writing immediately.
The furnace must be carefully inspected on arrival for damage and
bolts or screws which may have come loose in transit. In the event
of damage the consignee should:
1. Make a notation on delivery receipt of any visible damage to
shipment or container.
2. Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
3. With concealed damage, carrier must be notified as soon as
possible - preferably within five days.
4. File the claim with the following support documents within a
nine month statute of limitations.
•Original or certified copy of the Bill of Lading, or indemnity
bond.
•Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
•Original or certified copy of the invoice, showing trade and
other discounts or reductions.
•Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier’s
representative at the time damage is reported to carrier.
The carrier is responsible for making prompt inspection of damage
and for a thorough investigation of each claim. The distributor or

damage.
Keep this literature in a safe place for future reference.
Carbon monoxid e producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.
Please adhere to the following warnings and cautions when installing, adjusting, altering, servicing, or operating the furnace.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge static electricity accumulated in the body before
touching the 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.

IV . LOCATION REQUIREMENTS & CONSIDERA TIONS
GENERAL
WARNING
TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, THE FOLLOWING BULLET POINTS MUST
BE OBSERVED WHEN INSTALLING THE UNIT
Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in Section V, Combus-
tion and Ventilation Air Requirements.
•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 Section IX, 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
Section X, 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 Section V,
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 Section VII, HorizontalApplications 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.
•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

and 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-directvent furnace has an adequate supply
of combustion air, vent from a nearby uncontaminated
room or from outdoors. Refer to the Section V,Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements for details.
•If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit,
install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling
unit. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the
cooling unit 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.
CLEARANCESAND ACCESSIBILITY
Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible materials to which this furnace has been design certified. The minimum clearance information for this furnace is provided on the unit’s
clearance label. These clearances must be permanently maintained. Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s gas,
electrical, and drain trap and drain line connections. If the alternate
vent/flue connections are used additional clearance must be provided to accommodate these connections. Refer to Section IX,Vent Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe for details. NOTE: In
addition to the required clearances to combustible materials, a

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 CSA
B149.1-05 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. Test for draft hood equipped 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.
Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the

WARN ING
TO
AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
SUFFICIENT FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND
OF FLUE GASES MUST BE SUPPLIED
AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA
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.
1. Headaches-Nausea-Dizziness, Flu-Like Symptoms.
2. Excessive humidity-heavily frosted windows or a moist
“clammy” feeling in the home.
3. Smoke from a fireplace will not draw up the chimney.
4. Flue gases that will not draw up the appliance vent pipe.

ENTILATION
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 ANSI Z223.1
(Section 5.3), or CSA B149.1-05 Installation Codes (Sections 7.2,
7.3, or 7.4), 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 following information on air for combustion and ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Section 5.3.
5.3.1 General:
(a) The provisions of 5.3 apply to gas utilization equipment installed in
buildings and which require air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases from within the building. They do not apply to (1)
direct vent equipment which is constructed and installed so that all
air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and all
flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere, or (2) enclosed
furnaces which incorporate an integral total enclosure and use only
outside air for combustion and dilution of flue gases.
(b) Equipment shall be installed in a location in which the facilities for
ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas, proper venting
and the maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under
normal conditions of use. Equipment shall be located so as not to
interfere with proper circulation of air. When normal infiltration
does not provide the necessary air, outside air shall be introduced.
(c) In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall be pro-
vided as required for: cooling of equipment or material, controlling
dew point, heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust,
odor control, and air for compressors.
(d) In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall be supplied for
ventilation, including all air required for comfort and proper working
conditions for personnel.
(e) While all forms of building construction cannot be covered in detail,
air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases for gas
utilization equipment vented by natural draft normally may be obtained by application of one of the methods covered in 5.3.3 and
5.3.4.
(f) Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventila-
tion systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in
determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air
requirements.
5.3.2 Equipment Located in Unconfined Spaces:
In unconfined spaces (see definition below) in buildings, infiltration
may be adequate to provide air for combustion ventilation and dilution
of flue gases. However, in buildings of tight construction (for example,
weather stripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional air may need to be provided using the methods described in 5.3.3b or 5.3.4.
Space, Unconfined.
For purposes of this Code, a space whose volume is not less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with
the space in which the appliances are installed through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
5.3.3 Equipment Located in Confined Spaces:
(a) All Air from Inside the Building: The confined space shall be pro-
vided with two permanent openings communicating directly with
an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined
volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space. The
total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined
9
Page 10
space shall be considered in making this determination. Each open-
A
ing shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU
per hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in
the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches. One opening shall be within 12 inches of the top and one within 12 inches of
the bottom of the enclosure.
NOTE: Each opening must have
a free area of not less than one

