CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas

Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.

This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.

CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.
B10259-216

TO THE INSTALLER
Before installing this unit, please read this manual thoroughly to
familiarize yourself with specific items which must be adhered to,
including but not limited to: unit maximum external static pressure,
gas pressures, BTU input rating, proper electrical connections, circulating air temperature rise, minimum or maximum CFM, and motor speed connections.

IV. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS & CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL
WARNING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, THE FOLLOWING BULLET POINTS MUST
BE OBSERVED WHEN INSTALLING THE UNIT.

Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in Combustion and
Ventilation Air Requirements.
•
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 problems. Do not install
the furnace where the combustion air is exposed to the
following substances:
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
and masonry acid washing materials

Seal off a non-direct vent furnace if it is installed near an
area frequently 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, vent 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 unit.
Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling
unit is placed ahead 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, the furnace access
doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally
into the heat exchanger. Do not install the unit with the
access doors on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of
the furnace.

FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded rod

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.

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.

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.

DRAFTS OR DEAD SPOTS

V. COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF
THE FURNACE IS NOT PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR PROPER
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF FLUE GASES. MOST HOMES REQUIRE
OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED TO THE 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 CSA B149.1-05 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.

(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 5.3.3b 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:

10

(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 enclosure.

VI. INSTALLATION POSITIONS

LEVELING

This furnace may be installed in an upright position or horizontal
on either the left or right side panel. Do not install this furnace on
its back. For upright upflow furnaces, return air ductwork may be
attached to the side panel(s) and/or basepan. For horizontal upflow furnaces, return air ductwork must be attached to the basepan.
For both upright or horizontal counterflow furnaces, return ductwork must be attached to the basepan (top end of the blower compartment). NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of
the furnace. For upflow installations requiring 1,800 CFM or more,
use either two side returns or a bottom return or a combination of
side and bottom. Contact your distributor for proper airflow requirements and number of required ductwork connections. Refer to
“Recommended Installation Positions” figure for appropriate installation positions, ductwork connections, and resulting airflow
arrangements.
VII. HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger
and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace
must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should also be
level from back to front or have a slight tilt with the access doors downhill
(approximately 3/4 inches) from the back panel. The slight tilt allows
the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to
flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover.

ALTERNATE VENT/FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR CONNECTIONS
In horizontal installations, provisions for alternate vent/flue piping is
available for upflow furnaces with left air discharge. Counterflow furnaces include provisions for both alternate vent/flue and combustion
air piping with right air discharge. These configurations allow the flue
and combustion air piping to be run vertically through the furnace. Refer to the “Recommended Installation Positions” figure for further detail. The standard piping connections may also be used in these positions. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe for details
concerning the conversion to the alternate vent/flue air connections.

Horizontal applications, in particular, may dictate many of the
installation’s specifics such as airflow direction, ductwork connec- When using the horizontal alternate vent configuration, you must

GENERAL
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN BODILY
INJURY OR DEATH. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS SECTION .

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 Installation instructions for these
products must be followed. These products have specific instructions
for installing, joining and terminating. Do not mix materials or components of one manufacturer with materials or components of another
manufacturer.
For Canadian installations; all PVC pipe, fittings and joining materials must be UL S636 listed.
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 ABS Schedule 40 pipe
must meet ASTM D1527 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.

WARNING
UPON COMPLETION OF THE FURNACE INSTALLATION, CAREFULLY
INSPECT THE ENTIRE FLUE SYSTEM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF
THE FURNACE TO ASSURE IT IS PROPERLY SEALED . LEAKS IN THE
FLUE SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
DUE TO EXPOSURE TO FLUE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of 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 pipe is used as venting material.
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. Do not use commercially available “no hub connectors” other than those shipped with this product.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’
recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it
is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and
connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to
prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace
operation.

PROPER VENT/FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING PRACTICES
Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace
performance. The length, diameter, and number of elbows 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 furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be supported every three to five
feet and must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope, back
towards the furnace, to properly return condensate to the furnace’s
drain system. Allowances should be made for minor expansion
and contraction due to temperature variations. For this reason,
particular care must be taken to secure piping when a long run is
followed by a short offset of less than 40 inches.
Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. It is our recommendation that all vent/flue piping exposed to
temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time should 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) should be insulated with 1/2” thick
closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

DUAL CERTIFICATION: NON-DIRECT/DIRECT VENT
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct
vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-direct
vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent
installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air
intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning
piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and
terminations.

MATERIALS AND JOINING METHODS
WARNING
TO AVOID BODILY INJURY, FIRE OR EXPLOSION, SOLVENT CEMENTS
MUST BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL IGNITION SOURCES (I.E., SPARKS,

VENT/FLUE PIPE

TERMINATION LOCATIONS
NOTES: Refer to Location Requirements and Considerations for
combustion air contaminant restrictions.
The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion 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 termination 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 non-direct vent application must
terminate at least 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from, or
1 foot above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any
building.
•
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 of vent pipe run 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 Canadian Fuel Gas Code takes precedence
over the preceding termination restrictions.

CANADIAN VENTING REQUIREMENTS
In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA-listed,
ULC-S636 compliant two- or three-inch diameter PVC or ABS pipe,
solvent cement, and fittings throughout. The certified piping should
be clearly marked with the ULC Std “S636” on the pipe and fittings.
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 provided
the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and
closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.

STANDARD FURNACE CONNECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and adequately supported.
As shipped, attachment “couplings” for vent/flue and combustion
air intake pipe connections are provided on the furnace’s top cover
(upflow) or basepan (counterflow). To use the standard connections, field supplied vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe
(when applicable) should be secured directly to the furnace at these
locations.

Vent/flue pipe can be secured to the vent/flue coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with this furnace
(see “Standard Connections” figure). The rubber coupling allows separation of the vent/flue pipe from the furnace during servicing. 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 utilizing two 45 deg.
Long-Sweep Elbows and creating an “S” joint to provide additional
space at connection locations. 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.

NOTE: Do not use other commercially available “no hub connectors” due to possible material conflicts. The vent/flue pipe can also
be secured using a PVC or ABS elbow or coupling using the appropriate glue (see Section IX, Materials and Joining Methods).
NOTE: For non-direct vent installations, a minimum of one 90°
elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling
to guard against inadvertent blockage.

COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to the
air intake coupling. 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 allows service removal of air intake piping internal to the
furnace blower compartment. NOTE: Because of probable material
conflicts, do not use other commercially available “no hub connectors”. The combustion air intake pipe can also be secured directly to
the counterflow unit air intake pipe coupling.
NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion air
intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent blockage.

particular benefit to upright upflow installations requiring additional
access to an A coil, or to upright counterflow installations requiring
additional access to a filter or electronic air cleaner, or to horizontal
installations desiring vent/flue (upflow and counterflow) and combustion air intake (counterflow only) piping run vertically from the side of
the cabinet.
NOTE: Standard and alternate locations can be combined (i.e., an
installation may use the standard combustion air intake location
but use the alternate vent/flue location), if needed.

NON-DIRECT VENT (SINGLE PIPE) PIPING
Non-direct vent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The vent
pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of the
building or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the building.
The vent can also be run through an existing unused chimney;
however, it must extend a minimum of 12 inches above the top of
the chimney. The space between the vent pipe and the chimney
must be closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
For details concerning connection of the vent/flue pipe to the furnace, refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air - Standard Furnace Connections or Alternate Furnace Connections for specific
details. Refer to the following Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping
- Vent/Flue Pipe Terminations for specific details on termination
construction.
Although non-direct vent installations do not require a combustion
air intake pipe, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be attached to
the furnace’s combustion air intake if: an upright installation uses
the standard intake location. This elbow will guard against inadvertent blockage of the air intake.

VENT/FLUE PIPE LENGTHS

AND

DIAMETERS

Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows, and pipe
diameter for construction of the vent/flue pipe system of a nondirect vent installation. In addition to the vent/flue pipe, a single 90°
elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake to prevent
inadvertent blockage. The tee used in the vent/flue termination must
be included when determining the number of elbows in the piping system.

1) Maximum allowable limits listed on individual lengths for inlet and flue and
NOT a combination.
2) Minimum requirement for each vent pipe is five (5) feet in length and one
elbow/tee.
3) Tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included when determining
the number of elbows in the piping system.
4) 2 1/2” or 3” diameter pipe can be used in place of 2” diameter pipe.
5) Increased Clearance Configurations using (2) 45 deg. Long Sweep
elbows should be considered equivalent to one 90 deg. elbow.
6) One 90° elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake connection.

VENT/FLUE PIPE TERMINATIONS
NOTE: If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for termination, it must be pointed downward.
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a roof, or
horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the following figure. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe Termination Locations for details concerning location restrictions.
The penetration of the vent through the roof must be sealed tight
with proper flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the
following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning location restrictions. A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration is required for
2” diameter pipe. A 3” diameter hole is required for a 2 1/2” pipe
and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. To
secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit damage to
piping connections, a coupling should be installed on either side
of the wall and solvent cemented to a length of pipe connecting the
two couplings. The length of pipe should be the wall thickness
plus the depth of the socket fittings to be installed on the inside and
outside of the wall. The wall penetration should be sealed with silicone caulking material.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run between
joist spaces. If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up into
the last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows should be
used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.
NOTE: Terminate both pipes in the same pressure zone (same
side of roof, no major obstacles between pipes, etc.)

X. CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP

(OPTIONAL)

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by
extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion
and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place.
The condensate which is generated must be piped to an appropriate drain location.
In upright installations, the furnace’s drain hoses may exit either
the right or left side of the furnace. NOTE: If the alternate vent/flue
outlet is utilized in an upright installation, the drain trap and drain
connections must be located on the same side as the alternate
vent/flue outlet.
In horizontal installations, the drain hoses will exit through the
bottom (down side) of the unit with the drain trap suspended beneath the furnace. The field-supplied drain system must be in
accordance with all local codes and the instructions in the following sections.

12" MIN. ABOVE
HIGHEST ANTICIPATED
SNOW LEVEL

Combustion Air Intake may also be snorkeled to obtain 12” min. ground
clearance.
Alternate Vent Termination Above Anticipated Snow Level
(Dual Pipe)
In a basement installation, the pipes may be run between the joist
spaces. If the pipes must go below the joist and then up into the
last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows should be
used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.

VENT/INTAKE TERMINATIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF MULTIPLE
DIRECT VENT FURNACES

Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system.
Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose hook ups.
•
The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be used.
•
The drain line between furnace and drain location must
maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope toward
the drain.
•
Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at
the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
•
If the drain line is routed through an area which may
see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions
must be taken to prevent condensate from freezing
within the drain line.

If more than one direct vent furnace is to be installed vertically
through a common roof top, maintain the same minimum clearances between the exhaust vent and air intake terminations of
adjacent units as with the exhaust vent and air intake terminations
of a single unit.
If more than one direct vent furnace is to be installed horizontally
through a common side wall, maintain the clearances as in the
following figure. Always terminate all exhaust vent outlets at the
same elevation and always terminate all air intakes at the same
elevation.

•

If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a
common drain may be used. An open tee must be
installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to relieve
positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum. This is
necessary to prohibit any interference with the function of
the furnace’s drain trap.

In a upright installation drain hoses are connected to drain ports on the
rubber elbow and the recuperator coil front cover. The drain lines are
then routed through the right side panel and into the drain trap secured
to the outside of the cabinet.
NOTE: Refer to Alternate Vent/Flue Hose Connections for upright
installations using an alternate vent/flue outlet.

24 VOLT HUMIDIFIER

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/ft3 content of the derated gas and the altitude. Refer to the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude regardless
of the BTU/ft3 content of the fuel used. Contact your distributor for a
tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding
manufacturer’s pressure switch kits.

GENERAL

HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE

CAUTION

When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High
Altitude orifice kit must be applied. This is required due to the
natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit will provide the proper design
certified input rate within the specified altitude range.
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. Contact your
distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and
corresponding manufacturer’s high altitude (Natural, Propane Gas,
and/or Pressure Switch) kits.
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.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE UNSATISFACTORY OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
DUE TO UNDERFIRING OF EQUIPMENT, USE THE PROPER SIZE OF
NATURAL/PROPANE GAS PIPING NEEDED WHEN RUNNING PIPE FROM THE
METER/TANK TO THE FURNACE.

When sizing a trunk line, be sure to include all appliances which
will operate simultaneously.
The gas piping supplying the furnace must be properly sized based
on the gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas, and length of
the run. The gas line installation must comply with local codes, or
in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

WARNING
IF

THE GAS FURNACE IS INSTALLED IN A BASEMENT, AN EXCAVATED
AREA OR A CONFINED SPACE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO
CONTACT A PROPANE SUPPLIER TO INSTALL A GAS DETECTING
WARNING DEVICE IN CASE OF A GAS LEAK.
• SINCE PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, ANY LEAKING AS CAN
SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES.
• PROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING THE GAS
UNDETECTABLE EXCEPT FOR 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
4 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
w.c. 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.
Refer to the following illustration for typical propane gas installations.

XIII. CIRCULATING AIR & FILTERS

DUCTWORK - AIR FLOW
WARNING
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE, TO ENTER THE RETURN DUCT WORK OR CIRCULATION
AIR SUPPLY.

Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the
CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the
ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.
Install the duct system 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. Flexible joints may be used for supply and
return connections 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. Never us a room, closet, or alcove 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°F.

CHECKING DUCT STATIC

BOTTOM RETURN AIR OPENING [UPFLOW MODELS]

Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external
duct static) rating.
Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers must all be considered when reading your total external static pressure. The supply duct
pressure must be read between the furnace and the cooling coil. This
reading is usually taken by removing the “A” shaped block off plate
from the end on the coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the
block off plate. Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the
test hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be
read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Too much external static pressure will result in insufficient air that can
cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.
To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as follows;

The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance and
cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in the base
pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the duct opening.
Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the sheet metal to
free the duct flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a
guide, unfold the duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening
using a pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will
be reduced by approximately 18% if duct flanges are not unfolded.
This could cause performance issues and noise issues.

WARNING
EDGES OF SHEET

METAL HOLES MAY BE SHARP.
PRECAUTION WHEN REMOVING HOLE PLUGS.

1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined manometer) to measure the static pressure of the return duct at the
inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is .4” w.c.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -.1" w.c.
static reading from supply duct = .3" w.c.
total external static pressure on this system = .4" w.c.

CUT USING TIN SNIPS
PRESS OUT BY HAND

CUT FOUR CORNERS
AFTER REMOVING SHEET
METAL

NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly
on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner coil or Electronic
Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the furnace, the readings must
also include theses components, as shown in the following drawing.
4. Consult proper tables for the quantity of air. If the total external
static pressure exceeds the maximum listed on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, registers, undersized and/
or oversized poorly laid out duct work.

heating, the temperature of the return air entering the furnace must be
between 55°F and 100°F.

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 UL900
or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.
Checking Static Pressure
(80% Furnace Shown, 90% Similar)

On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout
locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the
dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines.
NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area requirements.

refer to further information in Section XVI, Operational Checks.

The drain trap must be primed prior to furnace startup. To prime, fill
the drain trap with water. This ensures proper furnace drainage
upon startup and prohibits the possibility of flue gases escaping
through the drain system. Air conditioning condensate may be drained
into the furnace trap.

FURNACE OPERATION
Purge gas lines of air prior to startup. Be sure not to purge lines into
an enclosed burner compartment. Follow NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas
Code 8.3 for proper purging methods. In Canada, follow approved
purging methods in B149.1

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/ ft3) 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: 1,000 BTU/ft 3
(Obtained from gas supplier)
Installation’s seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ ft3
Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr

WARNING
TO PREVENT PREMATURE FAILURE OF HEAT EXCHANGER, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DO NOT ADJUST THE LIMIT
CONTROL (FACTORY-SET ).

Input = (Htg. value x 3600) ÷ seconds per cubic foot
Input = (1,000 BTU/ft3 x 3600 sec/hr) ÷ 34 sec/ ft3
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
Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit
rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and temperature rise table is provided in the Specification Sheet applicable
to your model.
Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten
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.

This furnace is equipped with a multi-speed circulator blower. This
blower provides ease in adjusting blower speeds. The Specification Sheet applicable to your model provides an airflow table, showing the relationship between airflow (CFM) and external static pressure (E.S.P.), for the proper selection of heating and cooling speeds.
The cooling blower speed is shipped set on HIGH, and the heating
blower speed is set as indicated in the Specification Sheet applicable to your model. These blower speeds should be adjusted by
the installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide
the correct heating temperature rise and correct cooling CFM.
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
Specification Sheet.
3. Relocate desired motor leads to the circulator blower heat
and cool speed terminals on the integrated control module.
(Terminals are identified as LO HEAT-H, HI HEAT-H and
COOL-H (hot)). If a heating speed and the cooling blower
speed 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 Section XIV,
Startup Procedure and Adjustment - Temperature Rise.

SETTING FURNACE OPERATING MODE
This furnace is designed to operate with either a single gas input rate
or with two distinct gas input rates. The Mode DIP switch is used to
select the single gas input rate or two distinct input rates.
Setting the Mode switch to “1 STG” forces the furnace to operate at
the furnace’s highest input rate only. Operation is as described
under Sequence of Operation (Integrated Ignition Control) – Mode
DIP Switch is set to “1 STG” position.
Setting the Mode switch to “2 STG” allows the furnace to operate at
the furnace’s highest input AND at an input rate that is 75% of the
highest input rate. For this mode of operation, the furnace operates at the low input rate for a pre-determined time period then
steps to the high input rate. Operation is as described under Sequence of Operation (Integrated Ignition Control) – Mode DIP Switch
is set to “2 STG” position.

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 furnaces
near 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.

NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Chart for aid in determining the cause.

BURNERS

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.
• Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check
the outside termination and the connections at and internal
to the furnace.

Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heating season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow several minutes
for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged dust will alter the flames
normal appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft, and blue
(dust may cause orange tips but they must not be yellow). They should
extend directly outward from the burners without curling, floating, or
lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger
firing tubes.

INDUCED DRAFT AND CIRCULATOR BLOWERS

•

Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within
the heat exchanger passageways.

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.

•

Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame
sense.

CONDENSATE TRAP AND DRAIN SYSTEM (QUALIFIED SERVICER
ONLY)

•

Drainage system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check hose connections at and internal to furnace.

•

Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/or
corrosion. Check wires for damage.

Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-supplied drain
line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain system for hose
connection tightness, blockage, and leaks. Clean or repair as
necessary.

•

Filters.

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.

FILTERS
CAUTION
TO ENSURE PROPER UNIT PERFORMANCE, ADHERE TO THE FILTER
SIZES GIVEN IN THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM FILTER SIZE TABLE OR
SPECIFICATION SHEET APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL*

*NOTE: Please contact your distributor or our website for the
applicable Specification Sheet referred to in this manual.

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.

FILTER REMOVAL

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 75 ohms. If it does,
the igniter should be replaced.

FLUE PASSAGES (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected at the
beginning of each heating season. If necessary, clean the passageways as outlined below.

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 (upflow 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 upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack kit.

1.

CFM in chart is without filters(s). Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. If the furnace requires two return filters, this chart assumes
both filters are installed.

2.

All furnaces ship as high speed cooling and medium-speed heating. Installer must adjust blower cooling & heating speed as needed.

3.

For most jobs, about 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.

4.

INSTALLATION IS TO BE ADJUSTED TO OBTAIN TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE.

5.

The chart is for information only. For satisfactory operation, external static pressure must not exceed value shown on rating plate. The shaded area indicates ranges
in excess of maximum external static pressure allowed when heating. The data for 0.6" w.c. to 0.8" w.c. is shown for air conditioning purposes only.

6.

At higher altitudes, a properly de-rated unit will have approximately the same temperature rise at a particular CFM, while the ESP at that CFM will be lower.

1.

CFM in chart is without filters(s). Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. If the furnace requires two return filters, this chart assumes
both filters are installed.

2.

All furnaces ship as high speed cooling and medium-speed heating. Installer must adjust blower cooling & heating speed as needed.

3.

For most jobs, about 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.

4.

INSTALLATION IS TO BE ADJUSTED TO OBTAIN TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE.

5.

The chart is for information only. For satisfactory operation, external static pressure must not exceed value shown on rating plate. The shaded area indicates ranges
in excess of maximum external static pressure allowed when heating. The data for 0.6" w.c. to 0.8" w.c. is shown fo air conditioning purposes only.

6.

At higher altitudes, a properly de-rated unit will have approximately the same temperature rise at a particular CFM, while the ESP at that CFM will be lower.
