IMPORTANT: Gas furnaces manufactured on or after
May 1, 2017 are not permitted to be used in Canada for
heating of buildings or structures under construction.
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the
same electrostatic potential.
1.Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple
disconnects may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE
CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2.Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held
in a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3.After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service
the control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing
to recharge your body with static electricity (for example;
DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch
ungrounded objects, etc.).
4.If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your
body with static electricity), firmly touch a clean,
unpainted metal surface of the furnace again before
touching control or wires.
5.Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled
(ungrounded) furnaces.
6.Before removing a new control from its container,
discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control from damage. If the control is to be
installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before
bringing the control or yourself in contact with the
furnace. Put all used and new controls into containers
before touching ungrounded objects.
7.An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.
Accessories
See Specification Sheets for a list of accessories for this
product.
Improper use or installation of this furnace may result in
premature furnace component failure. Unless otherwise
prohibited, this gas furnace may be used for heating
buildings under construction provided that:
−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 gas input rate has been
set to the nameplate value.
−The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or
thoroughly 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.
−Verify proper furnace operating conditions including
ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting
according to these installation instructions.

Ventilated Combustion Air Applications
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion
air option, the attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with
the outdoor to provide sufficient air for combustion. The
combustion air pipe cannot be terminated in attics or
crawlspaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate
during the heating season. If ventilation fans are present in
these areas, the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors
as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a
space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic,
crawlspace, or equipment closet) and the space is well isolated
from the living space or garage. In addition, other gas
appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require
outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to
insure that the roof or crawlspace walls have sufficient free
area to provide sufficient air for combustion and ventilation for
the furnaces. The guidelines below can be used to insure that
other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
U.S. Installations: Current edition of Section 9.3 of the
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation
and applicable provisions of the local building codes.
Canadian Installations: Current edition of Part 8 of

When the furnace is installed as a non-direct vent (1-pipe)
furnace, it will be necessary to insure there is adequate air for
combustion. Other gas appliances installed with the furnace
may also require air for combustion and ventilation in addition
to the amount of combustion air and ventilation air required for
the furnace. Follow the guidelines below to insure that the
furnace and other gas appliances have sufficient air for
combustion.
!
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products.
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans,
clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make−up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices, in
addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to the Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in the venting section of
these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of
make−up air is available.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend
upon whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a
volume of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh (4.8 cubic
meters per kW) input rating for all gas appliances installed in
the space.
Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh (4.8
cubic meters per kW) require the OUTDOORCOMBUSTION AIRMETHOD.

Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in
property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below freezing. This can cause
improper operation or damage to equipment. If furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and
drain line must be protected. The use of accessory drain trap
heaters, electric heat tape and/or RV antifreeze is required
for these installations.
!
PROPERY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in burst water pipes
and/or property damage.
If a condensate pump is installed, a plugged condensate
drain or a failed pump may cause the furnace to shut down.
Do not leave the home unattended during freezing weather
without turning off water supply and draining water pipes or
otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen pipes.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the
condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace. If possible, DO
NOT route the drain line where it may freeze. The drain line
must terminate at an inside drain to prevent freezing of the
condensate and possible property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below 32°F (0°C). This can cause
improper operation or damage to the equipment. If the furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and
drain line must be protected. In areas where the temperature
may be below 32°F (0°C), a Condensate Freeze Protection kit
is required. The kit includes a condensate trap with heat pad
and replaces the factory−installed condensate trap. Refer to the
accessory section of the Specification Sheets for current kit
number. A self−regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape
rated at 3 to 6 watt per foot (10 to 20 watt per meter) at 115 volt,
40° F (4° C) may be used to provide freeze protection of the
remaining condensate drain line. Wrap the drain trap and the
drain line with the heat tape and secure with appropriate plastic
ties. Follow the heat tape manufacturer’s recommendations.
Prime the trap before furnace operation.
The condensate drain line must be supported and/or secured
per local codes. Supports and clamps should be spaced to
prevent the drain line from sagging or being dislocated from the
furnace or termination point. In the absence of local codes,
consult current edition of the National Standard Plumbing
Code, in the US or current edition of the National Plumbing
Code of Canada in Canada.
CAUTION
CAUTION
c. All condensate piping is at least 1/2 in. PVC and
there is a relief tee at the top of condensate drain
piping as shown below:
NOTE: On narrower casings, it may be easier to remove the
condensate trap, connect the drain line components and
re-install the condensate trap. Read the steps thoroughly to
familiarize yourself with the required steps.
For Right Side Condensate Drain:
1. Remove the 7/8−in. knock−out from the right side of the
casing. (See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal
technique.)
2. Remove the pre−formed rubber drain elbow and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. Slide a spring clamp 1−in. (25 mm) down the plain end
(the end without the formed grommet) of the drain elbow.
4. From inside the casing, insert the formed grommet end
of the elbow through the 7/8−in. knockout in the casing.
5. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout
6. Attach the plain end of the drain elbow to the outlet stub
on the drain trap. Secure the drain elbow to the trap with
the spring clamp.
The remaining drain line can be constructed from field supplied
1/2−in. CPVC or 3/4−in. PVC pipe in compliance with local
building codes. A factory−supplied 1/2−in. CPVC to 3/4−in PVC
adapter is supplied in the loose parts bag for use as required.
7. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside of the furnace casing.
8. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter of the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
9. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code−approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4−in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Contractors have found that
temporarily removing the inducer assembly in upflow
applications while performing the steps below, makes upflow
left−side drain connections easier.
Figure 12Knockout Removal
Upflow/Downflow Orientation
In the Upflow or Downflow orientation, the condensate trap is
inside the furnace casing. The condensate drain must be
routed from the trap through the furnace casing. The
condensate drain can be routed through the left or right side of
the casing. (The left or right side is as you are viewing/facing
the furnace from the front.)
An indoor coil condensate drain or humidifier drain can be
connected to the external furnace condensate drain provided:
a. The drains are not hard piped together, and
b. There is an air gap at the point where the two drain
lines meet or

