FURNACE AREA. |
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have
reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around
doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing
heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying
combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other fuel burning
appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes
dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by
starving appliances for air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper
combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building
occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon
monoxide.
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 (Section 5.3), or CANICSA B149 Installation Codes
(Sections 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4), or applicable provisions of the local
building codes for determining the combustion air requirements
for the appliances.
This furnace must use indoor air for combustion. It cannot be
installed as a direct vent (i.e., sealed combustion) furnace.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace
area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting 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 NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1 Section 5.3.
5.3.1 General:
(a) The provisions of 5.3 apply to gas utilization equipment
installed in buildings and which require air for combustion,
ventilation and dilution of flue gases from within the building.
They do not apply to (1) direct vent equipment which is
constructed and installed so that all air for combustion is
obtained from the outside atmosphere and all flue gases
are discharged to the outside atmosphere, or (2) enclosed
furnaces which incorporate an integral total enclosure and
use only outside air for combustion and dilution of flue
gases.
(b) Equipment shall be installed in a location in which the
facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of
gas, proper venting and the maintenance of ambient
temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use.
Equipment shall be located so as not to interfere with
proper circulation of air. When normal infiltration does not
provide the necessary air, outside air shall be introduced.
(c) In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall
be provided as required for: cooling of equipment or
material, controlling dew point, heating, drying, oxidation
or dilution, safety exhaust, odor control, and air for
compressors.
(d) In additionto air neededfor combustion,air shallbe
suppliedforventilation,includingallairrequiredforcomfort
andproperworkingconditionsforpersonnel.
(e)Whileallformsofbuildingconstructioncannotbecovered
indetail,air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue
gases for gas utilization equipment vented by natural draft
normally may be obtained by application of one of the
methods covered in 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.
(f) Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen
ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be
considered in determining the adequacy of a space to
provide combustion air requirements.
5.3.2 Equipment Located in Unconfined Spaces:
In unconfined spaces (see definition below) in buildings,
infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion
ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings
of tight construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily
insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional air may
need to be provided using the methods described in 5.3.3-
b or 5.3.4.
Space, Unconfined.
For purposes of this Code, a space whose volume is not
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
unconfined space.
5.3.3 Equipment Located in Confined Spaces:
(a) All Air from Inside the Building: The confined space shall
be provided with two permanent openings communicating
directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so
that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria
for an unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization
equipment installed in the combined space shall be
considered in making this determination. Each opening
shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000
BTU per hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization
equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100
square inches. One opening shall be within 12 inches of
the top and one within 12 inches of the bottom of the

5.3.4 Specially Engineered Installations:
The requirements of 5.3.3 shall not necessarily govern when
special engineering, approved by the authority having
jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion,
ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.
5.3.5 Louvers and Grilles:
In calculating free area in 5.3.3, consideration shall be given
to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or screens protecting
openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch
mesh. If the area through a design of louver or grille is known,
it should be used in calculating the size of opening required
to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area
is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will
have 60-75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be
fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment
so that they are opened automatically during equipment
operation.
5.3.6 Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or
Fireplaces:
Operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers,
or fireplaces may create conditions requiring special attention
to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed gas utilization
equipment.
Vl. CATEGORY I VENTING (VERTICAL VENTING)
I AWARN'NG
To PREVENT POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ASPHYXIATION,
THIS FURNACE MUST BE CATEGORY I VENTED. Do NOT VENT USING
CATEGORYIII VENTING.
Category I Venting is venting at a non-positive pressure. A furnace
vented as Category I is considered a fan-assisted appliance and
the vent system does not have to be "gas tight." NOTE: Single
stage gas furnaces with induced draft blowers draw products of
combustion through a heat exchanger allowing, in some instances,
common venting with natural draft appliances (i.e. water heaters).
All installations must be vented in accordance with National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. In Canada, the
furnaces must be vented in accordance with the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 -latest editions
and amendments.
NOTE: The vertical height of the Category I venting system must
be at least as great as the horizontal length of the venting system.

