VII.INSTALLATION
A. GENERAL
1. INSTALLATION — Install this unit in accordance with The American National
Standard Z223.1-latest edition booklet entitled “National Fuel Gas Code,” and the
requirements or codes of the local utility or other authority having jurisdiction.
Additional helpful publications available from the “National Fire Protection
Association” are: NFPA-90A - Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating
Systems 1985 or latest edition. NFPA-90B - Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning
Systems 1984.
These publications are available from:
National Fire Protection Association, Inc.
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE: Remove wood shipping base before installing unit.
1. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK-POINTS — Before attempting any installation,
carefully consider the following points:
Structural strength of supporting members
(Rooftop Installation)
Clearances and provision for servicing
Power supply and wiring
Gas supply and piping
Air duct connections and sizing
Drain facilities and connections
Location for minimum noise and vibration
2. LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration in adverse envi-
ronmental conditions. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life. Salt
spray, fog or mist in seacoast areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems,
and various chemical contaminants from industries such as paper mills and petrole-
um refineries are especially corrosive.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a
problem, give special attention to the equipment location and exposure.
1. Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet.
2. In coastal areas locate the unit on the side of the building away from the water-
front.
3. Shielding by a fence or shrubs may give some protection.
4. Elevate the unit off its slab or base enough to allow air circulation and avoid hold-
ing water against the basepan.
!WARNING
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PER-
SONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE WILL REDUCE THE BUILDUP OF CONTAMINANTS
AND HELP TO PROTECT THE UNIT’S FINISH.

8
1. Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove
most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
2. Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with a good automobile polish will pro-
vide some protection.
3. Use a good liquid cleaner several times a year to remove matter that will not wash
off with water.
Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These coatings
may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials cannot be ver-
ified by the equipment manufacturer.
The best protection is frequent cleaning, maintenance and minimal exposure to
contaminants.
B. OUTSIDE INSTALLATION
(Typical outdoor slab installation is shown in Figure 2.)
1. Select a location where external water drainage cannot collect around unit.
2. Provide a slab sufficiently high enough above grade to prevent surface water from
entering the unit. Where snowfall is anticipated, mount the unit above the anticipat-
ed maximum snow depth for your area. The slab should be isolated from the foun-
dation wall.
3. Pitch the slab approximately 1⁄2” so that the unit will be pitched toward the drain. See
Figure 3.
4. The location of the unit should be such as to provide proper access for inspection
and servicing as shown in Figure 9.
!WARNING
THESE UNITS ARE DESIGNED CERTIFIED FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
ONLY. INSTALLATION INSIDE ANY PART OF A STRUCTURE CAN RESULT IN
INADEQUATE UNIT PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.
INSTALLATION INSIDE CAN ALSO CAUSE RECIRCULATION OF FLUE PROD-
UCTS INTO THE CONDITIONED SPACE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.

5. Locate unit where operating sounds will not disturb owner or neighbors.
6. Locate unit so roof runoff water does not pour directly on the unit. Provide gutter or
other shielding at roof level. Do not locate unit in an area where excessive snow
drifting may occur or accumulate.
7. Where snowfall is anticipated, the height of the unit above the ground level must be
considered. Mount unit high enough to be above average area snowfall and to allow
combustion air to enter the combustion air inlet.
C. ATTACHING EXHAUST AND COMBUSTION AIR INLET HOODS
IMPORTANT: Do not operate this unit without the exhaust and combustion air inlet
hood properly installed. These hoods are shipped in a carton in the return air compart-
ment inside the unit and must be attached when the unit is installed. See Figure 4.

F. ROOFTOP INSTALLATION
1. Before locating the unit on the roof, make sure that the roof structure is adequate to
support the weight involved. (See electrical & physical tables in this book for weight
of unit.) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY.
2. For rigging and roofcurb details, see Figures 14, 15, and 16.
3. The location of the unit on the roof should be such as to provide proper access for
inspection and servicing.
IMPORTANT: If unit will not be put into service immediately, block off supply and return
air openings to prevent excessive condensation.
G. DUCTWORK
The installing contractor should fabricate ductwork in accordance with local codes. Use
industry manuals as a guide when sizing and designing the duct system. Contact Air
Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
Place the unit as close to the conditioned space as possible allowing clearances as indi-
cated. Run ducts as directly as possible to supply and return outlets. Use of non-flam-
mable weatherproof flexible connectors on both supply and return connections at unit to
reduce noise transmission is recommended.
On ductwork exposed to outside temperature and humidity, use a minimum of 2” of
insulation and a vapor barrier. Distribution system in attic, furred space or crawl space
should be insulated with at least 2” of insulation. 1⁄2” to 1” thick insulation is usually suffi-
cient for ductwork inside the air conditioned space.
Provide balancing dampers for each branch duct in the supply system. Properly support
ductwork from the structure.
!WARNING
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT RETURN DUCTWORK TO
ANY OTHER HEAT PRODUCING DEVICE SUCH AS FIREPLACE INSERT,
STOVE, ETC. UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY RESULT IN FIRE,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
13

