SafetyRules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages
installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various
sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The
sources could be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking
stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood
fireplaces.
Carbon monoxide can cause bodily injury and/or death.
Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless gas
produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available
carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally
recognized testing agency in accordance with Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station
Carbon Monoxide Alarms, ANSl/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19-01
Residential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling concurrently with the
gas-fired furnace installation (see Note below). The alarm
should be installed as recommended by the alarm
manufacturer's installation instructions.
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building
or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause bodily injury, death,
and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of
potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should have fire
extinguisher and smoke alarms listed by Underwriters
Laboratories installed and maintained in the building or
dwelling (see Note below).
Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms
and makes no representations regarding any brand or type
of alarms.
C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should
do the following:
1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit. This
will help you understand how your unit operates and the
hazards involved with gas and electricity.
2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide
air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper combustion
and ventilation of flue gases.
FrozenWaterPipeHazard
WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property
damage.
Do not leave your home unattended for long periods
during freezing weather without turning off water
supply and draining water pipes or otherwise
protecting against the risk of frozen pipes and result
in damage.
Your furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortable
living environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure that
water pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety
devices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it from
restarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.
If your furnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in your
home could freeze and burst, resulting in water damage.
If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you should
take these precautions.
1. Turn off the water supply to the structure and drain the water
lines if possible and add an antifreeze for potable water to
drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets in appropriate
areas.
-or-
2. Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Instruct them on a service agency to call to
provide service, if required.
-or-
3. Install a reliable remote sensing device that wilt notify
somebody of freezing conditions within the home.
WinterShutdown
If you go away during the winter months and do not leave the heat
on in your home, the plastic transition box and the condensate trap
on the furnace must be protected from freeze damage.(See
Figure 11 through Figure 20)
1. Disconnect the5/8"(15.9mm) OD rubber hose from the vent
drain fitting that is located downstream of the combustion
blower. Insert a funnel into the hose and pour four(4) ounces
of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate trap.
Reconnect the 5/8" (15.9mm) OD rubber hose to the stub on
the vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.
2. Disconnect the 3/4" (19.1mm) OD rubber hose from the
condensate trap. Insert a funnel into the hose and and pour
four(4) ounces of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the
plastic Transition box. Squeeze the hose together near the
end and quickly reconnect the 3/4" (19.1mm) OD rubber
hose to the stub on the condensate trap. Secure with the
hose clamp.
When you return home, your furnace will be ready to start, as it is
not necessary to drain the antifreeze from the furnace.

InstallationRequirements
1. Install furnace level.
2. This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of
buildings or structures under construction.
3. Install furnace as centralized as practical with respect to the
heat distribution system.
4. Install the vent pipes as short as practical, and in
accordance to these instructions. (See Vent and
Combustion Air Piping section).
5. Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front
clearance of 24" (609.6mm) required and 30" (762mm)
recommended for access to the burner, controls and filter.
See clearance requirements in Figure 4.
6. Use a raised base for upflow furnace if the floor is damp or
wet at times.
7. For downflow installations, non combustible subbase must
be used under the furnace unless installation is on a non
combustible floor surface. This requirement applies even
when a coil box or cabinet is used.
8. For horizontal installations, line contact is permissible only
between lines formed by intersection of back and two sides
of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs or framing.
9. Residential garage installations require:
• Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18"
(457.2mm) above the floor.
• Located or physically protected from possible damage by
a vehicle.
10. Local codes may require a drain pan under the entire
furnace and condensate trap when the furnace is installed in
attic application.
This furnace may be used for construction heat provided that all the
following conditions are met:
• The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical
wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the
space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative
pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower,
causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products
into the structure.
• The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot
wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure without
thermostatic control.
• Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and
other construction materials. It also prevents the
entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can
cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
• The temperature of the return air to the furnace is
maintained between 55° F (13° C)and 80° F (27° C), with no
evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while
the structure is under construction is deemed to be
intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
• The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the
furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been set to the
rating plate value.
• The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed orthoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
• The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary
to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all
HVAC system components after construction is completed.
• After construction is complete, verify furnace operating
conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature rise
and venting according to these instructions.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury or death.
Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosive atmosphere
containing chlorine, fluorine or any other damaging
chemicals, which could shorten furnace life.
Refer to Combustion & Ventilation Air section,
Contaminated Combustion Air for combustion air
evaluation and remedy.
FurnaceInstallationConsiderations
The installation of the furnace for a given application will dictate the
position of the furnace, the airflow, ductwork connections, vent and
combustion air piping. Consideration must be given to the
following:
CondensateTrap and Drain Lines
The supplied condensate trap must be attached to the furnace side
panel on either the left or right side. For horizontal installations, the
drain trap is vertically attached to the side panel below the furnace.
A minimum clearance of 6" (152.4mm) below the furnace is
required for the condensate trap. Downward slope of the
condensate drain line from the condensate trap to the drain
location must be provided. Adequate freeze protection of the drain
trap and the drain line must be provided. See "Condensate Drain
Trap" section for further details.
Leveling
Proper leveling of the furnace must be provided to insure proper
drainage of the condensate from the furnace. The furnace must be
level to within 1/4" (6.4mm) from front to back and from side to side
for upflow and downflow installations or top to bottom for horizontal
installations.
Vent and CombustionAir Connections
For venting information literature, call 931.270.4100 with the
complete model and serial number of the furnace.