VII. EXTERIOR MASONRY CHIMNEYS -
CATEGORYI FURNACES ONLY
An exterior masonry chimney is defined as a "Masonry chimney
exposed to the outdoors on one or more sides below the roof
line." The ability to use a clay lined masonry chimney depends
on a parameter not associated with interior chimneys. This
variable is the geographic location of the installation.
Researchers have discovered that the winter design
temperatures have a direct impact on the suitability of this type of
venting. In most situations, the existing masonry chimneys will
require a properly sized metallic liner.

CHECKLIST SUMMARY
This checklist serves as a summary of the items to be checked
before venting an 80+ furnace into a masonry chimney. In addition,
we recommend that a qualified serviceman use this checklist to
perform a yearly inspection of the furnace venting system.
This checklist is only a summary. For detailed information on
each of the procedures mentioned, see the paragraph referenced
with each item.
This inspection is based upon a draft topical report, "Masonry
Chimney inspection and Relining", issued by the Gas Research
Institute. While not yet finalized, we believe this report represents
the best information on this subject which is currently available.

CHECK 1-PROPER CHIMNEY TERMINATION.
A masonry chimney used as a vent for gas fired equipment must
extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes
through the roof. It must extend at least two feet higher than any
portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet. In
addition, the chimney must terminate at least 3 feet above any
forced air inlet located within 10 feet. The chimney must extend at
least five feet above the highest connected equipment draft hood
outlet or flue collar.
If the chimney does not meet these termination requirements, but
all other requirements in the checklist can be met, it may be
possible for a mason to extend the chimney. If this will not be
practical, see Fix 1.

CHECK2 -ANY SOLID OR LIQUID FUEL APPLIANCES VENTED INTO
THIS CHIMNEY CHANNEL
Solid fuel appliances include fireplaces, wood stoves, coal
furnaces, and incinerators.
Liquid fuel appliances include oil furnaces, oil-fired boilers and
oil-fired water heaters.
Appliances which burn propane (sometimes referred to as LP
(liquefied petroleum)) gas are considered gas-fired appliances.
CHECK3- CHIMNEY CROWN CONDITION.
Damage from condensate usually shows up first in the crown. If
any of the following trouble signs are present, the condition of the
crown is not satisfactory:
a) Crown leaning
b) Bricks missing
12
c) Mortar missing
d) Tile liner cracked
e) No tile liner
f) Salt staining at mortar joints. (White stains, and mortar
becomes sandy and/or erodes.)
For problems a, b, or c, see Fix 3. If problems d, e, or f are
present, see Fix 4. IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to follow
both Fix 3 and Fix 4.
CHECK4 - DEBRIS IN CLEANOUT
A cleanout (dropleg) must be present such that the upper edge
of the cleanout cover is at least 12 inches below the lower edge
of the lowest chimney inlet opening.
A chimney without a cleanout could become partially blocked by
debris. If no cleanout is present, the chimney must be refined
(Fix 4). Remove the cleanout cover, and examine the cleanout for
debris. If significant amounts of any of the following are found:
Fuel oil residue
• Bricks
Mortar or sand
Pieces of the tile liner
Rusted pieces of the metallic liner - reline the chimney
(Fix4).
CHECK 5 -LINER CONDITION.
If a metal liner is present, it must be checked. It cannot be
assumed that all existing metal liners are correctly installed and
in good condition.
Remove the lowest existing vent connector, and examine the
inside of the elbow or tee at the base of the liner. A small amount
of soot may be considered acceptable, provided the installer
vacuums it away. If rusted pieces of the liner have collected here,
the metal liner must be removed and replaced (Fix 4).
Next, gently tap the inside of the liner with a Phillips screwdriver.
If the screwdriver perforates the liner, or if the tapping does not
sound like metal hitting metal, the liner must be removed and
replaced (Fix 4).
Remember that all appliances must be vented inside the liner.
Venting one appliance inside the liner and another appliance
outside the liner is not acceptable.
Next, use a flashlight and small mirror to sight up the liner. B vent
must be supported so as to not come into direct contact with the
chimney walls or tile liner. If it is not, it can probably be rehung so
as to be acceptable. A thimble or fire stop may be helpful here.
Flexible liners should be hung straight or nearly straight. If it is
spiraled in the chimney and in good condition, it should be
rehung. To do this, break the top seal; pull up and cut off the
excess liner length, and refit the top seal. Use caution when
doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp.
