,
•Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed
or existing air distribution system.
•Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the
furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is
heating.
•Provide provisions for venting combustion products
outdoors through a proper venting system. Special
consideration should be given to vent/flue pipe routing
and combustion air intake pipe when applicable. Refer
to V ent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe -T erminationLocations for appropriate termination locations and to
determine if the piping system from furnace to
termination can be accomplished within the guidelines
given. NOTE: The length of flue and/or combustion
air piping can be a limiting factor in the location of the
furnace.
•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 Condensate Drain Lines and T rap for further details.
•Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the
furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can
expose building occupants to gas combustion products
that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to
Combustion and V entilation Air Requirements.
•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" larger than the base
of the furnace. Refer to the Horizontal Applicationsand Considerations for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
•Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed
directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material.
The only combustible material allowed is wood.
•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:
permanent wave solutions
carbon tetrachloride
deicing salts or chemicals
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
paint removers
cements and glues
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
water softening chemicals
halogen type refrigerants
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
printing inks
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
•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
6
enclosed non-directvent furnace has an adequate supply
of combustion air , vent from a nearby uncontaminated
room or from outdoors. Refer to the Combustion andVentilation Air Requirements for details.
•If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling coil
unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the
cooling coil unit. Premature heat exchanger failure will
result if the cooling unit is placed ahead of the furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the
minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than
furnace width minus 1”. Additionally, a coil installed
above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow
furnace may be the same width as the furnace or
may be one size larger than the furnace. Example:
a “C” width coil may be installed with a “B” width
furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil and
furnace must face the same direction.
•If the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
position the furnace so that the burners and ignition
source are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm)
above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical
damage by vehicles.
•If the furnace is installed horizontally , ensure the access
doors are not on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side
of the furnace.
•Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that
serves a separate appliance designed to burn solid
fuel.
•On Counterflow Installations, the air conditioning
coil must be downstream on the supply (positive)
side of the furnace heat exchanger .
•Counterflow Installation over a noncombustiblefloor. Before setting the furnace over the plenum
opening, ensure the surface around the opening is
smooth and level. A tight seal should be made
between the furnace base and floor by using a
silicone rubber caulking compound or cement grout.
•Counterflow Installation over a combustible floor. If
installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary ,
use an accessory subbase (see Specification Sheet
applicable for your model for details.) A special accessory
subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit
installations over any combustible material including
wood. Refer to subbase instructions for installation
details. Follow the instructions with the subbase for
proper installation. Do not install the furnace directly
on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other
than wood flooring. (NOTE: The subbase will not be
required if an air conditioning coil is installed between
the supply air opening on the furnace and the floor .)

A furnace installed in a confined space (i.e., a closet or utility
room) must have two ventilation openings with a total minimum
free area of 0.25 square inches per 1,000 BTU/hr of furnace
input rating. Refer to Specification Sheet applicable to your model
for minimum clearances to combustible surfaces. One of the
ventilation openings must be within 12 inches of the top; the
other opening must be within 12 inches of the bottom of the
confined space. In a typical construction, the clearance between
the door and door frame is usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested
as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust
fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use
the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CSA B149.1-15 Installation Codes.
EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting sys-
tem serving other appliances, the venting system may be too
large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the
American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for
Gas-Fired Central F urnaces ANSI Z21.47, CSA-2.3 latest edition
Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other
appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-15 and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause
an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
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:
•Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under
cabinets.
•Hot or cold air from registers.
•Radiant heat from the sun.
•Light fixtures or other appliances.
•Radiant heat from a fireplace.
•Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.
•Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such as
an outside wall.
Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for
mounting instructions and further precautions.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously .
7. T est for spillage from draft hood appliances at the draft
hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFP A 54 and/or National Gas and P ropane Installation
Code CSA B149.1-15.
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 gas fired
and other fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air
out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces,
etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air .
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper
combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building
occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.
If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other
gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other
appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15 Installation
Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for
determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.

Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace
area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly
to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or
crawl spaces.

the drain trap. Additionally, the appropriate downward piping
slope must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain location. Refer to Condensate Drain Trap and Lines for further de-
tails. If the drain trap and drain line will be exposed to temperatures near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken
to prevent condensate from freezing.
HORIZONTAL FURNACE LEVELING
Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must be
level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should have a
slight tilt from back to front with the access doors downhill
from the back panel approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches. The
slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in
the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front
cover.
ALTERNATE ELECTRICALAND GAS LINE CONNECTIONS
This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line
connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications
the connections can be made either through the “top” or “bottom” of the furnace.
DRAIN PAN
A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a
conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area
under the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).
For installations above 7000 feet, please refer to the furnace
Specification Sheets for required kit(s).
Contact the distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate
manufacturer’ s kits for propane gas and/or high altitude installations. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and
proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by
a qualified installer , or service agency .

This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural
gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an
orifice and spring change to compensate for the energy content
difference between natural and propane gas.
High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch
and an orifice/spring change. These changes are necessary to
compensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the
gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude. For furnaces
being converted to LP gas, it is strongly recommended that
a LPLP03 kit also be installed. The use of this kit will prevent
the furnace from firing when the LP gas supply pressure is
too low to support proper combustion.
. THE
This manual will refer to the pipe that discharges products
of combustion to the outdoors as the “vent” pipe or “flue”
pipe. The pipe that supplies air for combustion to the furnace will be referred to as the “intake” pipe or “combustion
air” pipe.
A condensing gas 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 or ABS are typically used
as venting and intake pipe materials. In Canada, ABS is not
an approved vent pipe material but it is permissible to use
as combustion air pipe material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue® by
Centrotherm Eco Systems and PolyP ro® by M&G Duravent are
also approved vent and combustion air materials for installations in the U.S.A. and Canada. Manufacturers Installation
instructions for these products must be followed. These products have specific instructions for installing, joining and terminating. Do not mix materials or components of one manufacturer with materials or components of another manufacturer.
All furnaces are manufactured with 2" vent / intake pipe and
connectors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe,
10
the transition from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the
furnace as practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to T ype 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 described 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 connectors” 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 flue 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.
DUAL CERTIFICATION: NON-DIRECT/DIRECT VENT
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct
vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-
direct vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a
direct vent installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a com-
bustion air intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for
details concerning piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and terminations.
pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if used in Canada, must be
CSA listed. Solvent cement for ABS to ABS joints must meet
ASTM D2235 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA listed. The
solvent cement for the PVC to ABS transition joint must meet
ASTM D3138. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM
D2661 and ASTM D3311 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA
listed. Carefully follow the manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
All 90° elbows must be medium radius (1/4 bend DWV) or long
radius (Long sweep 1/4 bend DWV) types conforming to ASTM
D3311. A medium radius (1/4 bend DWV) elbow measures 3 1/
16” minimum from the plane of one opening to the center line of
the other opening for 2” diameter pipe, and 4 9/16” minimum
for 3” pipe.
PROPER VENT/FLUEAND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING PRACTICES
Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace
performance. The length, diameter , and number of elbows of the
vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when applicable) affects
the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All
piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and these
instructions.
Some models require the use of 3” pipe. Do not transition
from a 2” to 3” pipe in a horizontal section of pipe as this
may create a water trap.

Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit
sagging, joint separation, and/or detachment from the furnace.
Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be supported every three
to five feet and must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward
slope, back towards the furnace, to properly return condensate
to the furnace’s drain system. Allowances should be made for
minor expansion and contraction due to temperature variations.
For this reason, particular care must be taken to secure piping
when a long run is followed by a short offset of less than 40
inches.
Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. All vent/flue piping exposed to freezing temperatures
below 35°F for extended periods of time must be insulated with
1/2” thick closed cell foam. Also all vent/flue piping exposed
outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or
in unheated areas) must be insulated with 1/2” thick closed cell
foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