DRAIN TRAPAND LINES
In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to
the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 4 3/4 inches 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 Section X, Condensate Drain Trap and Lines for
further details. 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.
LEVELING
Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage,
the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace
should also be level from back to front or have a slight tilt with the
access doors downhill (approximately 3/4 inches) from the back
panel. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil
front cover.
ALTERNATE VENT/FLUE CONNECTION
In horizontal installations provisions for alternate flue piping are
available for upflow furnaces with left discharge. This configuration allows the flue piping to be run vertically through 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 Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe for details concerning the conversion to the alternate
vent/flue connections.
When using the horizontal alternate vent configuration, you must
use the RF000142 vent drain kit. See following illustration.
NOTE: This furnace is shipped from the factory as a Dedicated
Upflow. A “Blocked Drain Kit” is available and MUST BE USED if the
furnace is installed Horizontal Left or Horizontal Right. Check the
Serial/ Rating Plate on the furnace for the Kit P/N.
GENERAL
Horizontal applications, in particular, may dictate many of the
installation’s specifics such as airflow direction, ductwork connections, flue and combustion air pipe connections, etc. The basic
application of this furnace as a horizontal furnace differs only slightly
from an upright installation. When installing a furnace horizontally,
additional consideration must be given to the following:

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 pipe is used as venting material.
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

cleaning, and solvent cementing of PVC.
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-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 joint s must meet ASTM D2235 and,

A
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.
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. It is our recommendation that all vent/flue piping exposed to
temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time should 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) should be insulated with 1/2” thick
closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.
TERMINATION LOCATIONS
NOTES: Refer to Section IV, Location Requirements and
Considerations for combustion air contaminant restrictions.
The following bullets and diagram describe the restrictions con-
cerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion
air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer to Non-Di-rect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping
located in this section for specific details on termination construction.
•All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at
least 12 inches above ground level or the anticipated
snow level.
•Vent terminations (non-direct and direct vent) must
terminate at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located
within 10 feet.
NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion
air intake termination of a direct vent application.
•The vent termination of a non-direct vent application must
terminate at least 4 feet below, 4 feet horizont ally from, or
1 foot above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any
building.
•The vent termination of a direct vent application must
terminate at least 12 inches from any opening through
which flue gases may enter a building (door, window, or
gravity air inlet).
•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.

CANADIAN VENTING REQUIREMENTS
In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA-listed,
ULC-S636 compliant two-three-inch diameter PVC or ABS pipe,
solvent cement, and fittings throughout. The certified piping should
be clearly marked with the ULC Std “S636” on the pipe and fittings.
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 C ONNECTIONS
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping
connections to the furnace are secure, airtight, and adequately
supported.
As shipped, attachment “couplings” for vent/flue and combustion
air intake pipe connections are provided on the furnace’s top cover
(upflow). To use the standard connections, field supplied vent/flue
pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) should be
secured directly to the furnace at these locations.
VENT/FLUE PIPE
Vent/flue pipe can be secured to the vent/flue coupling using the
rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with this
furnace (see “Standard Connections” figure). The rubber coupling
allows separation of the vent/flue pipe from the furnace during
servicing. 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 utilizing two 45 deg. Long-Sweep Elbows and creating an “S” joint to provide additional space at connection locations. 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.
NOTE: For non-direct vent installations, a minimum of one 90°
elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling
to guard against inadvertent blockage.
COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to
the air intake coupling. NOTE: Because of probable material conflicts, do not use other commercially available “no hub connectors”.
NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent blockage.

