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 Section V. Combustion and Ventilation

Air Requirements.

о Centrally locate the furnace with

respect to the proposed or existing air distribution system.

о Ensure the temperature of the return

air entering the furnace is between 55 F and 90 F when the furnace is heating.

о Provide provisions for venting

combustion products outdoors through a proper venting system. Special consideration should be given to ventfflue pipe routing and

combustion air intake pipe when

applicable. Refer to Section IX,

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.

о NOTE: The length of flue and/or

cc^bustion air piping can be a

limiting factor in the location of the

furnace.

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 deaners Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals Water softening chem icals Deicing salts or chemicals Carbon tetrachloride Halogen type refrigerants Cleaning solutions (such as

perchloroethylene

Printing inks Paint removers Vanishes Hydrochloric acid Cements and glues

Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes

dryers.

Masonry acid washing materials

o 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 uncontamjnated room or from outdoors. Refer to the Section V. combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements for details.

о 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 Section X. Condensate Drain Lines and Trap for further details.

о Ensure adequate combustion air is

available for the furnace. Improper or insuffícient combustion air can expose building occupants to combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Section V., Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.

о 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 times larger than the base of the furnace.

o If the furnace is used in connection

with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with a cooling unit. Premature heat exchanger failure wilt result if the cooling unit is placed ahead of the furnace.

o If the furnace is installed in a

residential garage, position the furnace so that the burner and ignition source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehides.

Clearances and Accessibility

Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible materials to which this furnace has been design certified. The minimum clearance information for this furnace is provided on the units rating label.

These clearances must be permanently maintained. Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s oil, electrical, and drain trap and drain line connections. If the alternate vent/flue connections are used additional clearance must be provided to accommodate these condifions Section IX, Vent Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe for details.

Appliances that pull air out of the house (exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air.

House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper ccxnbustion of oil fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to combustion products that could include carbon monoxide and cause:

NOTE: In addition to the required

clearances to combustible materials, a minimum of 24 inches service clearance must be available in front of the unit. A clearance of 24 inches at the rear of the unit is also recommended.

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:

o Drafts or dead spots behind doors,

in corners, or under cabinets,

o Hot or cold air from registers, o Radiant heat from the sun. o Light fixtures or other appliances, o Radiant heat from a fireplace,

o Concealed hot or cold water pipes,

or chimneys.

o Unconditioned areas behind the

thermostat, such as an outside wall.

V. COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR REQUIREMENTS

! WARNING

TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, SUFFICIEWT FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF FLUE GASES MUST BE SUPPLIED. MOST HOMES REQUIRE OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO 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 burning appliances.

1. Nausea-Headaches-Dizziness, Flu Like symptoms.

2. Excessive humidity - heavily frosted windows or a moist feeling in the home,

3. Smoke from a fireplace will not draw up the chimney.

4. Flue gases that will not draw up the appliance vent pipe.

Combustion and Ventilation Air

Adequate provisions for combustion air, ventilation of furnace, and dilution of the gases must be made. When a furnace is installed in an unconfined space in a building, it can be assumed that infiltration will be suffident to supply the required air.

If the furnace is installed in a confined space and combustion air is taken from the heated space, the supply air and ventilating air must be through two permanent openings of equal area. A confined space is "a space whose volume is less than SO cubic feet per

1000 BTU per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space." One opening must be within 12" of the ceiling and the other within 12" of the floor. Each opening must have a minimum free area of at least 1 square inch per 1000 BTU per hour of total input rating of all appliances within the space but not less than 100 square inches.

if the furnace is installed in a space within a building of tight construction and air must be supplied from outdoors. In this case, one opening shall be within 12” of the ceiling and the other within 12" of the floor.

If vertical combustion ducts are run, each

opening must have a free area of at least 1 square inch per 4000 BTU per hour.

If horizontal combustion ducts are run, 1 square inch per 2000 BTU per hour of the total input of all appliances Is required.

A return air duct system is reccxnmended.

Where there is no complete return air duct system, a return connection should be run full size to a location outside the confined space and completely sealed so that no air from the confined space can be circulated through the heating duct system.

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL

NOTE: When an existing furnace is

removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances. If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other oil fired appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances.

VI. VENT/FLUE PIPE &

COMBUSTION AIR PIPE

! WARNING

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

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 oil 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 descried 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 connector" 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 tiue 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.
