COUNTERFLOW FL OOR SUB-BASE KIT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Description
The Counterflow Floor Sub-Base (CFSB) accessory prevents excessive temperatures from reaching combustible materials by
effectively separating the furnace base and plenum from the combustible material. This accessory must be used if the furnace is
installed on a combustible floor. To ensure a safe installation, do
not install the counterflow floor sub-base directly on carpeting,
tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
Follow the instructions below.
KIT Installation
Ensure all parts are included before beginning. If parts are missing contact the dealer where the kit was purchased.
1. Determine the furnace location and select the appropriate
sub-base kit.
2. Cut the floor opening to match dimensions shown in the
table and figure for selected sub-base.
3. Set sub-base into floor opening.
4. Size plenum to match dimensions shown in table for selected sub-base. Bend a 5/8” outward flange on plenum
back and sides. Leave 5/8” straight on plenum front.
5. Insert the plenum up through the sub-base, placing the
supplied insulation strips between the sub-base and the
plenum flanges as shown in figure.
6. Place the remaining supplied insulation strips between the
plenum flanges and the furnace taking care not to damage
insulation.
7. Secure plenum, sub-base and furnace into place.