The surfaces of the liner must be physically sound. If gaps or
holes are present, the metal liner must be removed and replaced
(Fix 4). Finally, confirm that the metal liner is the correct size for
the appliances to be installed. Use the GAMA tables and rules.
If a metal liner is not present, a clay tile liner must be present, or
the chimney must be lined (Fix 4).
Use a flashlight and small mirror at the cleanout or vent connector
to inspect the clay tile liner. If any of the following problems are
present:
• Tile sections misaligned
• Tile sections missing
Gaps between tile sections
Signs of condensate drainage at the cleanout or vent
connectors
Mortar protruding from between tile sections
Use of sewer pipe or drainage pipe rather than an
approved fire clay tile reline the chimney (Fix 4).
Next, measure the size of the liner. It may be possible to do this
from the cleanout. The liner must be at least as large as the
minimum size established by the tables in National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 -
latest editions and amendments. If the liner is too small or too
large, then the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
CHECK 6-DILUTION AIR.
If gas-fired appliances are to be vented into a clay tile liner, a
source of dilution air is required.
Dilution air cannot be obtained through:
• Induced draft appliances
• Natural draft appliances with vent dampers
Sufficient dilution air can ordinarily be obtained through the draft
hood of a natural draft appliance only if the appliance's vent
connector does not include a vent damper. If dilution air will not
be available, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
CHECK7-COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
If Checks 1 through 6 have been satisfactory, and the liner is an
acceptable size as determined by the tables in National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 -
latest editions and amendments, then the clay tile liner can
probably be used as a vent for the gas appliances. However, the
installer must keep in mind the following factors which may
render the tile liner unsuitable for use as a vent:
• Extremely cold weather
• Long vent connectors
Masonry chimneys with no air gap between the liner and
the bricks. (In practice, this can be difficult to detect.)
Exterior chimneys (The tables in National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CANiCSA
B149.2 - latest editions and amendments assume interior
chimneys.)
If, in the judgment of the local gas utility, installer, and/or local
codes; one or more of the above factors is likely to present a
problem, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
FIX 1-LINER TERMINATION
Any cap or roof assembly used with a liner must be approved by
the liner manufacturer for such use. The liner and caplroof
assembly must then terminate above the roof in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
In some cases, a shorter extension above the roof may be
possible with a liner than would be required with a masonry
chimney.
For further information on relining, see Fix 4.
13
FIx 2 -CHANGE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS
If the masonry chimney has more than one channel, it may be
possible to vent the gas appliances into one channel and vent
the solid or liquid fuel appliance(s) into another channel(s). Do
not vent an 80+ Furnace inside of a metal liner with other
appliances vented outside the liner.
Alternatively, the homeowner may agree to discontinue use of
the fireplace (solid fuel appliance). If so, the tile liner must be
cleaned to remove creosote buildup. The fireplace opening must
then be permanently sealed.
If oil-fired appliance(s) are being replaced by gas-fired
appliance(s), the tile liner must first be cleaned to remove the
fuel oil residue.
If none of the above options is practical, the 80% furnace may
need to be vented vertically with a B Vent.
Under some conditions, a 90%+ furnace could be installed rather
than an 80% furnace. A 90%+ furnace can be vented horizontally
or vertically through PVC pipe.
FIX 3- REBUILD THE CROWN
If the chimney crown is damaged, a qualified mason must repair
it in accordance with nationally recognized building codes or
standards. One such standard which may be referenced is the
Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 211.
Fix 4-RELINING
Relining options include B vent and flexible liners.
If the chimney has diagonal offsets, B vent probably cannot be
used.
If B vent is to be used, it must be supported adequately. Supports
(such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to prevent the B
vent from coming into direct contact with the tile liner or chimney
walls. Direct contact would result in higher heat loss, with an
increased possibility of poor venting system performance.
It is not acceptable to vent one appliance inside the B vent and
other appliances outside. The excess space between the B vent
and the chimney walls must be covered at the top of the chimney
by a weatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.
The B vent should then be topped with a listed vent cap. The
listed vent cap will, when installed per the manufacturer's
instructions, prevent problems due to rain, birds, or wind effects.