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.
For details concerning connection of the vent/flue pipe to the furnace, refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air -
Standard Furnace Connections or Alternate Furnace Connections
for specific details. Refer to the following Non-Direct Vent (Single
Pipe) Piping - Vent/Flue Pipe Terminations for specific details on
termination construction.
Although non-directvent installations do not require a combustion
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. This elbow will guard against inadvertent blockage of the air intake.
VENT/FLUE PIPE LENGTHSAND DIAMETERS
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows, and pipe
diameter for construction of the vent/flue pipe system of a nondirect 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.

restrictions. The penetration of the vent through the roof must be
sealed tight with proper flashing such as is used with a plastic
plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in the
following figure. Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combus-tion Air Pipe - Termination Locations for details concerning location restrictions. A 2 3/8” diameter wall penetration is required for
2” diameter pipe. A 3” diameter hole is required for a 2 1/2” pipe
and a 3 1/2” diameter hole is required for 3” diameter pipe. To
secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit damage to
piping connections, a coupling should be installed on either side
of the wall and solvent cemented to a length of pipe 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.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run between
joist spaces. If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up
into the last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows
should be used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.

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 pressure zone.
Refer to Section IX, Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Pipe - Termi-nation Locations or Concentric Vent Termination for specific details on termination construction. For details concerning connection of pipes to the furnace, refer to the Section IX, Vent/Flue Pipe
and Combustion Pipe - Standard Furnace Connections or Alternate Furnace Connections.
VENT/FLUEAND COMBUSTION AIR PIPE LENGTHSAND DIAMETERS
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows, and
pipe diameter for construction of the vent/flue and combustion air
intake pipe systems of a direct vent (dual pipe) installation. The
number of elbows tabulated represents the number of elbows
and/or tees in each (Vent/Flue & Combustion Air Intake) pipe.
Elbows and/or tees used in the terminations must be included
when determining the number of elbows in the piping systems.
If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a finished
ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate will be objectionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe may be required.
Use 1/2” thick closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex or
Insultube where required.

X. CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES & DRAIN TRAP
GENERAL
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.
The condensate which is generated must be piped to an appropriate drain location.
In upright installations, the furnace’s drain hoses may exit either
the right or left side of the furnace. NOTE: If the alternate vent/flue
outlet is utilized in an upright installation, the drain trap and drain
connections must be located on the same side as the alternate
vent/flue outlet.
In horizontal installations, the drain hoses will exit through the
bottom (down side) of the unit with the drain trap suspended beneath the furnace. The field-supplied drain system must be in
accordance with all local codes and the instructions in the following sections.
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 line between furnace and drain location must
be constructed of 3/4” PVC.
•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.
•Do not route the drain line outside where it may freeze.
•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.
•If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a
common drain may be used. An open tee must be
installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to
relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.
This is necessary to prohibit any interference with the
function of the furnace’s drain trap.
UPRIGHT INSTALLATIONS
In an upright installation drain hoses are connected to drain ports
on the rubber elbow and the recuperator coil front cover. The drain
lines are then routed through the right or left side panel and into the
drain trap secured to the outside of the cabinet.
NOTE: Refer to Section X, Condensate Drain Lines and Drain Trap
- Alternate Vent/Flue Hose Connections for upright installations
using an alternate vent/flue outlet.

Minimum:11.0" W.C. Maximum :13.0" W.C.
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. Contact your
distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and
corresponding manufacturer’s high altitude (Natural, Propane Gas,
and/or Pressure Switch) 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, 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/ft
3
content of the fuel used. Contact your distributor
for a tabular listing of appropriate altitude ranges and corresponding manufacturer’s pressure switch kits.

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.
24
Page 25
•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.

DIRECT/STANDARD INLET PIPING
When gas piping enters directly to the gas valve through the standard inlet hole, the installer must supply straight pipe with a ground
joint union to reach the exterior of the furnace. The rigid pipe must
be 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.
INDIRECT/ALTERNATE INLET PIPING
When gas piping enters indirectly to the gas valve through the
alternate gas inlet hole the following 1/2 inch pipe fittings (starting
from the gas valve) to reach the outside of the cabinet must be
supplied:
•1 - 90 degree street elbow.
•1 - 2-1/2 inch pipe nipple.
•1 - 90 degree elbow.
•1 - Straight pipe
The straight pipe must be long enough to reach the outside
of the cabinet so as to seal the grommet cabinet penetration
and to install the ground joint union outside of the cabinet. A
semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside
the cabinet per local codes.
GAS PIPING CHECKS
Before placing unit in operation, leak test the unit and gas connections.