Specifications subject to change without notice.
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care
and wear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses and
gloves when handling parts, and servicing furnaces.
1. For left side condensate drainage, the drain line is routed
from the condensate trap, behind the inducer (upflow) or
gas valve (downflow) and out through the left side of the
furnace casing. A pre-formed 1/2−in. CPVC “Z” pipe is
provided with the furnace. The “Z“ pipe is long enough to
extend across the casing for drain connections.
2. Locate the “Z” pipe. Remove the pre-formed drain elbow
and four spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. The “Z” pipe is connected to the condensate trap and the
outside of the furnace by modifying the formed rubber
drain elbow as shown in Figure 17.
4. Remove the formed grommet from the rubber drain
elbow by cutting the elbow along the vertical line located
about 1 3/8−in. (35 mm) away from the formed grommet.
See Figure 15. DO NOT DISCARD THE FORMED
GROMMET OR THE RUBBER ELBOW. Both of these
pieces will be used.
Assemble and route the drain line to the opposite side of the
furnace as detailed below:
5. Remove the knock−out from the left side of the casing.
(See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal
technique.)
6. From the outside of the casing, insert the angled end of
the ”Z” pipe through drain hole in the left side of the
casing and behind the inducer or gas valve. Allow the ”Z”
pipe to temporarily rest on the blower shelf (upflow) or
burner box (downflow). (NOTE: When the inducer
housing has been removed to ease installation in upflow
applications, this step is not needed.)
7. After inserting the “Z” pipe through the casing, slide a
spring clamp over each end of the “Z” pipe.
8. From inside the casing, insert the short end of the formed
grommet cut from the rubber drain elbow through the
7/8−in. drain knockout in the casing.
9. Pull the grommet through the casing from the outside
until it is seated in the knockout.
10. Align the ”Z” pipe with the long end of the grommet inside
the furnace and insert slightly. The angled end of the
tube at the other side of the casing should be facing the
front of the furnace.
11. Slide a spring clamp over the end of the remaining
rubber drain elbow.
12. Attach the drain elbow to the angled end of ”Z” pipe and
the drain trap outlet stub. Adjust the length of ”Z” pipe
inserted into the grommet at the opposite side of the
furnace as necessary for proper fit and positioning. In
both upflow and downflow orientations, the ”Z” pipe
should NOT be resting on any sheet metal parts.
13. Secure the rubber elbow to the drain trap and the ”Z”
pipe with spring clamps.
14. Secure the grommet to the ”Z” pipe with the spring
clamp. The remaining drain line can be constructed from
field supplied 1/2−in. CPVC or 3/4−in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory−supplied
1/2−in. CPVC to 3/4−in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
15. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the grommet
on the outside the furnace casing.
16. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
17. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code−approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.
NOTICE
The field-supplied, accessory horizontal drain trap grommet
is ONLY REQUIRED FOR DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS. It
is NOT required for applications using single-pipe or ventilated combustion air venting.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: When installing the furnace
horizontally, use the entire drain elbow (that is, do NOT cut as
shown in Figure 15) to connect the trap to the drain line. This
helps to prevent bumps and shocks to the drain line from
damaging the furnace drain trap. Avoid misalignment of the
drain pipe which may cause kinks in the elbow.
Horizontal Orientation
1. The condensate trap outlet extends 2−in. (51 mm) below
the furnace casing. Leave enough clearance between
the furnace and the furnace platform for the trap.
2. To allow for servicing the trap, the condensate drain
elbow in the loose parts bag can be used to make a
coupler to allow for future service of the condensate trap
and drain line.
3. Remove the knock−out for the condensate trap in the
side of the casing.
4. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing, if required for
direct−vent applications. If necessary, remove the trap,
install the grommet and re−install the trap.
5. Remove the pre−formed rubber drain elbow and two
spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
6. Connect the full or modified elbow and/or grommet to the
outlet of the condensate trap with one spring clamp.
Avoid misalignment of the drain pipe which may cause
kinks in the elbow or grommet.
7. The remaining drain line can be constructed from field
supplied 1/2−in. CPVC or 3/4−in. PVC pipe, in
compliance with local building codes. A factory−supplied
1/2−in. CPVC to 3/4−in. PVC adapter is supplied in the
loose parts bag for use as required.
8. Install the adapter or connect the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe by
sliding a spring clamp over the open end of the elbow or
grommet on the outside the furnace casing.
9. Open the spring clamp and insert the long end of the
adapter or the 1/2−in. CPVC pipe into the outlet stub on
the drain elbow.
10. Connect additional condensate piping to a
code−approved drain, or to a condensate pump
approved for use with acidic furnace condensate and
compatible with mineral and vegetable oils, such as
canola oil.
Allow at least 1/4-in. per foot (20 mm per meter) of slope down
and away from the furnace in horizontal sections of drain line.

