SPECIFIC SAFETY
1.
Only Natural gas or Propane (LP) gas are approved for use with
this furnace. Refer to the furnace rating plate or Section IV of
these instructions.
2.
Install this furnace only in a location and position as specified in
SECTION I of these instructions.
3.
A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed as specified in SECTION I of these instructions.
RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
&WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious
injury, death or property damage.
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. A fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.
4.
Test for gas leaks as specified in SECTION IX of these instruc-
tions.
5.
Always install the furnace to operate within the furnace's intended
temperature rise range. Only connect the furnace to a duct system
which has an external static pressure within the allowable range,
as specified on the furnace rating plate.
6.
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 may also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
The return air duct system is not required by the furnace manufac-
turer provided the combustion air and vent system have been
installed and maintained as a Sealed Combustion Direct Vent Sys-
tem and provided a return air duct system and return air plenum
are not required by state, local, or regional codes.
kWARNING
Improper installation may damage equipment, can create a shock
hazard, and will void the warranty.
The furnace shall be installed so the electrical components are pro-
tected from water.
The furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or
structures under construction.
Do not test the fuel system at more than 14 inches water column
after furnace has been connected to the fuel line. Such testing may
void the warranty. Any test run above 14 inches water column may
damage the furnace control valve which could cause an explosion,
fire, or asphyxiation.
The following requirements to be met:
a. Clean, outside combustion air is provided to the furnace to
minimize the impact of corrosive adhesives, sealants, and
other construction materials. Drywall dust is a major concern
during construction, which can be pulled into the combustion
air path, leading to plugged heat exchangers, burners, and
inducer assemblies.
b. Filter must be installed in the furnace as specified in the
installation instructions, and must be replaced or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy of the home. Again, drywall dust
is the key issue, as that dust can be pulled into the circulating
blower motor, plugging the motor vents, coating the rotors
and stators, etc. which can lead to a potential fire hazard.
c. The temperature of the return air to the furnace must not be
less than 55° F (13 ° C), with no evening setback or furnace
shutdown, to prevent condensation in the primary heat
exchangers.
d. The air temperature rise must be within the stated rise range
as indicated on the furnace rating plate, and the firing input
rate must be set to the unit nameplate value.
e. The external static pressure of the air distribution system
ductwork must be set for heating operation to be at least 0.10
to 0.20 inches water column, based on the input rate of the
furnace, with the lower value for input rates less than 55,000
btu/hr and the upper value for units with input rates above
100,000 btu/hr.
f. The furnace and ductwork should be thoroughly and com-
pletely cleaned prior to occupancy of the dwelling to insure
the proper operation of the furnace and to avoid potential
health concerns.
7. In Canada refer to the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code,
section on Central Furnaces. When installed in a Manufactured
(Mobile) Home, combustion air shall not be supplied from occu-
pied spaces.
8. The size of the unit should be based on an acceptable heat loss
calculation for the structure. ACCA, Manual J or other approved
methods may be used.
9. Manufactured (Mobile) Home and Modular Home Installation:
This appliance must be installed in a (sealed combustion) configu-
ration using a roof jack vent system. A roof jack is only approved
vent system that can be used to vent this appliance.
10. Modular Home Definition: Factory-built home constructed to the
state, local, or regional code where the house will be located. The
home is transported in one or more modules and joined at the
home site.
11. Manufactured (Mobile) Home Definition: Factory-built home
constructed, transported and installed under the federal building
code administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD Code), rather than to building codes at their
destination. The house is built, transported and installed on a non-
removable chassis.

