,
• 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 Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe -Termination
Locations 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 Trap 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 Ventilation 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 Applications
and 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.
• 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. (NOTE: A subbase will not be
required if an air conditioning coil is located beneath
the furnace between the supply air opening and the
combustible floor.
• 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
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine-based
carbon tetrachloride
water softening chemicals
swimming pool chemicals
deicing salts or chemicals
halogen type refrigerants
printing inks
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
masonry acid washing materials
• 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 enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an adequate
supply of combustion air, vent from a nearby
uncontaminated room or from outdoors. Refer to
the Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements
for details.
6
• If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling coil
b
ible fl
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 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
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.)

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.
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, 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.
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.

OMBUSTION
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 B1491-15 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.
I
NSTALLATION POSITIONS
This 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 upright upflow furnaces, return air
ductwork may be attached to the side panel(s) and/or basepan.
For horizontal upflow furnaces, return air ductwork must be
attached to the basepan. For both upright or horizontal coun-
terflow furnaces, return ductwork must be attached to the
basepan (top end of the blower compartment). NOTE: Ductwork
must never be attached to the back of the furnace. Contact
your distributor for proper airflow requirements and number of
required ductwork connections. Refer to “Recommended Installation Positions” figure for appropriate installation positions,
ductwork connections, and resulting airflow arrangements.

ONSIDERATIONS
FRONT COVER PRESSURE SWITCH TUBE LOCATION
When a furnace is installed horizontally with left side down,
the front cover pressure switch tube must be re-located to
the lower port of the collector box cover.
1. Remove tube from front cover pressure switch and
collector box cover.
2. Remove rubber plug from bottom collector box port
and install on top collector box port.
3. Locate 24” x 1/4” tube in bag assembly.
4. Install one end on front cover pressure switch.
5. Route tube to lower port on collector box cover and
cut off excess tubing.
DRAIN TRAP AND LINES
In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to
the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 5.5” below the furnace must be provided for
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.

When installing a furnace horizontally, additional consideration
must be given to the following:
FURNACE S USPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded
rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown in the following diagram. The length of rod will depend on the application and the
clearances necessary.
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 fromthe
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 frontcover.
ALTERNATE VENT/FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR CONNECTONS
In horizontial installations provisions for alternate flue and
combustion air piping are available for upflow furnaces with
left discharge and counterflow furnaces with right air discharge. This configuration allows thye flue and combustion
air piping to be run vertically through the side of the furnace. Refer to the “Recommended Installation Positions” figure for further detail. The standard piping connections may
also be used in these positions. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and
Combustion Air Pipe for details concerning the conversion to
the alternate vent/flue and combustion air connections.
When using the horizontal alternate vent configuration, you
must use the RF000142 vent drain kit. See following illustration.
If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must be suspended
from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install
the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water.

Change
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 installations above 7000 feet, please refer to the furnace
Specification Sheets for required kit(s).
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.
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.
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).
V
ENT/FLUE PIPE
& C
OMBUSTION AIR PIPE
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
10
takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature
and water condensation requirements, PVC or ABS pipe is typically used as venting and intake pipe materials. In Canada
ABS is not an approved vent pipe material but it is permissable
to use as combustion air pipe material.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe and fittings, Innoflue® by
Centrotherm Eco Systems and PolyPro® 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,
the transition from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the
furnace as practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to Type 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.
MATERIALS AND JOINING METHODS
Two-three-inch nominal diameter PVC Schedule 40 pipe meeting ASTM D1785, PVC primer meeting ASTM F656, and PVC
solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be
used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM
D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing of
PVC.
The use of Schedule 40 PVC cellular core DWV meeting ASTM
F891-1 or ABS cellular core (Foam Core) plastic pipe is also
acceptable as a flue/vent and intake pipe material. PVC
primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement meeting
ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be
DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311.
Carefully follow the manufactures instructions for cutting,
cleaning and solvent cementing of PVC.
For Canadian installations; all PVC pipe, fittings and joining
materials must be UL S636 listed.
NOTE: Requirement does not apply to the combustion air
pipe.
As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement, and fittings, ABS materials which are in compliance with the following
specifications may be used. Two-or-three-inch ABS Schedule 40
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.

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.
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/FLUE AND 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.

PREFERRED
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.

Figure 6
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.

which flue gases may enter a building (door, window, or
gravity air inlet).
12
• The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically through
a roof must terminate at least 12 inches above the roof
line (or the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12
inches from any vertical wall (including any anticipated
snow build up).
• A vent termination shall not terminate over public
walkways
or over an area where condensate or vapor could create
a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the
operation of regulators, relief valves, or other
equipment.
• The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent
application should not terminate in an area which is
frequently dusty or dirty.
NOTE: In Canada, the current edition of CAN/CSA B149.1-15
takes precendence over the preceding termination
restriction.
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 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 a
trademark 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 P IPE
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 (Figure 8A).

Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping
Non-direct vent 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-direct vent 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.
VENT/FLUE PIPE LENGTHS AND DIAMETERS
(For Installations At or Above 7,000 Feet using 3” Venting)
NOTE: If either a 90 degree or 45 degree elbow is used for
termination, it must be pointed downward.
Refer to the Direct and Non-Direct Vent Table for applicable
length, elbows, and pipe diameter for construction of the vent/
flue pipe system of a non-direct vent installation. In addition to
the vent/flue pipe, a single 90° elbow should be secured to the
combustion air intake to prevent inadvertent blockage. The tee
used in the vent/flue termination must be included when determining the number of elbows in the piping system.