A B-vent installed as described in this section is considered to
be an enclosed vent system, and the sizing tables in National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the
National Standard of Canada, CANiCSA B149.1 and CANiCSA
B149.2 - latest editions and amendments may be used.
If a flexible liner is to be used, it must be made of the proper
materials:
• For most residential applications, an aluminum liner
should be acceptable.
If the combustion air supplied to the furnace will be
contaminated with compounds containing chlorine or
fluorine, a liner of AL 29-4C stainless steel should be
used. Common sources of chlorine and fluorine
compounds include indoor swimming pools and chlorine
bleaches, paint strippers, adhesives, paints, varnishes,
sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried) and solvents
used during construction and remodeling. Various
commercial and industrial processes may also be
sources of chlorinetfluorine compounds.
Heavier gauge 300 and 400 series stainless steel liners
were developed for use with oil or solid fuel appliances.
They are not suitable for use with gas-fired appliances.
Flexible liners specifically intended and tested for gas
applications are listed in the UL "Gas and Oil Equipment
Directory". (UL Standard 1777).
For sizing of flexible liners, see Note 22 and the tables in the
National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition
and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and
CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.
To install the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer's
instructions and your local codes. Excess liner length should be
pulled out of the chimney and cut off. Use caution when doing
this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp. Do not
spiral excess liner inside of the chimney. Support the liner as
recommended by the liner manufacturer.
Some manufacturers of flexible liners offer an insulation sleeve
designed to be added to the liner before it is installed in the
chimney. (Poured insulation, either vermiculite or other materials,
is no longer recommended.) insulation will need to be added to
the flexible liner if:
It is required by the liner manufacturer's instructions.
• The previous liner was properly sized and installed, and
suffered from condensation damage.
It is required by your local building codes.
Even if none of those three conditions exist which require
additional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:
The local climate is very cold.

IX. GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
GENERAL
The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace gas input
rating and gas types. The furnace must be equipped to operate
on the type of gas applied. This includes any conversion kits
required for alternate fuels and/or high altitude.
_i_ CAUTION
ITo PREVENT UNRELIABLE OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, THE INLET
G AT: :UPLPLYNPRRE:SUuR:NMUL.CT ::tSIRSEFDEC_;IptDA:NETHEpUNIRTTRI:'iGING PLATE
Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges
specified in the following table. The supply pressure must be
constant and available with all other household gas fired
appliances operating. The minimum gas supply pressure must
be maintained to prevent unreliable ignition. The maximum must
not be exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.
Inlet Gas Supply Pressure
Natural Gas IMinimum: 5.0" w.c. Maximum:10.0"w.c.
i"
Propane Gas IMinimum: 11.0"w.c. Maximum:13.0"w.c.
NOTE: Adjusting the minimum supply pressure below the limits
in the above table could lead to unreliable ignition. Gas input to
the burners must not exceed the rated input shown on the rating
plate. Overfiring of the furnace can result in premature heat
exchanger failure. Gas pressures in excess of 13 inches water
column can also cause permanent damage to the gas valve.
At all altitudes, the manifold pressure must be within 0.3 inches
w.c. of that listed in the Product Data Book applicable to your
model for the fuel used. At all altitudes and with either fuel, the air
temperature rise must be within the range listed on the furnace
nameplate. Should this appliance be converted to LP, refer to the
instructions included in the factory authorized LP conversion kit.
HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE
IMPORTANT NOTE: The furnace will naturally derate itself with
altitude. Do not attempt to increase the firing rate by changing
orifices or increasing the manifold pressure. This can cause
poor combustion and equipment failure.
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate
High Altitude orifice kit must be applied. The furnace is supplied
with orifices sized for natural gas at altitudes up to 4,500 feet
using a heating value of approximately 1,000 Btu/hr, and should
not normally require change. Most cases will not require a change
at altitudes up to 7,500 feet. For use at altitudes in excess of
4,500 feet, refer to the following table for maximum input rates
based on altitude. Contact your local gas utility for the heating
value of the gas. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1
and the following section to calculate firing rates.

