Pleaseread these instructions completely and carefully before
installingand operating thefurnace. Please referto the dataon
pages 4 & 5 for performance and dimensional data.
In the United States the installation of the furnace and related
equipmentshall be installedin accordancewith the regulations
ofANSINFPANo. 31 (latestedition), InstallationEquipment, as well as in accordance with local codes.
In Canada, the installation of the furnace and related equipment shall be installed in accordance with the regulations of
CAN/CSA -- B139--M91 (latest edition), InstallationOil Burning Equipment, as well as in accordance with local
codes.
Regulations prescribed in the National Codes and Local regu
lations takeprecedence over the general instructions provided
onthis installation manual. When in doubt,please consult your
local authorities.
All models are shipped assembled and pre--wired except model
P*LBX20F19001 where the blower section is separate. The
blower section is shipped together with the burner section, but
must be assembled together during installation. The furnace
shouldbecarefully inspectedfordamage whenbeingunpacked.
The maximum hourly heat loss for each heated space shall be
calculated in accordance with the procedures described in the
following manuals.
In the United States ACCA Manual “J”. titled, “Load Calcula
tion”published by theAir Conditioning Contractors ofAmerica,
describes a suitable procedure for calculating the maximum
hourly heat loss.
InCanada, usethe Heating,Refrigeration andAir Conditioning
Institute of Canada (HRAI), or by any other method which is
suitable for local conditions, provided the results obtained are
insubstantial agreement with andnot less than thoseobtained
using the procedure described in the manual.
LOCATION OF UNIT
The furnace shouldbe located such that the flue connection to
the chimney is short, direct and consists of as few elbows as
possible.Whenpossible, theunit shouldbe centralizedwith re
spect to the supply and return air duct work. A central location
minimizes the trunk duct sizing. .
The minimum installation clearances are listed in Table 1.

AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS
If the furnace is used in conjunction with air conditioning, the
furnace shall be installed in parallel with or upstream from the
evaporator coil to avoid condensation in the heat exchanger.
In a parallel installation, the dampers or air controlling means
must prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damp
ersare manually operated, theremust be a meansof control to
prevent the operation of either system unless the dampers are
in the full heat or full cool position.
The air heated by the furnace shall not pass through a refrig
eration unit unless the unit is specifically approved for such
service.
The blower speed must be checked and adjusted to compen
satefor the pressure drop causedby the evaporator coil. Refer
toPage 12 for recommended wiring andelectrical connections
of the air conditioning controls.
COMBUSTION AIR
Ifthefurnaceisinstalled ina closetorutility room,two openings
must be provided connecting to a well ventilated space (full
basement,living room or other room opening thereto,but not a
bedroom or bathroom).
One openingshall be located above the level of the upper vent
opening and one opening below the combustion airinletopen
ing in the front of the furnace. Each opening shall have a mini
mum free area of 1
1
square inches per 1,000 Btu/h of total
2
input rating of all appliances installed in the room.
For furnaces located in buildings of unusually tight construc-
tion, such as those with high quality weather stripping, caulking, windows and doors, or storm sashed windows, or where
basement windows are well sealed, a permanent opening
communicating with a well ventilated attic or with the outdoors
shall be provided, using a duct if necessary.
1
The duct opening shall have a free area of 1
square inches
2
per 1,000 Btu/h of total input rating of all appliances to be installed. When a furnace is installed in a full basement, infiltra
tion is normally adequate to provide air for combustion and
draftoperation.Furnace roomsunder 700sq. ft.(65m

automatically be treated as confined space.
DOWNFLOW/HORIZONTAL FURNACES
Downflow/horizontal models (P*DHX12F08001 & P*
DHX16F12001) are factory shipped for downflow installation.

For applying the furnace in a horizontal left or horizontal right
application follow these steps.
1. Rotate the furnace 90 degrees to the desired position.
2. Remove three nuts and washers fastening the oil burner
assemblyto thefurnace. Rotatethe oilburner assemblyto
an upright position (ignition transformer and/or protector
relay control should be on top).
3. Realign the oil burner assembly to the combustion cham-
5. Remove the screws securing the flue collar to the furnace
and then rotate the flue collar 90 degrees, such that the
venting attaches to the top.
6. Secure the flue collar to the furnace, then reinstall the flue
collar cover.
7. Horizontal-right applications using model P*DHX12F080
-
alsorequirerelocating thelimit controlto thealternative lo
cation near the top of the unit (refer to Figure 2).
For non-suspended horizontal applications, maintain clear
ances as shown on Table 1. Installation on a combustible floor
requires a clearance of 1". This can be done by using non-combustibles such as 1" channel iron or similar material. The
furnacemust be supported in such a wayto prevent twisting or
sagging of the cabinet.
For suspended horizontal applications maintain clearance as
shown in Table 3. Remove the four circular knockouts on the
top panel and the four knockouts on the bottom panel.
The removedknockoutsallow 3/8" threaded rod to be inserted
through the interior of the furnace. Refer to Figure 2.
Use care when inserting rods since the foil backed insulation
can be easily ripped and torn. Secure the furnace with 2" mini
mum slotted angle or equilavent. The furnace must be sup
ported in such a way to prevent sagging or twisting of the
cabinet.