On the Dual Certified furnace, the vent and combustion air pipes
attach to the furnace through the top panel for the upflow and
horizontal installations. For the downflow installation, the vent and
combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the alternate
locations on the furnace side panels.
Note: On the Direct Vent furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the
furnace through the side panels. The combustion air pipe attaches
to the top panel or to the alternate location on the side panel.
On the Single Pipe furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the furnace
through the furnace side panels.
Note: Repositioning of the combustion blower is required for the
vent pipe connection to the furnace through the "right side" panel.

This furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement,
crawl space, alcove, or suspended from a ceiling in a basement or
utility room (See Figure 3). Do not install furnace on its back or in
the reverse airflow positions as safety control operation will be
adversely affected.
If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a crawl
space or the rafters in an attic, it is necessary to use steel pipe
straps or an angle iron frame to rigidly attach the furnace to prevent
movement. These straps should be attached to the furnace bottom
side with sheet metal screws and to the rafters or joists with bolts.
The preferred method is to use an angle iron frame bolted to the
rafters or joists.
If the furnace is to be installed in a crawl space, consult local codes.
A suitable concrete pad or blocks are recommended for crawl
space installation on the ground.
NOTE: 6" (152.4mm) bottom clearance required for condensate
trap.
24" (609.6mm) inches between the front of the furnace and
adjacent construction or other appliances MUST be maintained for
service clearance. [30" (762mm) inches is required to remove
furnace].
Keep all insulating materials clear from Iouvered door. Insulating
materials may be combustible.
The horizontal furnaces may be installed directly on combustible
wood flooring or supports as long as all required furnace
clearances are met. See Figure 3.
This furnace MUST NOT be installed directly on carpeting or tile or
other combustible material other than wood flooring or supports.
For horizontal installation over a finished living space. A field
fabricated auxiliary drain pan with drain pipe is required to prevent
damage by overflow due to blocked condensate drain.

An attic or crawl space may be considered a space that freely
communicates with the outdoors provided there are adequate
ventilation openings directly to outdoors. Openings MUST
remain open and NOT have any means of being closed off.
Ventilation openings to outdoors MUST be at least 1 square
inch of free area per 4,000 BTUH (5.5cm2/kW) of total input
rating for all gas appliances in the space.
In spaces that use the Indoor Combustion Air Method,
infiltration should be adequate to provide air for combustion,
ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings
with unusually tight construction, additional air MUST be
provided using the methods described in section titled
Outdoor Combustion Air Method:
• Unusually tight construction is defined as Construction with:
1. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outdoors have a
continuous, sealed vapor barrier. Openings are gasketed
or sealed and
2.
Doors and openable windows are weather stripped and
3.
Other openings are caulked or sealed. These include
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between walt-ceiling joints, between
wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and
gas lines, etc.
VentilationAir
Some provincial codes and local municipalities require ventilation
or make-up air be brought into the conditioned space as
replacement air. Whichever method is used, the mixed return air
temperature across the heat exchanger MUST not fall below 60°
so that flue gases wilt not condense excessively in the heat
exchanger. Excessive condensation will shorten the life of the heat
exchanger and possibly void your warranty.
VentingandCombustionAirCheck
NOTE: If this installation replaces an existing furnace from a
commonly vented system, the original venting system may no
longer be sized to properly vent the attached appliances. An
improperly sized venting system may cause the formation of
condensate in the vent and the leakage or spillage of vent gases.
To make sure there is adequate combustion air for all appliances,
MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHECK.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation, could result in carbon
monoxide poisoning or death:
The following steps shall be followed for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation, while all 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 in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Deter-
mine 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.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. 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 are
operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so
appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at
the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle. (Figure 7)
8. If improper venting is observed, during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223. 1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code.
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-fired burning

