Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
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.
TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE
All units are securely packed in shipping containers tested accord­ing to International Safe Transit Association specifications. The car­ton must be checked upon arrival for external damage. If damage is found, a request for inspection by carrier’s agent must be made in 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 manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for transportation 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.

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, 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.
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
7
.
,
cements and glues antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers 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-direct vent 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.
CLEARANCES AND 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 minimum of 24 inches service clearance must be available in front of the unit.
TOP
SIDE SIDE
BOTTOM
Upflow Horizontal
A furnace installed in a confined space (i.e., a closet or utility room) must have two ventilation openings with a total minimum free area of 0.25 square inches per 1,000 BTU/hr of furnace input rating. Refer to the Specification Sheet applicable to your model* for mini­mum clearances to combustible surfaces. One of the ventilation openings must be within 12 inches of the top; the other opening must be within 12 inches of the bottom of the confined space. In a typical construction, the clearance between the door and door frame is usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.
FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded rod and 2”x2”x1/8” 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·CSA-2.3 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 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 National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CSA B149.1-05 Inst al­lation Codes.

If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the
V
appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CSA B149.1-05 Installation Codes.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The thermostat should be placed approximately five feet from the floor on a vibration-free, inside wall in an area having good air circulation. Do not install the thermostat where it may be influ­enced by any of the following:
Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under
cabinets.
Hot or cold air from registers.
Radiant heat from the sun.
Light fixtures or other appliances.
Radiant heat from a fireplace.
Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.

V . COMBUSTION & VENTILA TION AIR REQUIREMENTS
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.

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
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 square inch per 1 000 BT U of the total input rating of all equ i p ­ment in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square inches.

5.3.4 Specially Engineered Installations:
The requirements of 5.3.3 shall not necessarily govern when special engineering, approved by the authority having jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.
5.3.5 Louvers and Grilles:
In calculating free area in 5.3.3, consideration shall be given to the block­ing effect of louvers, grilles or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch mesh. If the area through a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in calculating the size of opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60-75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.
5.3.6 Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or Fire­places:
Operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers, or fire­places may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsat­isfactory operation of installed gas utilization equipment. Air from Inside Building. See 5.3.3-a.
VI. INSTALLA TION POSITIONS
NOTE: This furnace is shipped from the factory as a Dedicated Upflow. A “Blocked Drain Kit” (0270K00012) is available and MUST BE USED if the furnace is installed Horizontal Left or Horizontal
Right. 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. 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.

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 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:
