INSTALL FURNACE
1. Position furnace in desired location.
2. Connect gas supply pipe. See Fig. 8 for typical piping entry.
3. Install field-supplied filter retainers as indicated in Fig. 11 and
Table 4 before connecting return-air duct to furnace.
4. Connect supply- and return-air ducts.
5. Install 24- X 24-in. sheet metal shield on platform in front of
louvered control panel as shown in Fig. 8.
Step 7—Horizontal Crawlspace Installation
The furnace can be installed horizontally with either the LH or RH
side up. In a crawlspace, furnace can either be hung from floor
joist (see Fig. 10) or installed on suitable blocks or pad. (See Fig.
9.) The furnace can be suspended from each corner by hanger bolts
(4 each 3/8-in. all-thread rod) cut to desired length, 1- X 3/8-in. flat
washer, 3/8-in. lockwasher, and 3/8-in. nut. Dimples are provided
for hole locations. (See Fig. 1.)
Since horizontal crawlspace installation is very similar to attic
installation, refer to Step 6. The installation of a sheet metal shield
in front of louvered control panel is covered in Step 6. For a
crawlspace installation, this same sheet metal shield must be
installed above louvered control panel. Extend sheet metal shield
over furnace top far enough to cover gas pipe entry hole.
Step 8—Filter Arrangement
Never operate unit without a filter or with filter access door
removed. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
personal injury, or death.
The 2 factory-supplied filters are shipped in the blower compart-
ment. After return-air duct has been connected to furnace, install
filters in a V-formation inside return-air plenum. See Fig. 11 and
Table 4 for horizontal applications. Horizontal filter retainers must
be field supplied. See Fig. 12 for downflow applications.
Step 9—Gas Piping
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to the current edition of the NFGC.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSC-
NGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Refer to Table 5 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers should
be used to connect to the furnace and to the meter.
If a flexible connector is required or allowed by the authority
having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the
gas valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. outside the furnace
casing.