INSPECTION
As soon as the furnace and/or accessories are received, it should be
inspected for damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of
the damage should be noted on the carrier's freight bill. A separate
request for inspection by the carrier's agent should be made in writing.
Also, before installation the furnace and!or accessories should be
checked for screws or bolts which have loosened in transit or shipping
and spacer brackets the need to be removed.
FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
The furnace shall be located usinq the followinq quidelines:
1. The furnace should be located where the roof jack can be installed
with out major modifications to the roof of the structure.
2. As centralized with the air distribution as possible.
3. Where there is access to fresh air particularly when the blend air
accessory will be installed.
4. Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the confined
space.
5. Where the outdoor roof jack terminal will not be blocked or
restricted. Refer to "VENT CLEARANCES" located in SECTION
VII of these instructions. These minimum clearances must be
maintained through out the installation.
6. Where the unit will be installed in a level position with no more
than 1/4" (0.64 cm) slope side-to-side and front-to-back to provide
a proper roof jack connection and seal.
Installation in freezina temoeratures:
1. Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation facilities
provide for safe limits of ambient temperature under normal oper-
ating conditions. Ambient temperatures may fall below 32 ° F (0° C)
providing the flue temperature does not fall below 260 ° F (127 ° C)
at any point in the flue pipe. If the flue temperature falls below 260 °
F (127 ° C) the flue products will condense in the vent pipe causing
the vent pipe to deteriorate rapidly.
2. Do not allow return air temperature to be below 550 F (13 ° C) for
extended periods. To do so may cause condensation to occur in
the main heat exchanger, leading to premature heat exchanger
failure.
AWARNING
Installation in an ambient below 32°F (0,0 ° C) could create a haz-
ard, resulting in damage, injury or death,
3. If this furnace is installed in an unconditioned space and an
extended power failure occurs, there will be potential damage to
the internal components. Following a power failure situation, do
not operate the unit until inspection and repairs are performed.
Clearances for access:
Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to the unit.
The following minimum clearances are recommended:
1. Twenty-four 24 inches (61 cm) between the front of the furnace
and an adjacent wall or another appliance, when access is
required for servicing and cleaning.
2. Eighteen 18 inches (46 cm) at the side where access is required
for passage to the front when servicing or for inspection or
replacement of flue/vent connections.
In all cases, accessibility clearances shall take precedence over clear-
ances for combustible materials where accessibility clearances are
greater. See Table 1.
AWARNING
Check the rating plate and power supply to be sure that the electri-
cal characteristics match. All models use nominal 115 VAC, 1
Phase 60Hz power supply.
Furnace shall be installed so the electrical components are pro-
tected from water.
Installation in a residential aaraae:

SECTION I1: DUCTWORK
DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION
The duct system's design and installation must:
1. Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within
the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.
2. Be installed in accordance with standards of NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) as outlined in NFPA pamphlets 90A and
90B (latest editions), in Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1-00 Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code. or applicable national, provincial,
or state, and local fire and safety codes.
3. For Manufacture (Mobile) Home and Modular Home Return
Duct System Installations:
The return air duct and the return air plenum are not required by
the furnace manufacturer, provided a return air duct and plenum
are not required by state, local, or regional codes. The only vent
system that is approved for use on this furnace is a Roof Jack
which is a Sealed Combustion Direct Vent System.
4. Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the condi-
tioned space.
CAUTION
The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, down-
stream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat
exchanger, and must comply with (H.U.D.) TITLE 24, PART
3280.709
When the furnace is used in conjunction with a cooling coil, the coil
must be installed parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to
avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow
arrangement is used, dampers or other means used to control airflow
must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If
manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to pre-
vent the furnace or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper
is in full heat or cool position.
DGAA Series
The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow
for the furnace size that is being installed.
Refer to the furnace rating plate for the correct rise range and Table
4 for static pressures.
If the ducts are undersized, the result will be high duct static pres-
sures and/or high temperature rises which can result in a heat
exchanger OVERHEATING CONDITION. This condition can result
in premature heat exchanger failure, which can result in personal
injury, property damage, or death.
HAZARD OF ASPHYXIATION, DO NOT COVER OR RESTRICT
FLOOR OPENING.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly.
The ducts attached to the furnace plenum, should be of sufficient size
so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure
and within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
IIMPORTANT
Fabricate and install an inspection door in the plenum base below
the unff to allow an annual inspection of the heat exchangers. The
inspection door can be fabricated by the following method.
1. Cut a rectangular opening in the plenum base.
2. A sheet metal plate can be made that completely covers the open-
ing in the base.
3. The plate must be secured with screws.
4. This plate must be sealed to prevent leaks.
4 Johnson Controls Unitary Products
AWARNING
The supply air temperature MUST NEVER exceed the Maximum
Supply Air Temperature, specified on the nameplate.
Operating the furnace above the maximum supply air temperature
will cause the heat exchanger to overheat, causing premature heat
exchanger failure. Improper duct sizing, dirty air filters, incorrect
manifold pressure, incorrect gas orifice and/or a faulty limit switch
can cause the furnace to operate above the maximum supply air
temperature. Refer to sections II, III and XI for additional informa-
tion on correcting the problem.
DUCTWGRK INSTALLATION
Air Distribution Systems
For proper air distribution, the supply duct system shall be designed so
that the static pressure does not exceed the listed static pressure rating
on the furnace rating plate.
Three typical distribution systems are illustrated in Figure 2.
Location, size and number of registers should be selected on the basis
of best air distribution and floor plan of the home.
The Air Temperature Rise is to be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise
within the range(s) specified on the furnace rating plate.
129098-UIM-H-1011
DUCT DESIGN - CANADA
Supply duct design shall be in accordance with the latest HRA Digest,
the ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals, or other good engineering prin-
ciples.
NOTE: Refer to HRA Digest Residential Air System Design Manual,
Sections 5 and 6, the requirements of which are summarized as fol-
lows:
1. The kilowatt output of each duct register shall not exceed 2.35 kW.
2. The furnace output should not be more than 20% greater than the
calculated heat loss of the home. If a larger furnace is used, the
duct system shall be capable of the increased air volumes neces-
sary to maintain a maximum air temperature rise of 50° C as the
air passes over the furnace heat exchanger.
3. At least one warm air supply outlet shall be provided in each room.
4. When rooms are located adjacent to the exterior walls, warm air
outlets shall be located so as to bathe at least one exterior wall
and, where practical, a window area with warm air, except for bath-
rooms or kitchens where this might not be practical.
5. Where practical, outlets shall be provided near the exterior doors
of the home.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS - CANADA
Supply air ducts from warm air furnaces having a specified minimum
plenum clearance shall maintain this clearance from combustible mate-
rial for at least the distance specified in CSA Standards C22.2 No. 23 or