!
FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration device
installed. Never operate a furnace with filter or filtration
device access doors removed.
Furnaces shipped without a filter rack:
There are no provisions for an internal filter in these furnaces.
An external filter rack is required and is purchased separately.

Filter and Return Duct Sizing
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters,
filter racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See
Table 7 for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean
resistance to airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media
types and sizes. These are representative numbers. Consult
the filter or IAQ device manufacturers’ specification sheet for
performance data for a particular filter media or IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of
pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses
filter systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. w.c. (50 Pa),
with the best blower electrical efficiency and system airflow
performance occurring with filter pressure drops under 0.1 in.
w.c. (25 Pa).
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1-in (25 mm) thick
after-market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration
system be designed for at least 2-in (51 mm) thick media.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Install a media cabinet capable
of incorporating a 4-in (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows
room for future upgrades to other IAQ devices.
NOTICE
Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much pressure drop may be allowed in the filter system. See the AIR
DUCTS section. Excessive filter pressure drop often compromises system airflow and duct performance, causes inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the duct system, as well
as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated electrical
consumption.
Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition
airflow from the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device)
to the furnace when the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace
return air opening do not match the required filter or IAQ device
dimensions. See the instructions supplied with
factory-accessory duct adapters.
* Representative estimates from filter manufacturer data sheets.

If the filter size that you are looking for is not contained in Table 7, refer to Table 8 for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean
resistance to airflow) versus Face Velocity for a variety of filter media types.
The following equations relate Face Velocity (FPM), Filter Area and Airflow (CFM):