ForTwo PipeInstallation(DirectVent)
This furnace can NOT be common vented or connected to any
type B, BW or L vent or vent connector, nor to any portion of a
factory-built or masonry chimney. If this furnace is replacing a
previously common-vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize
the existing vent and chimney to prevent oversizing problems for
the other remaining appliance(s). See "Venting and Combustion
Air Check" in this section. This furnace MUST be vented to the
outside.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury or death.
Use methods described here to provide combustion
and ventilation air.
DualCertified(*9MPXModels)
This furnace is certified as a category iV appliance. This furnace
can be installed as a direct vent furnace using outside air for
combustion or the furnace can use air from inside the structure for
combustion. The INLET air pipe is optional. If combustion air
comes from inside the structure, adequate make up air MUST be
provided to compensate for oxygen burned. See Confined Space
Installation in the Combustion and Ventilation Air chapter. If
combustion air is drawn from outside the structure, it MUST be
taken from the same atmospheric pressure zone as the vent pipe.
ContaminatedCombustionAir
Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase the
exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the furnace.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or have
exposure to the substances listed below. The installation must be
evaluated carefully as it may be necessary to provide outside air
for combustion.
* Commercial buildings.
* Buildings with indoor pools.
* Furnaces installed in laundry rooms.
* Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms.
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
• Permanent wave solutions for hair.

The piping can be run in the same chase or adjacent to
supply or vent pipe for water supply or waste plumbing. It
can also be run in the same chase with a vent from another
90+ furnace.
NOTE: In NO case can the piping be run in a chase where
temperatures can exceed 140° F(60°C). or where radiated
heat from adjacent surfaces would exceed 140 ° F(60°C).
14. The vent outlet MUST be installed to terminate in the same
atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet.
15. The vent system can be installed in an existing unused
chimney provided that:
• Both the exhaust vent and air intake run the length of the
chimney.
• No other gas fired appliance or fireplace (solid fuel) is
vented into the chimney.
• The top of the chimney MUST be sealed flush or crowned
up to seal against rain or melting snow so ONLY the piping
protrudes.
The termination clearances shown in Figure 8 & Figure 9
are maintained.
16.
Furnace applications with vertical vents requiring vent
diameter increaser fittings must have increaser fittings
installed in vertical portion of the vent. Condensate will be
trapped in the vent if the vent diameter is increased prior to
having an elbow turned upward. This could cause nuisance
tripping of the pressure switch.
CombustionAirandVentPiping Insulation
Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent. If
Fiberglass or equivalent insulation is used it must have a vapor
barrier. Use R values of 7 up to 10' (3.1m), R-11 if exposure
exceeds 10' (3.1m). If Fiberglass insulation is used, exterior to the
structure, the pipe MUST be boxed in and sealed against
moisture.
1. When the vent or combustion air pipe height above the roof
exceeds 30" (76.2mm), or if an exterior vertical riser is used
on a horizontal vent to get above snow levels, the exterior
portion MUST be insulated.
2. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a
suspended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with
moisture resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other
equivalent type of insulation.
3. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm,
humid spaces.
SizingCombustionAirandVentPipe
Consult Table3 select the proper diameter exhaust and
combustion air piping. Exhaust and combustion air piping is sized
for each furnace BTUH size based on total lineal vent length (on
inlet or outlet side), and number of 90 ° elbows required. Two 45 °
elbows can be substituted for one 90° elbow. The elbow or elbows
used for vent termination outside the structure ARE counted,
including elbows needed to bring termination above expected
snow levels. The elbow inside the furnace on the *9MPX IS NOT
included in the count.