34,000 51,000 88,000 77,000
Firing rates may be lower than listed in table
It is important to check and adjust the input rate of the furnace to
prevent an overfiring situation. Overfiring can cause premature
heat exchanger failure. The input is controlled by the supply
pressure, orifice size, manifold pressure and heating (calorific)
value of the gas.
The supply pressure must be measured with this and all other
gas burning appliances in operation. The supply pressure must
be adjusted to the pressure range stated on the rating plate.
Applications for altitudes in excess of 4,500 feet usually require
an orifice change.
ALTERNATE HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE
Alternately standard derate for altitude from National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 of 4% per 1000' may be taken. Refer to the
most recent version of ASNI Z223.1 for correct gas orifice. The
orifices must be selected using the table below. The furnace
derate is 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level. This table is
based upon a heating value of approximately 1,000 Btu/ft 3

The input to the furnace must be checked AFTER reorificing.
For altitudes above 4,500 feet, refer to appropriate section of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. To calculate the input of
the furnace for installations in altitudes over 7,000 feet, use the
following formula:
Corrected Input = Rating Plate input - (Altitude X .04) X (Rating
Plate input /1000)
Example:
Corrected input for a 90,000 Btu/hr. appliance installed at an
altitude of 6,000 ft. utilizing natural gas with a heating value of
1,000 Btu/ft 3 is determined by-
Corrected input = 90,000 - (6,000 X .04) X (90,000 /1,000)
Corrected input = 90,000 - (240 X 90)
Corrected input = 90,000 - 21,600
Corrected Input = 68,400
FIRING RATE
Using the orifices sized as shown in the table for 6,000 feet
(#45), a meter time of 52.6 seconds is measured. The actual
firing rate of the furnace is:
Input = 1,000 (heating value of the gas) X 3600 (constant) /52.6
(meter time for 1 ft3of gas)
Input = 3,600,000 /52.6

In Canada, the rating plate input for the furnace apply to
installations up to 4,500 feet (1370m) above sea level. Canadian
certification applies to the installations of up to 4,500 feet above
sea level, installations above 4,500 feet are subject to acceptance
by the local authorities having jurisdiction.
Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to
a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The
combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold
pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper
amount of air into the burner. This may cause incomplete
combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in
an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If the gas is
artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined
based upon the BTU/ft 3content of the derated gas and the altitude.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, N FPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and
information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper
orifice size.
Some models require a pressure switch change due to the
reduced air density above certain altitudes. Refer to the following
table to determine proper pressure switch settings for your
application.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude
regardless of the BTU/ft 3 content of the fuel used. Contact your
distributor for appropriate altitude ranges and pressure switch
kits.

PROPANE GAS TANKS AND PIPING
_IbWARNING
IF THE GAS FURNACE IS INSTALLED IN A BASEMENT, AN EXCAVATED
AREA OR A CONFINED SPACE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDEDTO
CONTACT A PROPANE SUPPLIER TO INSTALL A GAS DETECTING
WARNING DEVICE IN CASE OF A GAB LEAK.
SINCE PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, ANY LEAKING GAS CAN
SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES.
PROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING THE GAS UNDETECTABLE
EXCEPT WITH A WARNING DEVICE.
A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect a
propane gas leak. Rust can reduce the level of odorant in propane
gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local propane
gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If
the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions on Page
3 of this manual.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 11 inch
WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid,
and "wetted surface" area of the container or containers.
2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is
recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between
second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will
depend on length of pipe run and total load of all
appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available
from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most
standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be
used. Shellac-based compounds resistant to the actions of
liquefied petroleum gases such as Gasolac ®, Stalactic ®, Clyde's ®
or John Crane ® are satisfactory.

X. CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS
Ductwork - Air
I_WARNING
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE, TO ENTER THE RETURN DUCTWORK OR CIRCULATION AIR SUPPLY.
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for
the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace.
Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the
recommended methods of "Air Conditioning Contractors of
America" Manual D.
A duct system must be installed in accordance with Standards of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the installation of Air
Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems.
Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. Supply and return connections to the
furnace may be made with flexible joints to reduce noise
transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with
combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting
duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall.