your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to
handle the required system design CFM at the design external
static pressure. The furnace airflow rates are provided in the
Service and Technical Support Manual. When a furnace is
installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the
furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the
return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the
furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork
used. Seal supply− and return−duct connections to furnace
with code approved tape or duct sealer.
NOTE: Flexible connections should be used between ductwork
and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration.
Ductwork passing through unconditioned space should be
insulated to enhance system performance. When air
conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1−in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials
to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36−in. (914 mm)
horizontally from the furnace. See current edition of the NFPA
90B or local code for further requirements.
Return Duct Sizing
Refer to the Filter Selection and Duct Sizing section for
information on the proper selection of filter sizes and the
associated ductwork and duct transitions. Improperly designed
filtering systems and return ductwork are the most common
causes of airflow and/or noise complaints in HVAC systems.
Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
NOTE: Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow
and 10 ft. (3 M) of main duct to the first branch take−off may
require internal acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous
ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in
accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction
standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and
fibrous ductwork shall comply with current edition of the NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top most flange may be
bent past 90_ to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange
temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the
coil are performed.

WARNING
General
If this furnace replaces a furnace that was connected to a vent
system or chimney, the vent or vent connectors of other
remaining appliances may need to be re−sized. Vent systems
or vent connectors of other appliances must be sized to the
minimum size as determined using appropriate table found in
the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA
54/ANSI Z−223.1. In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA−B149.1
An abandoned masonry chimney may be used as a raceway
for properly insulated and supported combustion−air (when
applicable) and vent pipes. Each furnace must have its own set
of combustion−air and vent pipes and be terminated
individually, as shown in Figure 52 for Direct Vent (2−Pipe)
system, or Figure 53 for single−pipe or ventilated combustion
air option.
A furnace shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel. Other gas
appliances with their own venting system may also use the
abandoned chimney as a raceway providing it is permitted by
local code, the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
and the vent or liner manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Care must be taken to prevent the exhaust gases from one
appliance from contaminating the combustion air of other gas
appliances.
Do not take combustion air from inside the chimney when using
ventilated combustion air or single−pipe vent option.
These furnaces can be vented as direct−vent (two−pipe),
ventilated combustion air, or non-direct (single−pipe) vent
system. Each type of venting system is described below.
Common venting between these furnaces or other appliances
is prohibited.
Materials
U.S.A.
Combustion air and vent pipe, fittings, primers, and solvents
must conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
standards and American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) standards. See Table 13 for approved materials for
use in the U.S.A. This furnace is also CSA approved for venting
with M&G DuraVent® PolyPro® polyproplylene venting
systems.
Canada
Installation in Canada must conform to the requirements of
CAN/CSA B149 code. Vent systems must be composed of
pipe, fittings, cements, and primers listed to ULC S636. M&G
DuraVent PolyPro polyproplylene venting systems are ULC
S636 listed.
NOTE: When using polypropylene venting systems, all venting
materials used, including the vent terminations, must be from
the same manufacturer.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the instructions outlined in Locating the Vent
Termination for each appliance being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
For all venting configurations for this appliance and other gas
appliances placed into operation for the structure, provisions for
adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be
provided in accordance with:
U.S.A. Installations: Current edition of Section 9.3 NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
Canadian Installations: Current edition of Part 8 of
CAN/CSA−B149.1. Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances and all authorities having jurisdiction.
It is recommended that sidewall vent terminations of over 24
inches (0.6 M) in length or rooftop vent terminations of over
36 inches (1 M) in length be supported by EITHER the factory accessory vent termination kit or field-supplied brackets
or supports attached to the structure. A factory accessory
vent termination kit may be used for direct vent terminations.
Termination kits are available for 2-in. or 3-in. pipe. See
Table 12 for available options.
Direct Vent / 2−Pipe System
In a direct−vent (2−pipe) system, all air for combustion is taken
directly from outdoor atmosphere, and all flue products are
discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Combustion-air and vent
pipes must terminate together in the same atmospheric
pressure zone, either through the roof (preferred) or a sidewall.
See Figure 65 for references to clearances required by
National code authorities.
NOTICE
space or garage. Combustion air requirements for this option
are the same as the requirements for providing outside air for
combustion for a single pipe vent system. Refer to the “Air For
Combustion and Ventilation Section.”
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
Non-Direct Vent (1-pipe) System
In a non direct-vent (1-pipe) system, all air for combustion is
taken from the area adjacent to furnace, and all flue products
are discharged to outdoor atmosphere. Air for combustion
must be supplied as described in the Air For Combustion and
Ventilation Section. Do not use an abandoned chimney to
supply outside air to the furnace. See Figure 66 for references
to clearances required by National code authorities.
A combustion air pipe to the outdoors is not required for a
single pipe vent system. A 12-in. (304 mm) long pipe with a
2−in. (50 mm Nominal Dimension− ND) tight radius 90 degree
elbow is required to be attached to the combustion air pipe
adapter on the furnace. (See Figure 62) This short inlet air pipe
helps to ensure stable combustion, as well as allow for sound
attenuation. To aid sound attenuation, point the inlet air pipe
away from occupants. An extra elbow and/or five feet (1.5 M) of
pipe may be used to accomplish the sound attenuation
function.
NOTICE
OPTIONAL VENTING BELOW THE FURNACE
The venting system may be positioned below the furnace
ONLY IF the factory accessory External Vent Trap Kit is used.
The External Vent Trap Kit is only approved for PVC/ABS
DWV venting systems.
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
WITH THE EXTERNAL VENT TRAP KIT FOR LAYING OUT
THE VENTING SYSTEM AND THE DRAIN SYSTEM. The
instructions included with this furnace DO NOT APPLY to

OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture
entering the combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture trap may be
added to the inlet pipe to help prevent moisture from entering
the furnace from the combustion air inlet pipe. See Figure 55.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of the
optional inlet pipe moisture trap must be taken into account.
Ventilated Combustion Air Systems
In a ventilated combustion air option, the vent terminates and
discharges the flue products directly to the outdoors similar to a
direct vent system. See Figure 66 for references to clearances
required by National code authorities.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a
space that is well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic or
crawl space) and the space is well isolated from the living

Locating the Vent Termination
General
NOTE: Termination Requirements for the Provinces of
Alberta and Saskatchewan are located at the end of this
section.
Combustion−air inlet pipe (Direct Vent/2−Pipe system only) and
vent pipe must terminate outside structure, either through
sidewall or roof.
For vent termination clearance, references to National codes
are shown in Figure 65for Direct Vent/2−Pipe system and
Figure 66 for Ventilated Combustion Air/Non−direct
Vent/1−Pipe system. For exterior termination arrangements,
refer to Figure 65for Direct Vent/2−Pipe system and Figure 66
for Ventilated Combustion Air/Non− Direct/1−Pipe system.
Contact Local code authorities for other requirements to and/or
exemptions from the National codes shown in the figures.
Roof termination is the recommended termination location.
Roof terminations provide better performance against
sustained prevailing winds. The roof location is preferred since
the vent and combustion air system is less susceptible to
damage or contamination. The termination is usually located
away from adjacent structures or other obstacles such as
inside corners, windows, doors or other appliances. It is less
prone to icing conditions, and it often has less visible vent
vapors.
Sidewall terminations may require sealing or shielding of
building surfaces with a corrosive resistance material due to the
corrosive properties of combustion products from the vent
system, as well as protection of adjacent structures.
NOTICE
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
It is recommended that side-wall vent terminations in excess
of 24 inches (0.6 M) or rooftop terminations in excess of 36
inches (1.0 M) in vertical length be supported by EITHER the
Direct Vent Termination Kit shown in Table 12 or by field-sup-
plied brackets or supports fastened to the structure.
NOTE: (Direct Vent/2−Pipe system ONLY) Terminate with the
standard termination as shown in Figure 65 or use a
factory−approved accessory termination kit.
When determining appropriate location for termination, consider
the following guidelines:
1. Comply with all clearance requirements stated in
Figure 65 or Figure 66 per application.
2. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where
vent vapors will not damage plants/shrubs, air
conditioning equipment or utility meters.
3. Do not locate termination directly into prevailing winds.
Termination should be positioned so that it will not be
affected by sustained prevailing winds over 30 mph,
wind eddy, such as inside building corners, or by
recirculation of flue gases, airborne leaves, or light snow.
4. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where
it will not be damaged by or subjected to foreign objects
such as stones, balls, etc.
5. Termination or termination kit should be positioned where
vent vapors are not objectionable.
Inside Corner Terminations
Inside corner vent terminations are permitted provided that:
1. Only two exterior walls come together to form an angle of
90 degrees to 135 degrees. There are no other exterior
walls attached to either wall to form an alcove.
2. The clearance distances apply when the vent is at least
3 feet (1 meter) from, but not more than 6 feet (2 meters)
away from an inside corner.
3. For vent terminations located more than 6 feet (2 meters)
from an inside corner, refer to the appropriate Direct Vent
Clearance Table for all two pipe terminations or
Non−Direct Vent Clearance Table for all single pipe
terminations.
4. The clearance distances to items between the vent
termination and the outside corner, refer to the
appropriate Direct Vent Clearance Table for all two pipe
terminations or Non−Direct Vent Clearance Table for all
single pipe terminations.
Clearance distances for
items greater than 3 feet
(1 meter ) away from the
inside corner, refer to the
Inside Corner Clearance