14
IMPORTANT: In the event that the return air ducts must be run through an “unconfined”
space containing other fuel burning equipment, it is imperative that the user/homeowner
must be informed against future changes in construction which might change this to a
“confined space.” Also, caution the user/homeowner against any future installation of
additional equipment (such as power ventilators, clothes dryers, etc., within the existing
unconfined and/or confined space which might create a negative pressure within the
vicinity of other solid, liquid, or gas fueled appliances.
H. RETURN AIR
II. FILTERS
The installer must install field supplied filters in the return air duct. A field installed filter
grille is recommended for easy and convenient access to the filters for periodic inspec-
tion and cleaning. Filters must have adequate face area for the rated air quantity of the
unit. See air delivery tables for recommended filter size. A field installed internal filter kit
RXRY-B01 is available.
!WARNING
NEVER ALLOW PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION OR THE FLUE PRODUCTS TO
ENTER THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK, OR THE CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY.
ALL RETURN DUCTWORK MUST BE ADEQUATELY SEALED AND SECURED
TO THE FURNACE WITH SHEET METAL SCREWS, AND JOINTS TAPED. ALL
OTHER DUCT JOINTS MUST BE SECURED WITH APPROVED CONNECTIONS
AND SEALED AIRTIGHT.
FAILURE TO PREVENT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM BEING CIRCU-
LATED INTO THE LIVING SPACE CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS, INCLUDING CAROBON MONOXIDE POISONING THAT COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

VIII. GAS SUPPLY, CONDENSATE DRAIN AND
VIII. PIPING
A. GAS CONNECTION
IMPORTANT: Connect this unit only to gas supplied by a commercial utility.
1. Install gas piping in accordance with local codes and regulations of the local utility
company. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the specifi-
cations of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
NOTE: The use of flexible gas connectors is not permitted.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the gas shut-off valve to be
a T-handle gas cock.
2. Connect the gas line to the gas pipe inlet opening provided into the 1/2” inlet valve.
See Figure 2 for typical piping.
3. Size the gas line to the furnace adequate enough to prevent undue pressure drop
and never less than 1/2”.
4. Install a drip leg or sediment trap in the gas supply line as close to the unit as possi-
ble.
5. Install an outside ground joint union to connect the gas supply to the control assem-
bly at the burner tray.
6. Gas valves have been factory installed. Install a manual gas valve where local codes
specify a shut-off valve outside the unit casing. (See Figure 19.)
7. Make sure piping is tight. A pipe compound resistant to the action of liquefied
petroleum gases must be used at all threaded pipe connections.
8. IMPORTANT: Any additions, changes or conversions required for the furnace to sat-
isfactorily meet the application should be made by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier, using factory-specified or approved parts. In the com-
monwealth of Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter for appropriate fuel.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the furnace and its individual shutoff valve from the gas sup-
ply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig or isolate the system from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of this gas supply system at pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS, USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION OR OTHER
APPROVED METHOD. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
IMPORTANT: Check the rating plate to make certain the appliance is equipped to burn
the type of gas supplied. Care should be taken after installation of this equipment that
the gas control valve not be subjected to high gas supply line pressure.
In making gas connections, avoid strains as they may cause noise and damage the con-
trols. A backup wrench is required to be used on the valve to avoid damage.
The capacities of gas pipe of different diameters and lengths in cu. ft. per hr. with pres-
sure drop of 0.5 in. and specific gravity of 0.60 (natural gas) are shown in Table 2.
After determining the pipe length, select the pipe size which will provide the minimum
cubic feet per hour required for the gas input rating of the furnace. By formula:
Gas Input of Furnace
(BTU/HR)
Cu. Ft. Per Hr. Required = Heating Value of Gas
(BTU/FT3)
The gas input of the furnace is marked on the furnace rating plate. The heating value of
the gas (BTU/FT3) may be determined by consulting the local natural gas utility or the
L.P. gas supplier.
B. LP CONVERSION
Convert the valve to use liquefied petroleum (LP) gas by replacing the pressure regulator
spring with the conversion kit spring. This LP kit spring allows the regulator to maintain the
proper manifold pressure for LP gas. The correct burner LP orifices are included in the kit.
See Figure 20.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion kit from the furnace manufacturer.
See
Conversion Kit Index shipped with unit for proper LP kit number. Furnace conver-
sion to LP gas must be performed by a qualified technician.
!WARNING
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. THE USE OF AN OPEN
FLAME CAN RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
!WARNING
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED AT THE FACTORY FOR USE ON NATURAL GAS ONLY.
CONVERSION TO LP GAS REQUIRES A SPECIAL KIT SUPPLIED BY THE DIS-
TRIBUTOR OR MANUFACTURER. MAILING ADDRESSES ARE LISTED ON THE

