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 non-installed (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 furnaces near 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 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.
TO THE INSTALLER
Before installing this unit, please read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with specific items which must be ad­hered to, including but not limited to: unit maximum external static pressure, gas pressures, BTU input rating, proper elec­trical connections, circulating air temperature rise, minimum or maximum CFM, and motor speed connections, and venting.

,
Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in Section V,
Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.
• Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed or existing air distribution system.
The rated heating capacity of the furnace should be greater than or equal to the total heat loss of the area to be heated. The total heat loss should be calculated by an approved method or in accordance with “ASHRAE Guide” or “Manual J-Load Cal­culations” published by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.

V
• Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the furnace is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is heating.
• Provisions must be made for venting combustion products outdoors through a proper venting system. The length of flue pipe could be a limiting factor in locating the furnace.
• 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 Ventilation Air Requirements section.
• The furnace must be level. If the furnace is to be set on a floor that may become wet or damp at times, the furnace should be supported above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the furnace.
• 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:
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
water softening chemicals deicing salts or chemicals
carbon tetrachloride
halogen type refrigerants
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inks
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
and masonry acid washing materials
• If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling unit coil. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling unit coil is placed ahead of the furnace.
• 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, the furnace access doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally into the heat exchanger. Do not install the unit with the access doors 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.
• For counterflow installations, the air conditioning coil must be downstream from the heat exchanger of the furnace.
• Counterflow installation over a noncombustible floor . 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 silicon 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 to your model for det ails). A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material including wood. Follow the instructions with the subbase for proper installations. 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.

INSTALLATION POSITIONS
An upflow furnace may be installed in an upright position or horizontal on either the left or right side panel. Do not install this furnace on its back. For vertically installed upflow furnaces, return air ductwork may be attached to the side panel(s) and/or basepan. For horizontally installed upflow furnaces, return air ductwork must be attached to the basepan. For counterflow furnaces, return ductwork must be attached to the top end of the blower compartment.
NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION (*MVC8 MODELS ONLY)
Line contact to framing is permitted when installed in the hori­zontal configuration. Line contact is defined as the portion of the cabinet that is formed by the intersection of the top and side. ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCE, WHERE GREATER, SHOULD T AKE PRECEDENCE OVER MINIMUM FIRE PRO­TECTION CLEARANCE. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be installed so that the ignition source and burners are located not less than eighteen inches (18") above the floor and is protected or located to prevent physical damage by vehicles. A gas furnace must not be installed di­rectly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood flooring.
FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joist, use 3/8" threaded rod and 2”x2”x3/8” angle iron as shown below. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances neces­sary.
EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting
system 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 Furnaces ANSI Z21.47-Latest Edi­tion, 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:
a. Seal any unused openings in the venting system; b. Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition;
c. In so 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. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers;
d. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously;
e. T est for draft hood equipped appliance spillage at the
draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle;
f. 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;
g. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the common venting system must be corrected.
Suspended Furnace
Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/ CSA B149 Installation Codes.
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 CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
In an area having good air circulation, locate the thermostat about five feet high on a vibration-free inside wall. Do not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any of the follow­ing:
9
• 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.

OMBUSTION AND VENTILA TION AIR REQUIREMENTS
This furnace must use indoor air for combustion. It cannot be installed as a direct vent (i.e., sealed combustion) furnace.
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.

Category I Venting is venting at a non-positive pressure. A furnace vented as Category I is considered a fan-assisted ap­pliance and the vent system does not have to be “gas tight.” NOTE: Single stage gas furnaces with induced draft blowers draw products of combustion through a heat exchanger allow­ing, in some instances, common venting with natural draft ap­pliances (i.e. water heaters). All inst allations must be vented in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1
- latest edition. In Canada, the furnaces must be vented in ac­cordance with the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.
NOTE: The vertical height of the Category I venting system must be at least as great as the horizontal length of the venting system.

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 NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.

XTERIOR MASONRY CHIMNEYS
(C
ATEGORY

URNACES ONLY
)
An exterior masonry chimney is defined as a “Masonry” chim­ney exposed to the outdoors on one or more sides below the roof line.” The ability to use a clay lined masonry chimney depends on a parameter not associated with interior chimneys. This variable is the geographic location of the installation. Re­searchers have discovered that the winter design temperatures have a direct impact on the suitability of this type of venting. In most situations, the existing masonry chimneys will require a properly sized metallic liner.

