long
radius (Long sweep 1/4 bend DWV) types conforming to ASTM
D3311. A medium radius (1/4 bend DWV) elbow measures 3 1/
16” minimum from the plane of one opening to the centerline of
the other opening for 2” diameter pipe, and 4 9/16” minimum
for 3” pipe.
The use of two short radius 45 degree elbows is permit-
ted to provide clearance to refrigerant piping above the
furnace.
PROPER VENT/FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING PRACTICES
Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper fur-
nace performance. The length, diameter, and number of el-
bows of the vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when
applicable) affects the performance of the furnace and must
be carefully sized. All piping must be installed in accordance
with local codes and these instructions.
Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit
sagging, joint separation, and/or detachment from the fur-
nace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue and combustion air pip-
ing must be properly supported. PVC pipe supports must be
no more than 5' apart. For ABS pipe, supports must be no
more than 3' apart. Horizontal pipe runs must maintain a
1/4 inch per foot downward slope, back towards the furnace,
to properly return condensate to the furnace’s drain system.

Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freez-
ing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe
termination. All vent/flue piping exposed to temperatures
below 35°F for extended periods of time must be insulated
with 1/2” thick closed cell foam. Also, all vent/flue piping
exposed outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this
manual (or in unheated areas) must be insulated with 1/2”
thick closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to in-
stalling insulation.
TERMINATION LOCATIONS
NOTE: Refer to LocationRequirements andConsiderationsfor
combustion air contaminant restrictions.
The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions
concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and com-
bustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer
to Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual
Pipe) Piping located in this section for specific details on ter-
mination construction.
• All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located
at least 12 inches above ground level or the
anticipated snow level.
• Vent terminations (non-direct and direct vent) must
terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet
located within 10 feet.
NOTE: This provision does not apply to the
combustion air intake termination of a direct vent
application.
• The vent termination of a direct vent application must
terminate at least 12 inches from any opening through
which flue gases may enter a building (door, window,
or gravity air inlet).
• The vent termination running vertically through a
roof must terminate at least 12 inches above the
roof line (or the anticipated snow level) and be at
least 12 inches from any vertical wall (including any
anticipated snow build up).
• A vent termination shall not terminate over public
walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor
could create a nuisance or hazard or could be
detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief
valves, or other equipment.
• The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent
application should not terminate in an area which is
frequently dusty or dirty.
NOTE: In Canada, the current edition of CAN/CSA B149.1-
15 takes precedence over the preceding termination
restriction.
CANADIAN VENT PIPE & COMBUSTION AIR PIPE REQUIREMENTS
All installations in Canada must conform to the requirements
of CAN/CSA B149.1 -15 code. All vent components, including
primer and cement, must be listed to ULC S636. The certi-
fied pipe and fittings should be clearly marked with the ULC
standard “S636”. The primer and cement used must be of
the same manufacturer as the vent system. For Royal Pipe
System 636; use GVS-65 Primer (Purple) and GVS-65 PVC Sol-
vent Cement. For IPEX System 636, use PVC/CPVC Primer,
Purple or clear. Use PVC Solvent Cement (Gray).
For Canadian installations, ABS may be used as a combus-
tion air pipe only. ABS is not an approved vent material in
Canada. If ABS is used as a combustion air pipe, it must
be CSA certified. Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions in the use of primer and cement. Do not use primer
and cement around potential sources of ignition. Do not use
primer or cement beyond its expiration date.
The safe operation, as defined by ULC S636, of the vent
system is based on following these installation instruc-
tions, the vent system manufacturer’s installation instruc-
tions, and proper use of primer and cement. It is recom-
mended under this standard, that the vent system be
checked once a year by qualified service personnel. All
fire stops and roof flashings used with this system must
be UL listed. Acceptability under CAN/CSA B149.1-15 is
dependent upon full compliance with all installation in-
structions. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (gas
inspection authority, municipal building department, fire
department, etc.) before installation to determine the need
to obtain a permit. *IPEX System 636™ is a trademark of
IPEX Inc.
Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting,
cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney pro-
vided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insu-
lated and closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flash-
ing.

STANDARD FURNACE CONNECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the pip-
ing connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and ad-
equately supported.
VENT PIPE CONNECTION
The vent pipe outlet is sized to accept 2” pipe. Secure
vent/flue pipe directly into the furnace fitting with the
appropriate glue. Alternately, a small section of 2" pipe
may be glued in the furnace socket and a rubber coupling
installed to allow removal for future service. Combustion
Air and Vent piping should be routed in a manner to avoid
contact with refrigerant lines, metering devices, condensate
drain lines, etc. If necessary, clearances may be increased
by creating an offset using two 45 degree elbows. This
joint can be rotated on the fitting to establish maximum
clearance between refrigerant lines, metering devices, and
condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is the equivalent of
one 90 deg. elbow when considering elbow count.

COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the
air intake coupling by using a take apart rubber coupling
supplied with the furnace or a plastic coupling. Also, the
intake coupling may be inverted to allow the intake pipe
to be glued directly to it. After inverting the coupling,
secure it to the furnace top with screws. On counterflow
units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake
coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps
provided with the unit. The counterflow rubber coupling al-
lows service removal of air intake piping internal to the fur-
nace blower compartment. The combustion air intake pipe
can also be secured directly to the counterflow unit air intake
pipe coupling.
COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE OPTIONS: The RF000142 coupling
can be secured directly to the furnace intake coupling if
condensation is a concern. If the RF000142 is used on the
combustion air inlet, it must be installed with the arrow
pointing up. It should be noted, the combustion air will
actually be moving in a direction opposite of the arrow on
the RF000142 coupling. It must have a field supplied,
trapped drain tube free-draining to proper condensate dis-
posal location. A loop in the drain tube can serve as a
trap. The unused RF000142 drain fitting should be capped.
A tee installed in the intake pipe is also an acceptable method
of catching condensation. It must have a field supplied,
trapped drain tube or pipe, free-draining to proper conden-
sate disposal location. A loop in the drain tube can serve as
a trap.
NON-DIRECTVENTINSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combus-
tion air intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent block-
age.

nate vent/flue location on an upflow / horizontal model,
refer to the following steps and the “Alternate Vent/Flue Lo-
cation” figure. This feature is not currently available on
counterflow models.
NOTE: In the horizontal left installation position, a means
of condensate collection must be provided to keep vent
pipe condensate from entering the draft inducer housing.
If the vent-drain elbow is eliminated from the installation;
an RF000142 kit must be used.