CANADIAN VENT PIPE & COMBUSTION AIR PIPE REQUIRE-
MENTS
All installations in Canada must conform to the requirements
of CAN/CSA B149.1-15 code. All vent components,including
primer and cement, must be listed to ULC S636. The certified pipe and fittings should be clearly marked with the
ULC standard “S636”. The primer and cement used must be
of the same manufacturer as the vent system. For Royal
Pipe System 636; use GVS-65 Primer (Purple) and GVS-65
PVC Solvent Cement. For IPEX System 636, use PVC/CPVC
Primer, Purple or clear . Use PVC Solvent Cement (Gray). For
Canadian installations, ABS may be used as a combustion
air pipe only . ABS is not an approved vent material in Canada.
If ABS is used as a combustion air pipe, it must be CSA
certified. Always follow the manufacturer ’ s instructions in
the use of primer and cement. Do not use primer and cement around potential sources of ignition. Do not use primer
or cement beyond its expiration date. The safe operation,
as defined by ULC S636, of the vent system is based on
following these installation instructions, the vent system
manufacturer’ s installation instructions, and proper use of
primer and cement. It is recommended under this standard,
that the vent system be checked once a year by qualified
12
service personnel. All fire stops and roof flashings used with
this system must be UL listed. Acceptability under CAN/CSA
B149.1-15 is dependent upon full compliance with all installation instructions. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (gas inspection authority, municipal building department, fire department, etc.) before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit. *IPEX System 636™ is atrademark of IPEX Inc. Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS. The vent can be run through an
existing unused chimney provided the space between the
vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and closed with a
weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
STANDARD FURNACE CONNECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping
connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and adequately
supported.
VENT/FLUE PIPE
The vent pipe outlet is sized to accept 2” pipe. Secure vent/
flue pipe directly into the furnace fitting with the appropriate
glue. Alternately, a small section of 2" pipe may be glued in
the furnace socket and a rubber coupling installed to allow
removal for future service. Combustion Air and Vent piping
should be routed in a manner to avoid contact with refrigerant lines, metering devices, condensate drain lines, etc. If
necessary , clearances may be increased by creating an offset
using two 45 degree elbows. This joint can be rotated on the
fitting to establish maximum clearance between refrigerant
lines, metering devices, and condensate drain lines, etc. This
joint is the equivalent of one 90 deg. elbow when considering
elbow count. (Figure 8A)

On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air
intake coupling by using a take apart rubber coupling supplied
with the furnace or a plastic coupling. Also, the intake coupling may be inverted to allow the intake pipe to be glued
directly to it. After inverting the coupling, secure it to the
furnace top with screws. On counterflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the rubber
coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with the unit. The
counterflow rubber coupling allows service removal of air intake
piping internal to the furnace blower compartment. The combustion air intake pipe can also be secured directly to the
counterflow unit air intake pipe coupling.
COMBUSTION AIR INT AKE OPTIONS: The RF000142 coupling
can be secured directly to the furnace intake coupling if condensation is a concern. If the RF000142 is used on the combustion air inlet, it must be installed with the arrow pointing
up. It should be noted, the combustion air will actually be
moving in a direction opposite of the arrow on the RF000142
coupling. It must have a field supplied, trapped drain tube
free-draining to proper condensate disposal location. A loop
in the drain tube can serve as a trap. The unused RF000142
drain fitting should be capped. (Figure 8B) A tee installed in
the intake pipe is also an acceptable method of catching
condensation. It must have a field supplied, trapped drain
tube or pipe, free-draining to proper condensate disposal
location. A loop in the drain tube can serve as a trap.

NON-DIRECT VENT (SINGLE PIPE) PIPING
Non-directvent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The
vent pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of
the building or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the
building. The vent can also be run through an existing unused
chimney; however , it must extend a minimum of 12 inches above
the top of the chimney . The space between the vent pipe and the
chimney must be closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.
Although non-directvent installations do not require a combus-
tion air intake pipe, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be
attached to the furnace’s combustion air intake if: an upright
installation uses the standard intake location, or a horizontal
installation uses the alternate air intake location. This elbow will
guard against inadvertent blockage of the air intake.

connecting the two couplings. The length of pipe should be the
wall thickness plus the depth of the socket fittings to be installed
on the inside and outside of the wall. The wall penetration
should be sealed with silicone caulking material.
NOTE: Terminate both pipes in the same pressure zone
(same side of roof, no major obstacles between pipes,
etc.).
DIRECT VENT (DUAL PIPE) PIPING
Direct vent installations require both a combustion air intake
and a vent/flue pipe. The pipes may be run horizontally and exit
through the side of the building or run vertically and exit through
the roof of the building. The pipes may be run through an existing unused chimney; however, they must extend a minimum of
12 inches above the top of the chimney . The space between the
pipes and the chimney must be closed with a weather tight,
corrosion resistant flashing. Both the combustion air intake and
a vent/flue pipe terminations must be in the same atmospheric