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the instructions outlined in Locating the Vent
Termination for each appliance being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
For all venting configurations for this appliance and other gas
appliances placed into operation for the structure, provisions
for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be
provided in accordance with:
U.S.A. Installations: Current edition of Section 9.3 NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
Canadian Installations: Current edition of Part 8 of
CAN/CSA−B149.1. Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Ventilated Combustion Air
The vent pipe for a Ventilated Combustion Air System must
terminate outdoors. See Figure 65 for references to vent
clearances required by National code authorities. Allowable
vent terminations are shown in Figure 53. The combustion air
pipe terminates in a well−ventilated attic or crawl space. Follow
the clearances as shown in Figure 63 and Figure 64.
The combustion air pipe cannot terminate in attics or crawl
spaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate in the
heating season. If ventilation fans are present in these areas,
the combustion air pipe must terminate outdoors as a Direct
Vent System.
Non−Direct Vent / 1−Pipe System
The vent pipe for a Non Direct Vent (1−pipe) system must
terminate outdoors. See Figure 66 for references to vent
clearances required by National code authorities. Allowable
vent terminations are shown in Figure 53.
A combustion air inlet pipe to the outdoors is not required for a
Non−Direct Vent System. A 12−in. long section of pipe with a
tight radius 2−in. (51 mm) 90 degree elbow is required to be
attached to the furnace. See Figure 49 and Figure 51. This
short inlet air pipe helps to ensure inlet air pipe away from
occupants. An extra elbow and/or 5 ft. (1.5 M) of pipe may be
used to accomplish the sound attenuation function.
Termination Requirements for the
Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan
The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan require a
minimum unobstructed distance of 4 ft. (1.2 M) from the
foundation to the property line of the adjacent lot for vent
termination of any appliance with an input over 35,000 btuh. If
there is less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) of unobstructed distance to the
property line of the adjacent lot, no type of vent termination is
permitted for appliances with inputs greater than 35,000 btuh.
There are no additional restrictions on unobstructed distances
greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M). All single, two-pipe and concentric
vents may be used, providing all other Code and
manufacturer’s requirements in these instructions are adhered
to. Refer to the appropriate Vent Termination section above for
locating the vent termination .
If the unobstructed distance from the foundation to the property
line of the adjacent lot is no less than 4 ft. (1.2 M) and no
greater than 8 ft. (2.4 M), it will be necessary to re-direct the
flue gas plume. In this situation, a concentric vent kit cannot be
used. A 2-pipe termination (or single pipe termination when
permitted) that re-directs the flue gas away by use of an elbow
or tee, certified to ULC S636
must be used. (See Figure 49 and Figure 51)
The concentric vent kit currently cannot be modified to attach
an elbow to the vent portion of the rain cap. A tee attached to
the rain cap could potentially direct the flue gas plume toward
the intake air stream and contaminate the incoming combustion
air for the furnace.
Refer to Figure 49 and Figure 51 for terminations approved for
use in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Combustion Air Inlet Moisture Trap
To prevent moisture from trickling into the furnace vestibule, a
trap can be installed in the intake air pipe near the furnace.
Connecting a drain line to the trap is recommended as trace
amounts of moisture will evaporate into the intake air stream. If
the combustion air inlet is located near a moisture exhaust
duct, or there are other concerns of excessive moisture being
drawn into the combustion air inlet, it is encouraged to connect
a drain line to the trap.
The trap can be constructed from a running tee of the same
diameter of the intake air pipe with EITHER a removable cap
attached to a 6-inch long pipe connected to the tee or the
External vent Trap Kit to help prevent contaminants from
entering the furnace. See Figure 55.
The External Vent Trap Kit accessory may be used as a trap for
the combustion air inlet pipe if a large amount of moisture must
be removed. The drain line may be connected to the same
drain as the furnace condensate and the evaporator coil
condensate line ONLY if the inlet air trap drain and the
evaporator coil drain empty into an open segment of pipe
above the drain, See Figure 13. When using the External Vent
Trap Kit, refer to those instructions for proper drain
connections.
The tee may also be connected to the intake air pipe on the
side of the casing. See Figure 55.
In any configuration, it will be necessary to add the equivalent

