See Fig. 3 for required clearances to combustibles.
Maintain a 1-in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to
supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914 mm)
horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for
further requirements.
These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,
tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring.
In downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer's Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when
Coil Box Part No. KCAKC is used.
The 58MXB 040 through 120 size units are CSA design-certified
for use in manufactured (mobile) homes when installed as a
2-pipe (direct vent) furnace and a factory accessory conversion
kit is used. The 140 size unit is NOT design-certified for use in

Applications section.
5 °
Install this furnace only in a location and position as specified in
LOCATION and INSTALLATION sections of these instructions.
Always provide adequate combustion and ventilation air as
specified in section Combustion Air and Vent Pipe Systems of
these instructions to the furnace.
Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Connect this
furnace to an approved vent system only, as specified in the
Combustion Air and Vent piping sections of these instructions.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for detection of leaks to
check all connections as specified in the (iAS PIPING section of
these instructions.
Always install the furnace to operate within the furnace's
intended rise range with a duct system which has an external
static pressure within the allowable range as specified in the SET
TEMPERATURE RISE section of these instructions. See furnace
rating plate.
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 ducts sealed to the
furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing
the furnace.
A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed as specified in the Hazardous Locations section of these
instructions.
The furnace may be used for construction heat provided that the
furnace installation and operation complies with the first
CAUTION in the LOCATION section of these instructions.
This gas furnace may be used for construction heat provided that:
• The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring,
piping, air filters, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space
containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure
condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a
flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products into
the structure.
• The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot
wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure with out
thermostatic control.
• Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other
construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of
drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and
plugging of furnace components.
• The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained
between. 5 F (13°C) and 80°F (27°C), with no evening
setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure
is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per
our installation instructions.
• The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the
furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been set to the
nameplate value.
• The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
• The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to
remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC
system components after construction is completed.
• After construction is complete, verify furnace operating
conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature rise and
venting, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
PRECAUTIONS
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may damage furnace
components.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take
precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect
the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent
electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools which
are held during the procedure. These precautions will help to
avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge by putting
the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
-7-
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY'S ELECTROSTATIC
CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person's hand during grounding will be
satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing to
recharge your body with static electricity (for example;
DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch
ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your body
with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted
metal surface of the furnace again before touching control
or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled
(ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container,
discharge your body's electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control from damage. If the control is to be
installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before
bringing the control or yourself in contact with the
furnace. Put all used and new controls into containers
before touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.
MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor
property damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
INTRODUCTION
The model 58MXB 4-way multipoise, Gas-Fired, Category IV,
condensing furnace is available in model sizes ranging from input
capacities of 40,000 to 138,000 Btuh as direct vent (2-pipe)
application, and in model sizes ranging from input capacity of
40,000 to 120,000 Btuh as non-direct vent (1-pipe) application.
APPLICATIONS
Step 1--General
Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces
installed in any of the 4 applications shown in Fig. 1. All drain
and pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 6. See
appropriate application instructions for these procedures.
Step 2--Upflow Applications
An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located
below combustion and controls section of furnace, and
conditioned air is discharged upwards.
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATION
(FACTORY-SHIPPED ORIENTATION)
The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and
factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory-supplied
tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the
desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate
Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation) section for drain tube
extension details. (See Fig. 5.)
CONDENSATE TRAP TUBING
(FACTORY-SHIPPED ORIENTATION)
NOTE: See Fig. 6 or tube routing label on main furnace door to
confirm location of these tubes.
1. Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port,
and Pressure Switch Tubes. These tubes should be factory
attached to condensate trap and pressure switch ready for
use in UPFLOW applications. These tubes can be
identified by their connection location and also by a color
label on each tube. These tubes are identified as follows:
collector box drain tube (blue label), inducer housing drain
tube (violet label or molded), relief port tube (green label),
and pressure switch tube (pink label).
2. Condensate Trap Drain Tube
The condensate trap drain connection must be extended
for field attachment by doing the following:
f. Determine location of field drain connection. (See Fig.
2 or 6.)
NOTE: If internal filter or side Filter/Media Cabinet is used,
drain tube should be located to opposite side of casing from
return duct attachment to assist in filter removal.
g. Remove and discard casing drain hole plug button
from desired side.
h. Install drain tube coupling grommet (factory-supplied
in loose parts bag) in selected casing hole.
i. Slide drain tube coupling (factory-supplied in loose

LOCATION
Step 1--General
This furnace must
• be installed so the electrical components are protected
from water.
• not be installed directly on any combustible material other than
wood flooring (refer to SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
• be located so combustion-air and vent pipe maximum lengths
are not exceeded. Refer to Table 11.
• be located where available electric power and gas supplies
meet specifications on the furnace rating plate.
• be attached to an air distribution system and be located as close
to the center of the distribution system as possible. Refer to Air
Ducts section.
• be provided with ample space for servicing and cleaning.
Always comply with minimum fire protection clearances
shown on the furnace clearance-to-combustibles label.
This furnace may be located in a confined space without special
provisions for dilution or ventilation air.
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 ducts sealed to
furnace casing. The ducts terminate outside the space containing
the furnace to ensure there will not be a negative pressure
condition within equipment room or space.
NOTE: For upflow/downflow applications install furnace so that
it is level or pitched forward within 1/2-in. (13 mm) for proper
furnace operation. For horizontal applications pitch 1/4-in. (6
mm) minimum to 1/2-in. (13 mm) maximum forward to ensure
proper condensate drainage from secondary heat exchangers.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
This gas furnace may be used for construction heat
provided that:
-The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring,
piping, air filters, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space
containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure
condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a
flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products into the
structure.
-The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot
wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure without
thermostatic control.
-Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other
construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of
drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and
plugging of furnace components.
-The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained
between 55°F (13°C) and 80°F (27°C), with no evening
setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the
structure is under construction is deemed to be intermittent
operation per our installation instructions.
-The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the
furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been set to the
nameplate value.
-The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
-The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to
remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC
system components after construction is completed.
-After construction is complete, verify furnace operating
conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature rise and
venting, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property or
unit damage.
If furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the
ambient temperatures may be 32°F (0°C) or lower, freeze
protection measures must be taken. (See Fig. 16.)
Step 2--Furnace Location Relative to Cooling
Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on downstream
side of furnace to avoid condensation in heat exchanger. When
installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or other means used to
control flow of air shall be adequate to prevent chilled air from
entering furnace. If dampers are manually operated, they must be
equipped with a means to prevent operation of either unit, unless
damper is in full-heat or full-cool position.

Step 3--Hazardous Locations
FIRE, EXPLOSION, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
Improper location or inadequate protection could result in fire
or explosion.
When furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be
installed so that burners and ignition sources are located a
minimum of 18 in. (457 mm) above floor. The furnace must
be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
When furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar,
or other building having a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace
must be installed in accordance with NFGC or NSCNGPIC.

section for details.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
• U.S. Installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1-2006, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
• Canadian Installations: Part 8 of the CAN/CSA-B149.1-05,
Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances and all
authorities having jurisdiction.
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in reduced furnace
component life.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements could corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products.
The following types of furnace installations may require
OUTDOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Laundry rooms
• Hobby or craft rooms, and
• Chemical storage areas
If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used
for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required
for combustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative
pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be
made between the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to
prevent pulling air from the burner area and from draft
safeguard opening.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes
dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make-up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices, in
addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to the Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in the venting section of
these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of
make-up air is available.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume
of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas
appliances installed in the space.
• Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh require
the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR METHOD.