A room, closet, or alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream
side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating
element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other
means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated,
must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit
unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is
recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the
outlet air duct. 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 visual light inspection or such that a sampling
probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must
be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°R
When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated
by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
the return air shall also be handled by a duct sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
FILTERS - READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING THE
RETURN AIR DUCTWORK
Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance
with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but
must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with ULg00
or CANIULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without
filters, the warranty will be voided.
NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow. The
bottom return is set up as a knock out.
UPRIGHT INSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference,
differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be
installed in the central return register or a side panel external filter
rack kit (upflows), or the ductwork above a counterflow furnace. As
an alternative, a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be
used as the requested filter.
CIRCULATION AIR FILTERS
One of the most common causes of a problem in a forced air
heating system is a blocked or dirty filter. Circulating air filters
must be inspected monthly for dirt accumulation and replaced if
necessary. Failure to maintain clean filters can cause premature
heat exchanger failure.
A new home may require more frequent replacement until all
construction dust and dirt is removed. Circulating air filters are to
be installed in the return air duct external to the furnace cabinet.

The final manifold pressure must not vary more than _+0.3 w.c.
from specified manifold pressure.
Any necessary major changes in gas flow rate should be made by
changing the size of the burner orifice.
GAS INPUT RATE MEASUREMENT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
The gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that
specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas input
using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning
appliances except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating, time and record one
complete revolution of the smallest gas meter dial.
3. Calculate the number of seconds per cubic foot (sec/ft 3) of
gas being delivered to the furnace. If the dial is a one cubic
foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2
by one. If the dial is a two cubic foot dial, divide the number
of seconds recorded in step 2 by two.
4. Calculate the furnace input in BTUs per hour (BTU/ hr).
Input equals the installation's gas heating value multiplied
by a conversion factor (hours to seconds) divided by the
number of seconds per cubic foot. The measured input
must not be greater than the input indicated on the unit
rating plate.
EXAMPLE:
Installation's gas heating (HTG) value: 1,0go BTU/ft 3
(Obtained from gas supplier)
Installation's seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ft 3
Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr
Input = (Htg. value x 3600) + seconds per cubic foot
Input = (1 ,O00 BTUift 3 x 3600 sec/hr) + 34 sec/ft 3
Input = 106,000 BTU/hr
This measured input must not be greater than the input
indicated on the unit rating plate.
5. Turn ON gas and relight appliances turned off in step 1.
Ensure all the appliances are functioning properly and that
all pilot burners are operating.
TEMPERATURE RISE
Air temperature rise is the temperature difference between supply
and return air. The proper amount of temperature rise is usually
obtained when the unit is operated at the rated input with the "as
shipped" blower speed. If the correct amount of temperature rise
is not obtained, it may be necessary to change the blower speed.
An incorrect temperature rise can cause condensing in or
overheating of the heat exchanger. Determine and adjust the
temperature rise as follows. The temperature rise must be within
the range specified on the rating plate or Product Data Book
applicable to your model. (Please contact your distributor or visit
our website for the appficable Product Data Book referred to in
this manual.)

Temperature Rise Measurement
1. Operate furnace with burners firing approximately 15
minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct
dampers are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as
close to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must not
be influenced by radiant heat by being able to "see" the
heat exchanger.
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air
temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow
adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower
speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise.
Refer to the following section for speed changing details.
CIRCULATOR BLOWER SPEED ADJUSTMENT
_IbWARNING
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN
OFF POWER TO THE FURNACE BEFORE CHANGING SPEED TAPS.
This furnace is equipped with a PSC circulator blower motor. This
blower provides ease in adjusting blower speeds. The Product
Data Book applicable to your model provides an airflow table
showing the relationship between airflow (CFM) and external static
pressure (E.S.P.) and a table for the proper selection of heating
and cooling speeds. The cooling blower speed is shipped set on
HIGH. High heat ships on MEDIUM andlow heat is shipped on
MEDIUM-LO. These blower speeds should be adjusted by the
installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide
the correct heating temperature rise and the correct cooling CFM.
24
To adjust the circulator blower speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF power to the furnace.
2. Select the heating and cooling blower speeds that match
the installation requirements from the airflow table in the
Product Data Book applicable to your model.