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 on Page
4 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 11 inch
w.c. at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. Vaporization 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.
Shellac-based compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied petroleum gases such as Gasolac
®
, Stalactic®, Clyde’s® or John
Crane® are satisfactory.

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 closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. Flexible joints may be used for supply
and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To 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.
NOTE: Two side openings or a side opening and bottom opening
are required for airflow delivery of 1800 CFM and greater.
26
Page 27
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. To 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 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.

XIV . ST ARTUP PROCEDURE & ADJUSTMENT
Furnace must have a 115 VAC power supply properly connected
and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct operation. In addition to the following start-up and adjustment items,
refer to further information in Section XVI, Operational Checks.
HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTING
The heat anticipator in the room thermostat must be correctly adjusted to obtain the proper number of cycles per hour and to prevent “overshooting” of the setting. Set the heat anticipator setting to
0.7 amps. Follow the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions on
how to adjust the heat anticipator setting.
DRAIN TRAP PRIMING
The drain trap must be primed prior to furnace startup. To prime, fill
the drain trap with water. This ensures proper furnace drainage
upon startup and prohibits the possibility of flue gases escaping
through the drain system.
FURNACEOPERATION
Purge gas lines of air prior to startup. Be sure not purge lines into
an enclosed burner compartment.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved
method. Verify that all required kits (propane gas, high altitude,
etc.) have been appropriately installed.
FURNACE STARTUP
1. Close the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.
2. Turn off the electrical power to the furnace.

GAS INPUT RATE MEASUREMENT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
The gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that
specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas input
using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances
except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating, time and record one
complete revolution of the smallest gas meter dial.
This valve is shipped from the factory with the regulator preset (see
control label).
29
Page 30
3. Calculate the number of seconds per cubic foot (sec/ft
g
p
3
) of
gas being delivered to the furnace. If the dial is a one cubic
foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2
by one. If the dial is a two cubic foot dial, divide the number
of seconds recorded in step 2 by two.
4. Calculate the furnace input in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr). Input
equals the installation’s gas heating value multiplied by a
conversion factor (hours to seconds), divided by the number
of seconds per cubic foot. The measured input must not be
greater than the input indicated on the unit rating plate.
EXAMPLE:
Installation’s gas heating (HTG) value: 1,000 BTU/ft
3
(Obtained from gas supplier)
Installation’s seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ ft
3
Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr
Input = (Htg. value x 3600) ÷ seconds per cubic foot
Input = (1,000 BTU/ft
3
x 3600 sec/hr) ÷ 34 sec/ ft
3
Input = 106,000 BTU/hr
Minor changes to the input rate may be accomplished through
manifold pressure adjustments at the gas valve. Refer to Section
XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustment - Gas Manifold Pressure
Measurement and Adjustment for details. NOTE: The final mani-
fold pressure cannot vary by more than ± 0.3” w.c. from the specified setting. Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate
adjustment is required.
5. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in
step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly
and that all pilot burners are operating.
TEMPERATURE RISE
Temperature 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.

This furnace is equipped with a multi-speed circulator blower. This
blower provides ease in adjusting blower speeds. The Specification Sheet applicable to your model provides an airflow table, showing the relationship between airflow (CFM) and external static pressure (E.S.P .), for the proper selection of heating and cooling speeds.
The cooling blower speed is shipped set on HIGH, and the heating
blower speed is set as indicated in the Specification Sheet applicable to your model. These blower speeds should be adjusted by
the installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide
the correct heating temperature rise and correct cooling CFM.
To adjust the circulator blower speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF power to the furnace.
2. Select the heating and cooling blower speeds that match
the installation requirements from the airflow table in theSpecification Sheet.
3. Relocate desired motor leads to the circulator blower heat
and cool speed terminals on the integrated control module.
(T erminals are identified as HEA T and COOL (hot)). If heating
and cooling blower speeds are the same, a jumper wire
must be used between the heat and cool terminals.
4. Connect all unused blower motor leads to the “PARK”
terminals on the integrated control module. Any leads not
connected to the “PARK” terminals must be taped.