D. ADJUSTING OR CHECKING FURNACE INPUT
– Natural Gas Line Pressure 5” - 10.5” W.C.
– LP Gas Line Pressure 11” - 13” W.C.
– Natural Gas Manifold Pressure 3.5” W.C
– LP Gas Manifold Pressure - 10” W.C.
Supply and manifold pressure taps are located on the gas valve body 1/8” N.P.T.
Use a properly calibrated manometer gauge for accurate gas pressure readings.
Only small variations in the gas flow should be made by means of the pressure regulator
adjustment. Furnaces functioning on LP gas must be set by means of the tank or branch
supply regulators. The furnace manifold pressure should be set at 10” W.C. at the gas con-
trol valve.
To adjust the pressure regulator, remove the regulator cap and turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Then replace
the regulator cap securely.
Any necessary major changes in the gas flow rate should be made by changing the size of
the burner orifices. To change orifice spuds, shut off the manual main gas valve and
remove the gas manifold.
For elevations up to 2,000 feet, rating plate input ratings apply. For high altitudes (elevations
over 2,000 ft.), see conversion kit index 92-21519-XX for derating and orifice spud sizes.
Check of input is important to prevent over-firing of the furnace beyond its design-
rated input. NEVER SET INPUT ABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE. Use
the following table or formula to determine input rate.

C. NOx MODELS
When converting units equipped with NOx inserts to LP gas, the stainless steel mesh
inserts in the entrance of the tubular exchangers are not required to meet SCAQMD NOx
emission levels. Carefully remove these inserts before firing this furnace on LP gas. This
furnace is not designed to operate on LP gas with the NOx inserts in place.
Step by step instructions on removing the NOx inserts and retaining rod are included in the
Conversion Kit Installation Instructions.

Start the furnace and measure the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas. Prior to
checking the furnace input, make certain that all other gas appliances are shut off, with
the exception of pilot burners. Time the meter with only the furnace in operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALTITUDES ABOVE 2,000 FEET (610 METERS): The main
burner orifices in your furnace and in these kits are sized for the nameplate input and
intended for installations at elevations up to 2,000 feet in the USA or Canada, or for ele-
vations of 2,000 - 4,500 feet (610 -1,373 meters) in Canada if the unit has been derated
at the factory. For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 meters) IN THE USA ONLY (see
ANSI-Z223.1), the burner orifices must be sized to reduce the input 4% for each 1,000
feet (305 meters) above sea level.
NOTICE: DERATING OF THE HEATING INPUT FOR HIGH ALTITUDE IN THE FIELD
IS UNLAWFUL IN CANADA (REFER TO CAN/CGA 2.17). UNITS INSTALLED IN
ALTITUDES GREATER THAN 2,000 FEET (610 METERS) MUST BE SHIPPED FROM
THE FACTORY OR FROM A FACTORY AUTHORIZED CONVERSION STATION
WITH THE HEATING INPUT DERATED BY 10% SO AS TO OPERATE PROPERLY IN
ALTITUDES FROM 2,000 - 4,500 FEET (610 - 1,373 METERS).
E.CONDENSATE DRAIN
The evaporator coil condensate drain ends with a threaded 3/4” nominal PVC stub. A
trap is built in for proper condensate drainage and to prevent debris from being drawn
into the unit. Do not connect the drain to a closed sewer line. Connection to a vented
sewer line is allowed. It is recommended that a PVC cement not be used so that the
drain line can be easily cleaned in the future.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL AN EXTERNAL TRAP. DOING SO CAN CAUSE
IMPROPER DRAINAGE OF THE CONDENSATE AND RESULT IN FLOODING WITH-
IN THE UNIT.

1. All wiring should be made in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Consult the local power company to determine the availability of sufficient power to
operate the unit. Check the voltage at power supply to make sure it corresponds to
the unit’s RATED VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT. Install a branch circuit disconnect
near the rooftop, in accordance with the N.E.C., C.E.C. or local codes.
2. It is important that proper electrical power is available at the unit. Voltage should not
vary more than 10% from that stamped on the unit nameplate. On three phase units,
phases must be balanced within 3%.
3. For branch circuit wiring (main power supply to unit disconnect), the minimum wire size
for the length of run can be determined from Table 4 using the circuit ampacity found on
the unit rating plate. Use the smallest wire size allowable in Table 4 from the unit dis-
connect to unit. The disconnect must be in sight and readily accessible of the unit.
NOTES:
1. Wire size based on 60°C rated wire insulation and 30°C Ambient Temp. (86°F).
2. For more than 3 conductors in a raceway or cable, see the N.E.C. for derating the
ampacity of each conductor.
When installed, the unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, if an external electrical source is utilized.