3. Relocate desired motor leads to the circulator blower heat
and cool speed terminals on the integrated control module.
(Terminals are identified as HEAT and COOL (hot)). If
heating and cooling blower speeds are the same, a jumper
wire must be used between the heat and cool terminals.
4. Connect all unused blower motor leads to the "PARK"
terminals on the integrated control module. Any leads not
connected to the "PARK" terminals must be taped.
5. Turn ON power to furnace.
6. Verify proper temperature rise as outlined in Temperature
Rise section.
CIRCULATOR BLOWER FAN TIMING ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Items in this section refer to the air circulator blower fan,
NOT to the induced draft blower. The induced draft blower timing
sequence is not adjustable. The circulator blower fan timing is
adjustable only on models with optional "heatinq fan OFF delay"
adiustment Dins or switches. It is NOT adjustable in any other
circumstances.
As shipped, the circulator blower fan will remain on for 150
seconds after the gas valve closes. When a call for cooling occurs,
the circulator fan comes on and remains on for 45 seconds after
the call for cooling ends. During normal heating operation, the
circulator fan will come on approximately 34 seconds after the
gas valve opens.

XIV. SAFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper
furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any potential
safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring and diagnosis
of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously monitored
during furnace operation by the integrated control module.
INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE
The integrated control module is an electronic device which
controls all furnace operations. Responding to the thermostat,
the module initiates and controls normal furnace operation, and
monitors and addresses all safety circuits. If a potential safety
concern is detected, the module will take the necessary
precautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.
PRIMARY LIMIT
The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and
monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is an
automatic reset, temperature sensor. The limit guards against
the overheating resulting from insufficient air passing over the
heat exchanger.
AUXILIARY LIMIT
The auxiliary limit control is located either on or near the circulator
blower and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures.
The control is a temperature sensor. It guards against overheating
resulting from insufficient air passing over the heat exchanger.
ROLLOUT LIMITS
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/manifold
assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are manual-reset,
temperature sensors. This limit guards against burner flames
not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switches are normally-open, negative air pressure-
activated switches. They monitor the airflow (combustion air and
flue products) through the heat exchanger via pressure taps located
on the induced draft blower. These switches guard against
insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the
heat exchanger.
FLAME SENSOR
The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold
assembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to
determine the presence or absence of flame.
XV. TROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body's static electricity before touching unit. An
electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage.
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 discharge. This
procedure is applicable to both installed and uninstalled
(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
furnace away from the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.
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.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Refer to the troubleshooting chart on the following pages for
assistance in determining the source of unit operational problems.
The red diagnostic LED blinks to assist in troubleshooting the
unit. The number of blinks refer to a specific code.
RESETTING FROM LOCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve
ignition after three attempts. It is characterized by a non-functioning
furnace and a one flash diagnostic LED code from the red LED. If
the furnace is in "lockout", it will (or can be) reset in any of the
following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will
automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal
operations following a one hour lockout period.
2. Manual power interruption, interrupt 115 volt power to the
furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that
there is no longer a call for heat for 1 - 20 seconds then
reset to previous setting.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the Diagnostic
Chart for aid in determining the cause.
XVI. MAINTENANCE
_WARNING
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, INJURY OR DEATH, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. IF YOU MUST HANDLE THE
IGNITER, HANDLE WITH CARE. TOUCHING THE IGNITER ELEMENT WITH BARE
FINGERS, ROUGH HANDLING, OR VIBRATION COULD DAMAGE THE IGNITER
RESULTING IN PREMATURE FAILURE. ONLY A QUALIFIED SERVICER SHOULD
EVER HANDLE THE IGNITER.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all
furnace components are in proper working order and that the
heating system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention to
the following items. Repair or service as necessary.
26
• Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check the outside termination and the connections at and
internal to the furnace.
Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within
the heat exchanger passageways.
Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame
sense.
• Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/or
corrosion. Check wires for damage.
• Filters.