XVII. SAFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
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, the module 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 normallyclosed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor. The limit guards against the overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
AUXILIARY LIMIT
The auxiliary limit control(s) are located on or near the circulator
blower and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures.
They are a normally-closed (electrically), manual-reset, temperature activated 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 normally-closed
(electrically), manual-reset, temperature-activated 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), single-pole single-throw, 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
31
Page 32
against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products)
through the heat exchanger and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
FLAME SENSOR
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.
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 Section XVIII,T roubleshooting - Diagnostic Chart for aid in determining the cause.
XIX. MAINTENANCE
XVIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
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 ser-
vicing 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
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

ANNUALINSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all furnace components are in proper working order and that the heating
system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention to the following items. Repair or service as necessary.
•Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check
the outside termination and the connections at and internal
to the furnace.
•Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within
the heat exchanger passageways.
•Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame
sense.
•Drainage system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check hose connections at and internal to furnace.
•Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/or
corrosion. Check wires for damage.
•Filters.

RESETTING FROM L OCKOUT
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 will (or 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.
FILTERS
CAUTION
TO
ENSURE PROPER UNIT PERFORMANCE, ADHERE TO THE FILTER
SIZES GIVEN IN THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM FILTER SIZE TABLE OR
PECIFICATION SHEET APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
S
*
MAINTENANCE
Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be cleaned
(permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months or as required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a filter of
the same type and size.
FILTER REMOVAL
Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can be
applied. Filters can be installed in either the central return register
or a side panel external filter rack (upflow only). A media air filter or
electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate filter. Follow the
filter sizes given in the Recommended Minimum Filter size table to
ensure proper unit performance.
32
Page 33
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow
installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit. For further details, see your distributor.
HORIZONTAL UNIT FILTER REMOVAL
Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return
register or the ductwork near the furnace.
To remove:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from the central return register or ductwork.
3. Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.
4. Turn ON electrical power to furnace.
MEDIA AIR FILTEROR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER REMOVAL
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for service.
BURNERS
Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heating
season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow several
minutes for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged dust will alter
the flames normal appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet,
soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be
yellow). They should extend directly outward from the burners without curling, floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the
sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
INDUCED DRAFTAND CIRCULATOR BLOWERS
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower
motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further
lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumulation of
dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary.
CONDENSATE TRAPAND DRAIN SYSTEM (QUALIFIED SERVICER
ONLY)
Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-supplied drain
line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain system for hose
connection tightness, blockage, and leaks. Clean or repair as
necessary.
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
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 emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be 1 to 6 microamps.
IGNITER (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
If the igniter and the surrounding air are at about 70°F and the
igniter wires are not connected to any other electrical components,
the resistance of the igniter should not exceed 200 ohms. If it does,
the igniter should be replaced.
FLUE PASSAGES (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected at the
beginning of each heating season. If necessary, clean the passageways as outlined below.
4. Remove the induced draft blower and the drain and pressure
tap hoses from the recuperator coil front cover.
5. Remove the recuperator coil front cover to expose the coil
tubes and turbulators.
6. Remove the recuperator coil turbulators individually by slowly
pulling each turbulator forward firmly.
7. Clean the recuperator coil tubes using a long handle wire
brush, such as a gun cleaning brush.
8. Clean the primary heat exchanger tubes using a wire brush
attached to a length of high grade stainless steel cable,
such as drain cleanout cable. Attach a variable speed
reversible drill to the other end of the cable. Slowly rotate
the cable with the drill and insert it into one of the heat
exchanger tubes. While reversing the drill, work the cable
in and out several times to obtain sufficient cleaning. Repeat
for each tube.
9. Clean residue from furnace using a vacuum cleaner.
10. Replace the parts removed in the previous steps in reverse
order.
11. Turn on electrical power and gas to furnace. Check for
leaks and proper unit operation.
12. Severe heat exchanger fouling is an indication of an
operational problem. Perform the checks listed in SectionXIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustments to reduce the
chances of repeated fouling.
XX. BEFORE LEAVING AN INST ALLATION
•Cycle the furnace with the thermostat at least three times.
Verify cooling and fan only operation.
•Review the Owner’s Manual with the homeowner and
discuss proper furnace operation and maintenance.
•Leave literature packet near furnace.