1. Make floor cut out as shown in Figure 7.
2. Determine the depth of the floor cavity from the surface of the floor
to the top of the supply air duct and select the appropriate duct
connector from the chart. See Figures 6 and 8.
3. Place locating bracket (supplied with the duct connector) to the

4. Determine which of the four positions the duct connector best cen-
ters over the supply duct and insert it through the floor cut-out.
5. Mark cut-out location on the supply duct and remove the duct con-
nector.
6. Cut out the opening to the supply duct.
7. Bend tabs down through and back up under the supply duct.
8. Secure the duct connector to the floor with nails, flat head screws
or staples.
The duct connector is designed for use on ducts down to 12" in width.
When using the connector on smaller width ducts, there will not be suffi-
cient clearance to bend the tabs on two sides of the duct connector.
In such cases the tabs may be attached to the sides of the duct by
using sheet metal screws or other suitable fasteners. Holes for sheet
metal screws are provided in three (3) tabs on each side of the duct
connector. If more than 3 tabs need to be used to provide a more
secure and air tight connection, the remaining tabs can also be fas-
tened to the duct with screws after drilling the required screw hole.
Furnace and Air Conditioner Installations
If an air conditioner is installed which does not use the blower for air dis-
tribution and operates completely independent of the furnace, the ther-
mostat system must have an interlock to prevent the furnace and air
conditioner from operating at the same time. This interlock system usu-
ally contains a heat-cool switch which must be turned to either HEAT or
COOL to activate either heating or cooling operation, or a positive OFF
switch on the cooling thermostat.
When used in connection with a cooling unit the furnace shall be
installed parallel with or on the upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid
condensation in the heat exchanger.
For installations with a parallel flow arrangement, the furnace must be
equipped with a damper to prevent cold air from being discharged up
around the heat exchanger. Cold air causes condensation inside the
exchanger and can cause it to rust out which can allow products of
combustion to be circulated into the living area by the furnace blower
resulting in possible asphyxiation. An air flow activated automatic
damper, PIN 7900-6771, is available from furnace manufacturer. See
Figure 11.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Remove the front panels and set the furnace onto the duct con-
nector. Slide it back until the rear of the unit engages the Iocator
bracket.
2. Secure the front of the furnace with two screws at the mounting
holes provided.
3. Secure the top of the furnace to a structural member using screw
through the strap at the back of the furnace. Strap may be moved
to any of the holes located along the top back of the furnace.
Installer may provide an equivalent method, such as screws
through the casing side.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly. The
ducts attached to the furnace plenum, should be of sufficient size so
that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and
within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Consideration should be given to the heating capacity required and also
to the air quantity (CFM) required. These factors can be determined by
calculating the heat loss and heat gain of the home or structure. If these
calculations are not performed and the furnace is over-sized, the follow-
ing may result:
1. Short cycling of the furnace.
2. Wide temperature fluctuations from the thermostat setting.
3. Reduced overall operating efficiency of the furnace.
The supply and return duct system must be of adequate size and
designed such that the furnace will operate within the designed air tem-
perature rise range and not exceed the maximum designed static pres-
sure. These values are listed in Table 2.