GENERAL DRAIN INFORMATION
All furnace models come with a factory installed drain trap.
For vertical installations, the trap will remain in the factory
position. All furnace models installed horizontally require

ONDENSA TE DRAIN LINES
A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by
extracting heat from the products of combustion to the point
where condensation takes place. The condensate must be collected in the furnace drain trap and routed to an appropriate
drain location in compliance with local and national codes.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system. Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose hook
ups.
•The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be
used.
•The drain trap must be primed at time of
installation.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location
must meet local and national codes.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location
must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope
toward the drain.
•Do not trap the drain line in any other location
than at the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
•If the drain line is routed through an area which
may see temperatures near or below freezing,
precautions must be taken to prevent condensate
from freezing within the drain line.
& D
RAIN TRAP
Drain the furnace and air conditioning coil if applicable, in
compliance with code requirements. In horizontal installations, a field installed rubber coupling will allow the drain
trap to be removed for cleaning. The drain trap must be
primed before initial furnace start up. When an air conditioning coil drain is connected to the field supplied furnace
drain, it must be vented with an open tee installed at a height
no higher than the bottom of the furnace collector box to
prevent air conditioning condensate from backing up into
the furnace if the common drain became blocked.

A single-stage thermostat with only one heating stage may
be used to control this furnace. The application of a singlestage thermostat offers a timed transition from low to high
fire. The furnace will run on low stage for a fixed period of
time before stepping up to high stage to satisfy the
thermostat’ s call for heat. The delay period prior to stepping up can be set at either a fixed 10 or 20 minute time
delay or a load based variable time between 1 and 12 minutes (AUTO mode). If the AUT O mode is selected, the control
averages the cycle times of the previous three cycles and
uses the average to determine the time to transition from
low stage to high stage.

FOSSIL FUEL APPLICATIONS
This furnace can be used in conjunction with a heat pump in a
fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel application refers to a combined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an outdoor temperature sensor to determine the most cost efficient
means of heating (heat pump or gas furnace).
A heat pump thermostat with three stages of heat is required to
properly use a two-stage furnace in conjunction with a heat pump.
Refer to the fossil fuel kit installation instructions for additional
thermostat requirements.
Strictly follow the wiring guidelines in the fossil fuel kit installation instructions. All furnace connections must be made to the
furnace two-stage integrated control module and the “FURNACE”
terminal strip on the fossil fuel control board.

TWINNING
Using the “TWIN” terminals and proper wiring enables two
*MEC96 furnaces of the same model and size to be twinned.
T winning allows simultaneous operation of two furnaces and
forces the indoor blower motors of each furnace to operate
synchronously into a common duct system. Using the twinning function will require only field installed wiring with no
external kits or parts.
·The staging DIP switches and speed tap DIP switches
must be set the same on both furnaces.
NOTE: Each furnace must be connected to it’ s own
115 VAC power supply . The L1 connection to each
furnace must be in phase (connected to circuit
breakers on the same 115 V AC service panel phase
leg). T o verify that the furnaces are in phase, check
from L1 to L1 on each furnace with a voltmeter. If
the furnaces are in phase, the voltage between both
furnaces will be ZERO.

HIGH ALTITUDE DERATE
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate
High Altitude orifice kit must be applied. This is required due to
the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and
combustion air as altitude increases. The kit will provide the
proper design certified input rate within the specified altitude
range.
High altitude kits are purchased according to the installation
altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas. Consult the
furnace Specification Sheet for appropriate kits.
Do not derate the furnace by adjusting the manifold pressure to
a lower pressure than specified on the furnace rating plate. The
combination of the lower air density and a lower manifold pressure will prohibit the burner orifice from drawing the proper
amount of air into the burner . This may cause incomplete combustion, flashback, and possible yellow tipping.
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas in
an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If the gas is
artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be determined based upon the BTU/ft3 content of the derated gas and
the altitude. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFP A 54/ANSI
Z223.1, and information provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice size.
A different pressure switch may be required at high altitude regardless of the BTU/ft3 content of the fuel used. Consult the
furnace Specification Sheet for pressure switch.