FILTERS
i_lb WARNING
To AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DISCONNECT
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE REMOVING FILTERS. NEVER OPERATE FURNACE
WITHOUT A FILTER INSTALLED BECAUSE DUST AND LINT WILL BUILD UP ON
INTERNAL PARTS RESULTING IN LOSS OF EFFICIENCY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
A return air filter is not supplied with this furnace; however, there
must be a means of filtering all of the return air. The installer will
supply filter(s) at the time of installation.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of
inadequate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be
cleaned (permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months
or as required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a
filter of the same type and size.
,_ WARNING
To PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FURNACE
BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER OR PERFORMING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE.
Become familiar with filter location and procedures for removal,
cleaning and replacing them. If help is needed, contact the installer
of the furnace or a qualified servicer.
FILTER REMOVAL
Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can
be applied. Filters can be installed in either the central return
register or a side panel external filter rack (upfiow only). A media
air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate filter.
Follow the filter sizes given in the Recommended Minimum Filter
size table to ensure proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upfiow
installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit. Internal filters are an accessory item and are not included with
your furnace. For further details, see your distributor.
U PRIGHT FILTER REMOVAL
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upfiow
installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit.
Clean, wash and dry a permanent filter. When using a permanent
filter, both sides should be sprayed with a dust adhesive as
recommended on the adhesive container. Spray adhesives for
use with permanent filters can be found at some hardware stores.
BE SUREAIRFLOW DIRECTIONARROW POINTS TOWARDS THE
BLOWER.
Inspect filter. If your dirty filter is the disposable type, replace dirty
filter with the same type and size filter. If your dirty filter is a
permanent filter, clean as follows:
• Wash, rinse, and dry the permanent filters. Both sides
should then be sprayed with a filter adhesive as is
recommended on the adhesive container. Many hardware
stores stock spray adhesives for use with permanent filters.
if badly torn or uncleanable, these filters must be replaced
by equal size permanent, high velocity filters. Throwaway
filters must not be used as replacement for permanent
filters. Under normal use, permanent filters should last for
several years.
INDUCED DRAFT AND CIRCULATOR BLOWER MOTORS
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower
motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further
lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumulation
of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary.
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly
invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame
sense signal drops too low, the furnace will not sense flame and
will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a
qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following
cleaning, the flame sense signal should be 1 to 6 microamps at
115 volts.
IGNITER (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
If the igniter and the surrounding air are at about 70°F and the
igniter wires are not connected to any other electrical components,
the resistance of the igniter should not exceed 200 ohms. If it
does, the igniter should be replaced.
BURNERS
I_IbWARNING
To PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DO NOT REMOVE ANY INTERNAL
COMPARTMENT COVERS OR ATTEMPT ANY ADJUSTMENT. ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS ARE CONTAINED IN BOTH COMPARTMENTS. CONTACT A
QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT AT ONCE IF AN ABNORMAL FLAME APPEARANCE
SHOULD DEVELOP.
Periodically during the heating season, make a visual check of
the burner flames. Turn the furnace on at the thermostat. Wait a
few minutes, since any dislodged dust will alter the normal flame
appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft and blue with
slightly orange tips. They should not be yellow. They should
extend directly outward from the burner ports without curling
downward, floating or lifting off the ports.
27
CLEANING (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONL Y)
1. Shut off electric power and gas supply to the furnace.
2. Disconnect the rollout limit wires, flame sensor wire, and
disconnect the igniter plug.
_[_ CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS,
WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION.
VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
3. Remove four (4) screws securing the burner box top.
CAUTION
THE IGNITER IS FRAGILE AND CAN BE EASILY DAMAGED. USE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE BURNER BOX TOP.
4. Remove the screws securing the burners to the burner
bracket. Remove the burners.
5. Use bottle brush to clean burner insert and inside of burner.
6. Replace burner (opposite of removal). Ensure burners
are fully seated on burner bracket. Re-connect wiring.
_[_ CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS.
WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION.
VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
7. Turn on electric power and gas supply to the furnace.
8. Check furnace for proper operation. Refer to "Operational
Checks" section to verify burner flame characteristics.
XVII. BEFORE LEAVING AN INSTALLATION
Cycle the furnace with the thermostat at least three times.
Verify cooling and fan only operation.
Review the Owner's Manual with the homeowner and
discuss proper furnace operation and maintenance.
Leave literature packet near furnace.