IMPORTANT
The air temperature rise should be taken only after the furnace has
been operating for at least 15 minutes. Temperatures should be
taken 6" (15.2 cm) past the first bend from the furnace in the supply
duct. The return air temperature must be taken at the return air Iou-
vered door. Return static pressures can be taken by pushing probe
through the air filter on the Iouvered door.
BLEND AIR INSTALLATIONS
If a blend air ventilation system is installed, the 5" (12.7 cm) diameter
knockout in the top cover must be removed. The blend air damper is to
be placed on the top cover and secured with screws as shown in Figure
12. The power wires for the Blend Air Damper are inserted through the
7/8" (2.22 cm) hole in the top cover. The wires to the Blend Air Damper
will be connected as shown in Figure 20. Refer to the Blend Air Installa-
tion Manual to complete the installation.

SECTION IV: FILTERS
FILTER INSTALLATION
All applications require the use of a filter. A standard air filter is located
in the return filter rack on the Iouvered door. The air filter(s) must be
replaced with air filter(s) that are the same size and same type.
Replacement filter size is shown in Table 3.
[ CAUTION
All installations must have a filter instafled.
Downflow Filters:
There are two types of downflow filter racks.
1. FURNACE FILTER RACK: A return filter rack with two standard
throwaway type filters are supplied on all models. The return filter
rack is located on the inside of the Iouvered door. This type of filter
rack is designed for two standard air filters only. Pleated Media or
Washable Filters cannot be used in this filter rack because they
cause too much pressure drop causing a reduction in airflow.
Refer to Figure 13.
2. EXTERNAL RETURN FILTER GRILLE: The second type is an
external return air filter grille that can only be used in applica-
tions where the furnace is installed in a closet. This type of fil-
ter grille is typically installed in a closet door or wall with the filters
located within 12" (30.5 cm) of the return air opening of the fur-
nace. There must be a minimum clearance of 6" (15.2 cm)
between the front of the furnace and the closet door and!or the fur-
nace and the filter grille to prevent the return air flow from being
obstructed. Refer to Table 1 Unit Clearances to Combustibles.
NOTE: Remove air filters inside Iouvered door when using an external
filter grille.
a. If the standard throwaway filter are used the external filter
grille must have a minimum area of 540 in2(3483 cm2) which
would equal a 15" X 36" filter grille.
b. If the Pleated Media or Washable Filters are used the exter-
nal filter grille must have a minimum area of 684 in2 (4413
cm2) which would equal a 18" X 38" filter grille. The increased
area is to reduce the pressure drop across the air filter.
c. Consideration should be given when locating the return filter
grille for maintenance.
d. Any filter that has a large pressure drop should be checked to
be sure the pressure drop caused by the air filter will not pre-
vent the furnace from operating within the rise range, speci-
fied on the rating plate and in Table 7. If the furnace does not
operate within the specified rise range then a larger air filter
or an air filter that has a lower pressure drop must be
installed.

1. All Models shipped with disposable filters mounted inside upper furnace door.
2. Pleated filters have high pressure drop and require cleaning every 60 days.
3. Dirty filters can cause excess heating bills, lower air flow, and reduce heat exchanger life.
SECTION V: GAS LINE INSTALLATION
GAS SAFETY
ADANGER
This furnace is designed to operate on NATURAL GAS or PRO-
PANE GAS ONLY. Do Not Bum any other Fuel in this furnace.
Burning any fuel except NATURAL GAS or PROPANE GAS can
cause premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon
monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, prop-
erty damage and/or death.
ADANGER
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limff the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 PSI (14" w.c. (3.48 kPa). Pressures exceeding
0.5 PSI (14" w.c. (3.48 kPa) at the gas valve will cause damage to
the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to
the furnace or some of its components that will result in property
damage and loss of life.
GAS PIPING
Installation and Checking of Gas Line
Gas Supply piping must be sized in accordance with the recommenda-
tions contained in National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1, NFPA-54)
unless local codes or regulations state otherwise.
Materials used and pipe sizing for U.S. manufactured homes must com-
ply with requirements contained in Manufactured Homes Al19.1, Rec-
reational Vehicles Al19.2 and H.U.D. Title 24, Section 3280.705 and
any local or state codes.
NOTE: The gas line inlet on the gas valve is 1!2-14 N.RT. The gas line
may be installed through the furnace floor or furnace side to the gas
valve.
CAUTION]
If the gas input to the furnace is too great because of excessive gas
pressure, wrong size orifice, high altitude, etc., the burner flame will
be sooty and may produce carbon monoxide, which could result in
unsafe operation, explosion, and/or fire or asphyxiation.