CHECK 1 - PROPER CHIMNEY TERMINATION.
A masonry chimney used as a vent for gas fired equipment must extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. It must extend at least two feet higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet. In addition, the chimney must terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet. The chimney must extend at least five feet above the highest connected equip­ment draft hood outlet or flue collar .
12
If the chimney does not meet these termination requirements, but all other requirements in the checklist can be met, it may be possible for a mason to extend the chimney . If this will not be practical, see Fix 1.

CHECK 4 - DEBRIS IN CLEANOUT.
A cleanout (dropleg) must be present such that the upper edge of the cleanout cover is at least 12 inches below the lower edge of the lowest chimney inlet opening.
A chimney without a cleanout could become partially blocked by debris. If no cleanout is present, the chimney must be re­lined (Fix 4). Remove the cleanout cover, and examine the cleanout for debris. If significant amounts of any of the following are found:
• Fuel oil residue
• Bricks
• Mortar or sand
• Pieces of the tile liner
• Rusted pieces of the metallic liner - reline the chimney (Fix 4).
CHECK 5 - LINER CONDITION.
If a metal liner is present, it must be checked. It cannot be assumed that all existing metal liners are correctly installed and in good condition.
Remove the lowest existing vent connector, and examine the inside of the elbow or tee at the base of the liner. A small amount of soot may be considered acceptable, provided the installer vacuums it away. If rusted pieces of the liner have collected here, the metal liner must be removed and replaced (Fix 4).
Chimney
Termination More Than 10 Feet From Ridge, Wall or Parapet
CHECK 2 - ANY SOLID OR LIQUID FUEL APPLIANCES VENTED
THIS CHIMNEY CHANNEL
INTO
Solid fuel appliances include fireplaces, wood stoves, coal fur­naces, and incinerators.
Liquid fuel appliances include oil furnaces, oil-fired boilers and oil-fired water heaters.
Next, gently tap the inside of the liner with a Phillips screw­driver. If the screwdriver perforates the liner, or if the tapping does not sound like metal hitting metal, the liner must be re­moved and replaced (Fix 4).
Remember that all appliances must be vented inside the liner. Venting one appliance inside the liner and another appliance outside the liner is not acceptable.
13
Next, use a flashlight and small mirror to sight up the liner. B vent must be supported so as to not come into direct contact with the chimney walls or tile liner. If it is not, it can probably be rehung so as to be acceptable. A thimble or fire stop may be helpful here.
Flexible liners should be hung straight or nearly straight. If it is spiraled in the chimney and in good condition, it should be rehung. To do this, break the top seal; pull up and cut off the excess liner length, and refit the top seal. Use caution when doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp.
The surfaces of the liner must be physically sound. If gaps or holes are present, the metal liner must be removed and re­placed (Fix 4). Finally , confirm that the metal liner is the cor­rect size for the appliances to be installed. Use the GAMA tables and rules.
If a metal liner is not present, a clay tile liner must be present, or the chimney must be lined (Fix 4).
Use a flashlight and small mirror at the cleanout or vent con­nector to inspect the clay tile liner. If any of the following prob­lems are present:
• Tile sections misaligned
• Tile sections missing
• Gaps between tile sections
• Signs of condensate drainage at the cleanout or vent connectors
• Mortar protruding from between tile sections
• Use of sewer pipe or drainage pipe rather than an approved fire clay tile reline the chimney (Fix 4).
Next, measure the size of the liner. It may be possible to do this from the cleanout. The liner must be at least as large as the minimum size established by the tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments. If the liner is too small or too large, then the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
CHECK 6 - DILUTION AIR.
If gas-fired appliances are to be vented into a clay tile liner, a source of dilution air is required.
Dilution air cannot be obtained through:
• Induced draft appliances
• Natural draft appliances with vent dampers
CHECK 7 - COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
If Checks 1 through 6 have been satisfactory , and the liner is an acceptable size as determined by the tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments, then the clay tile liner can probably be used as a vent for the gas appliances. However, the inst aller must keep in mind the following factors which may render the tile liner unsuitable for use as a vent:
• Extremely cold weather
• Long vent connectors
• Masonry chimneys with no air gap between the liner and the bricks. (In practice, this can be difficult to detect.)
• Exterior chimneys (The tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National St andard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments assume interior chimneys.)
If, in the judgment of the local gas utility , installer , and/or local codes; one or more of the above factors is likely to present a problem, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
FIX 1 - LINER TERMINATION