furnace operation by the integrated control module. As shipped,
the valve is configured for natural gas. The valve is field convertible for use with propane gas by replacing the regulator spring
with a propane gas spring from an appropriate manufacturer’ s
propane gas conversion kit. Taps for measuring the gas supply
pressure and manifold pressure are provided on the valve.
The gas valve has a manual ON/OFF control located on the valve
itself. This control may be set only to the “ON” or “OFF” position. Refer to the lighting instructions label or Startup Procedure& Adjustment for use of this control during start up and shut
down periods.
GAS PIPING CONNECTIONS
The gas piping supplying the furnace must be properly sized based
on the gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas, and length
of the run. The gas line installation must comply with local codes,
or in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

T o connect the furnace to the building’ s gas piping, the installer
must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve,
and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the
installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2"
pipe to a larger pipe size.
The following stipulations apply when connecting gas piping. Refer to Gas Piping Connections figure for typical gas line connections to the furnace.
•Gas piping must be supported external to the furnace
cabinet so that the weight of the gas line does not
distort the burner rack, manifold or gas valve.
• Use black iron or steel pipe and fittings for building piping.
Where possible, use new pipe that is properly chamfered,
27
reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If old pipe is used,
be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips,
and old pipe joint compound.
• Use pipe joint compound on male threads ONL Y. Always
use pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that is APPROVED
FOR ALL GASSES. DO NOT apply compound to the first
two threads.
• Use ground joint unions.
• Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can
enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of
three inches long.
• Install a 1/8" NPT pipe plug fitting, accessible for test
gage connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace.
• Always use a back-up wrench when making the connection
to the gas valve to keep it from turning. The orientation
of the gas valve on the manifold must be maintained as
shipped from the factory. Maximum torque for the gas
valve connection is 375 in-lbs; excessive over-tightening
may damage the gas valve.
• Install a manual shutoff valve between the gas meter and
unit within six feet of the unit. If a union is installed, the
union must be downstream of the manual shutoff valve,
between the shutoff valve and the furnace.
• Tighten all joints securely .
• Connect the furnace to the building piping by one of the
following methods:
–Rigid metallic pipe and fittings.
–Semi-rigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings.
Aluminum alloy tubing must not be used in exterior
locations. In order to seal the grommet cabinet
penetration, rigid pipe must be used to reach the
outside of the cabinet. A semi-rigid connector to the
gas piping may be used from there.
• Use listed gas appliance connectors in accordance with
their instructions. Connectors must be fully in the same
room as the furnace.
• Protect connectors and semirigid tubing against physical
and thermal damage when installed. Ensure aluminumalloy tubing and connectors are coated to protect against
external corrosion when in contact with masonry , plaster ,
or insulation, or subjected to repeated wetting by liquids
such as water (except rain water), detergents, or sewage.

GAS PIPING CHECKS
Before placing unit in operation, leak test the unit and gas connections.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved testing methods.
NOTE: Never exceed specified pressures for testing. Higher
pressure may damage the gas valve and cause subsequent
overfiring, resulting in heat exchanger failure.
Disconnect this unit and shutoff valve from the gas supply piping
system before pressure testing the supply piping system with
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
Isolate this unit from the gas supply piping system by closing its
external manual gas shutoff valve before pressure testing supply
piping system with test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.48 kPA).
The gas piping may enter the left or right side of the furnace
cabinet. The installer must supply rigid pipe long enough to reach
the outside of the cabinet to seal the grommet cabinet penetration. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside the cabinet per local codes. 1/2” NPT pipe and fittings are
required. For models with an “L” shaped manifold, a 4 1/2”
long nipple is required. For models with a hook shaped manifold, a 2” long nipple is required.
A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside
the cabinet per local codes. From the elbow, the length of
pipe and the fittings required will vary by the side chosen,

DUCTWORK - AIR FLOW
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for
the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.
Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets
No. 90A and 90B.
A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect
a propane gas leak. Rust can reduce the level of odorant in propane gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local
propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning
system. If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions listed in the Safety Considerations section of this manual.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 10 ”
WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. V aporization rate, depending on temperature of the
liquid, and “wetted surface” area of the container or
containers.
2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is
recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between
second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size
will depend on length of pipe run and total load of all
appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available
from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used.
Always use a pipe thread sealant approved for all gases.
Refer to the this illustration for typical propane gas installations
and piping.