Any cap or roof assembly used with a liner must be approved by the liner manufacturer for such use. The liner and cap/roof assembly must then terminate above the roof in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
In some cases, a shorter extension above the roof may be possible with a liner than would be required with a masonry chimney.
For further information on relining, see Fix 4.
FIX 2 -CHANGE VENTING ARRANGEMENTS
If the masonry chimney has more than one channel, it may be possible to vent the gas appliances into one channel and vent the solid or liquid fuel appliance(s) into another channel(s). Do not vent an 80+ Furnace inside of a metal liner with other appli­ances vented outside the liner.
Alternatively , the homeowner may agree to discontinue use of the fireplace (solid fuel appliance). If so, the tile liner must be cleaned to remove creosote buildup. The fireplace opening must then be permanently sealed.
Sufficient dilution air can ordinarily be obtained through the draft hood of a natural draft appliance only if the appliance’s vent connector does not include a vent damper. If dilution air will not be available, the chimney must be relined (Fix 4).
If oil-fired appliance(s) are being replaced by gas-fired appliance(s), the tile liner must first be cleaned to remove the fuel oil residue.
If none of the above options is practical, the furnace may need to be vented vertically with a B Vent.
Under some conditions, a 90%+ furnace could be installed rather than an 80% furnace. The 90%+ furnace can be vented hori­zontally or vertically through PVC pipe.
14
FIX 3 - REBUILD THE CROWN
If the chimney crown is damaged, a qualified mason must re­pair it in accordance with nationally recognized building codes or standards. One such standard which may be referenced is the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 21 1.
FIX 4 - RELINING
Relining options include B vent and flexible liners. If the chimney has diagonal offsets, B vent probably cannot be
used. If B vent is to be used, it must be supported adequately . Sup-
ports (such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to prevent the B vent from coming into direct contact with the tile liner or chimney walls. Direct contact would result in higher heat loss, with an increased possibility of poor venting system perfor­mance.
It is not acceptable to vent one appliance inside the B vent and other appliances outside. The excess space between the B vent and the chimney walls must be covered at the top of the chimney by a weatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.
The B vent should then be topped with a listed vent cap. The listed vent cap will, when installed per the manufacturer’s in­structions, prevent problems due to rain, birds, or wind effects.
A B-vent installed as described in this section is considered to be an enclosed vent system, and the sizing tables in National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/ CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments may be used.
For sizing of flexible liners, see Note 22 and the tables in the National Fuel Gas Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.
T o inst all the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer’s in­structions and your local codes. Excess liner length should be pulled out of the chimney and cut off. Use caution when doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp. Do not spiral excess liner inside of the chimney . Support the liner as recommended by the liner manufacturer.
Some manufacturers of flexible liners offer an insulation sleeve designed to be added to the liner before it is installed in the chimney. (Poured insulation, either vermiculite or other materi­als, is no longer recommended.) Insulation will need to be added to the flexible liner if:
• It is required by the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
• The previous liner was properly sized and installed, and suffered from condensation damage.
• It is required by your local building codes.
Even if none of those three conditions exist which require addi­tional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:
• The local climate is very cold.
• The chimney is very tall.
• The vent connectors used are very long or have a large number of elbows.
• Local experience indicates that flexible liners installed without insulation are likely to have condensation problems.
Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
If a flexible liner is to be used, it must be made of the proper materials:
• For most residential applications, an aluminum liner should be acceptable.
• If the combustion air supplied to the furnace will be contaminated with compounds containing chlorine or fluorine, a liner of AL 29-4C stainless steel should be used. Common sources of chlorine and fluorine compounds include indoor swimming pools and chlorine bleaches, paint strippers, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried) and solvents used during construction and remodeling. V arious commercial and industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/fluorine compounds.
• Heavier gauge 300 and 400 series stainless steel liners were developed for use with oil or solid fuel appliances. They are not suitable for use with gas-fired appliances. Flexible liners specifically intended and tested for gas applications are listed in the UL “Gas and Oil Equipment Directory”. (UL S tandard 1777).
Finally, cap the chimney and terminate the liner in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