A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be at-
tached to the back of the furnace. For upflow installations requiring 1800 CFM or more, use either two side returns or bottom
return or a combination of side /bottom. Flexible joints may be
used for supply and return connections to reduce noise transmission. T o prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air
or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be
installed between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a
room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber .
CHECKING DUCT STATIC
Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external duct static) rating.

.
T otal external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers
must all be considered when reading your total external static
pressure. The supply duct pressure must be read between
the furnace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken
by removing the “A” shaped block off plate from the end on
the coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off
plate. Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up
the test hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be read between the filter and the furnace blower .
Too much external static pressure will result in insufficient
air that can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause
limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.

T o determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as
follows;
1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined manometer) to measure the static pressure of the
return duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner
coil or Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the
furnace, the readings must also include theses components,
as shown in the following drawing.
4. Consult proper tables for the quantity of air .
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive
Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is .4” w .c.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -.1" w .c.
static reading from supply duct = .3" w .c.
total external static pressure on this system = .4" w .c.

BOTTOM RETURN AIR OPENING [UPFLOW MODELS]
The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance
and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening
in the base pan. T o remove, simply press out the lanced sections
by hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal
over the duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and
remove the sheet metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the opening, cut the sheet metal along the scribe lines to
free the duct flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange
as a guide, unfold the duct flanges around the perimeter of the
opening using a pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs.
NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by approximately 18% if duct
flanges are not unfolded. This could cause performance issues
and noise issues.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream
side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating
element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other
means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the outlet
air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is
installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can
be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling
probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must
be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

UPRIGHT INSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in the central return register or a side panel external filter
rack kit (upflows). As an alternative a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as the requested filter . Consider
installing an air cleaner with deep-pleated media filter at
the time of furnace installation. A deep-pleated filter with a
MERV rating of 8 (minimum) will often provide better filtration to protect equipment and the air distribution system
than a standard 1" filter and often has lower static pressure
loss than a 1" filter . Also a deep-pleated filter will typically
require less frequent replacement intervals. Avoid using
highly restrictive 1" filters which produce static pressure
loss greater than .25" W.C. In some installations the minimum filter size required will not lend itself to a filter installation on the side of the furnace. The installation of a centrally installed air cleaner cabinet or a return duct filter installation may offer more practicality .
Clean Comfort™ brand MERV 11 air cleaners have 5¼”
media filters and are available in the following configurations. Consult your distributor for information on our
complete line of IAQ Clean Comfort™ products.
The figure below shows possible filter locations.

Propane GasMinimum: 11.0" w.c.Maximum: 13.0" w.c.
The actual gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater
than that specified on the unit rating plate. T o measure natural
gas input using the gas meter , use the following procedure.
1. T urn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances
except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating a t high fire rate, time
and record one complete revolution of the gas meter dial
measuring the smallest quantity , usually the dial that
indicates 1/2 cu. ft. per revolution. You will use this
number to calculate the quantity of gas in cubic ft. if
the furnace would consume if it ran steadily for one
hour (3600 seconds).
3. If the 1/2 cu. ft. dial was used, multiply your number
x 2.
T emperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit
rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger . An airflow and
temperature rise table is provided in the Specification Sheet
applicable to your model. Determine and adjust temperature
rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten
minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct dampers
are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as close
to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must not be
influenced by radiant heat by being able to “see” the heat
exchanger.
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air
temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow
adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower
speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise. Refer
to Startup Procedure and Adjustment -Circulator BlowerSpeeds for speed changing details.

revolution of the 1/2 ft. dial (23 x 2 = 46).
This tells us that at this rate, it would take 46 seconds to
consume one cu. ft. of gas. 3600 / 46 = 78.
This tells us that in one hour , the furnace would consume 78
cu. ft. of gas.
The typical value range for 1 cu. ft. of natural gas is around
1000 BTU. Check with your gas utility, if possible. In this
example, the furnace is consuming 78,000 BTUH.
NOTE: The final manifold pressure cannot vary by more
than ± 0.3” w .c. for Natural and + 0.5” for LP from

S
AFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and
proper furnace operation. These circuits serve to control any
potential safety hazards and serve as inputs in the monitoring
and diagnosis of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously monitored during furnace operation by the integrated control module.
INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE
The integrated control module is an electronic device which, if a
potential safety concern is detected, will take the necessary precautions and provide diagnostic information through an LED.
PRIMARY LIMIT
The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and
monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is a
normally-closed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor . The limit guards against overheating as a result
of insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger .
50
AUXILIARY LIMIT
The auxiliary limit controls are located on or near the circulator
blower and monitors blower compartment temperatures. They
are a normally-closed (electrically), manual-reset sensors. These
limits guard against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
ROLLOUT LIMIT
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/manifold
assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are normallyclosed (electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard
against burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat
exchanger.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation) negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor
the airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat
exchanger via pressure taps located on the induced draft blower
and the coil front cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat
exchanger and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
FLAME SENSOR
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded
object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.
CHECKING FLAME SIGNAL
Flame current can be measured in two ways:
1. Putting a D.C. microamp meter in series with the flame
rod
2. Putting a D.C. volt meter across the two solder pads
in the flame current section of the control board.
1 D.C. volt = 1 microamp. See Figure 41.
Flame Current
Solder Pads
The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold
assembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to determine the presence or absence of flame.

ROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body’ s static electricity before touching unit.
An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By
putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the
integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace away from the control. Any tools held in a person’ s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not
move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
Figure 41
LIMIT FAULT CODES
If the control detects the high limit circuit open, the RED
LED will flash FOUR times and energize the inducer and indoor blower .
If the limit circuit opens five times within a single call for
heat, the furnace will go into lockout for one hour . The RED
LED will display a FOUR flash code during this time. The
control board can be reset by cycling 115 volt power to the
furnace.
51
If the limit circuit opens and does not close within five minutes, the control assumes the blower has failed the RED LED
will flash ELEVEN times.
If the limit circuit opens and does not close within fifteen
minutes, the control assumes the manual rollout or fuse has
opened and the RED LED will flash FIVE times. The control
will enter a one hour lockout and the inducer will run continuously.
In an open limit condition the red LED will flash as described
above but the error code will not be stored in memory until
the limit resets or until 15 minutes has elapsed. So if the
limit resets in less than 5 minutes a four flash code will be
stored. If the limit resets in more than 5 but less than 15
minutes, an eleven flash code will be stored. If the limit is
still open after 15 minutes, a five flash code will be stored.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart in the back of this manual
for assistance in determining the source of unit operational problems.
External Lockout
-A control lockout resulting from an external fault
sensed by the control, such as an unsuccessful recycle
or retry period, or a limit trip. Once in External
Lockout, the control will shut down for a period of
one hour before attempting another trial for ignition.
Internal Lockout
-A failure internal to the control board.
FAULT RECALL
Retrieving Fault Codes
T o retrieve fault codes, push and release the “LAST ERROR”
button for more than 1/5 second and less than 5 seconds
(the LED will indicate this period by solid GREEN for 1/5
second to 5 seconds). The LED will flash up to five stored
fault codes, beginning with the most recent. If there are no
fault codes in memory , the LED will flash two green flashes.
The control will flash the most recent error first and the
oldest error last. If multiple faults exist there will be 2 seconds between codes. Solid LED error codes will not be displayed.
Fault Code Reset
To clear the fault code memory, push and hold the “LAST
ERROR” button for more than 5 seconds and less than 10
seconds (the LED will indicate this period by RAPID GREEN
FLASH for 5 seconds to 10 seconds). The LED will flash three
green flashes when the memory has been cleared.
The ignition control is equipped with a momentary push button switch that can be used to display on the diagnostic LED
the last five faults detected by the control. The control must
be in Standby Mode (no thermostat inputs) to use the feature. Depress the push button switch for approximately 2
52
seconds. Release the switch when the LED is turned off. The
diagnostic LED will then display the flash codes associated
with the last five detected faults. The order of display is the
most recent fault to the least recent fault.
RESETTING FROM LOCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve
ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat. It
is characterized by a non-functioning furnace and a one flash
diagnostic LED code. If the furnace is in “lockout”, it can be
reset in any of the following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will
automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal
operations following a one hour lockout period.
2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 115 volt power
to the furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so
that there is no longer a call for heat then reset to
previous setting. Interrupt thermostat signal to the
furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the
T roubleshooting Chart for aid in determining the cause.

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly
invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame
sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and
will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a
qualified servicer using steel wool.