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR POLYPROPYLENE
VENTING SYSTEMS
Polypropylene venting systems include flexible vent pipe.
These flexible vent pipes have a different equivalent vent
length than straight sections of PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe. Be
sure to make the appropriate deductions from the Maximum
Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL), or additions to the Total
Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL), when applying flexible vent
pipes in polypropylene venting systems. See the polypropylene vent system manufacturer’s installation instructions for
details.
When using metric-sized venting systems, use these equivalencies for obtaining the proper MEVL from the Tables:
Use 2” Vent Tables for 60mm (o.d.) vent systems
Use 3” Vent Tables for 80mm (o.d.) vent systems
Use 4” Vent Tables for 100mm (o.d.) vent systems
The measured length of pipe used in a single or 2−pipe
termination is included in the total vent length. Include
deductions from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL)
contained in the Venting Tables for elbows and flexible vent
pipe. Factory accessory concentric vent terminations, or pipe
lengths and elbows used for “standard” vent terminations (see
vent termination figures associated with Table 14) do not
require a deduction from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length.
Include a deduction for a Tee when used for Alberta and
Saskatchewan terminations.
NOTE: Polypropylene venting systems MAY require additional
deductions from the MEVL, or additions to the TEVL, for vent
terminations and flexible pipe sections. See the polypropylene
venting system manufacturer’s instructions for details on
equivalent lengths of vent terminations and flexible vent pipes,
and for calculating total vent lengths.
To calculate the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) of the
venting system:
1. Measure the individual distance from the furnace to the
termination for each pipe.
2. Count the number of elbows for each pipe.
3. For each pipe, multiply the number of elbows by the
equivalent length for the type of elbow used. Record the
equivalent length of all the elbows for each pipe.
4. If a Tee is used on the termination (Alberta and
Saskatchewan, when required), record the equivalent
length of the Tee used.
5. Calculate Total Equivalent Vent Length by adding the
equivalent lengths of the fittings to the lengths of the
individual vent and combustion air pipes.
6. When using polypropylene venting systems with flexible
vent pipes, perform adjustments for the equivalent length
of the flexible vent pipe to the calculated total equivalent
venting system length. See the polypropylene vent
system manufacturer’s instructions for details.
7. Select a diameter of vent pipe from Table 14 and note
the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length (MEVL) shown for
that application for that specific furnace input size.
Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length (TEVL) to the
MEVL:
a. If the Total Equivalent Vent Length is shorter than the
Maximum Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of
pipe chosen, then that diameter of pipe selected may
be used.
b. If the Total Vent Length is longer than the Maximum
Equivalent Vent Length for the diameter of pipe
chosen, that diameter pipe MAY NOT be used for
venting the furnace. Try the next larger diameter pipe.
NOTE: If the calculated Total Equivalent Vent Lengths results
in different diameter pipes for the vent and combustion air,
select the larger diameter for both pipes.
NOTE: If the Maximum Vent Length for diameter of the pipe
selected is longer than the measured length and the equivalent
length of all the fittings and terminations (TEVL), recalculate
Total Equivalent Vent Length using the next smaller diameter. If
the Maximum Vent Length is still longer than the longer TEVL
of the vent pipe or combustion air pipe, then that diameter of
pipe selected may be used.
When installing vent systems with pipe lengths of 10 ft. (3.0 M)
or less, use the smallest allowable pipe diameter. Using pipe
size greater than required for short venting systems may result
in loss of efficiency, incomplete combustion, flame disturbance,
or flame sense lockout.
For vent systems longer than 10 ft. (3.0 M), any larger diameter
shown in Table 14 for that size model may be used.

Combustion Air and Vent Piping Insulation
Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent.
The vent pipe may pass through unconditioned areas. The
amount of exposed pipe allowed is shown in Table 16.
1. Using winter design temperature (used in load
calculations), find appropriate temperature for your
application and furnace model.
2. Determine the amount of total and exposed vent pipe.
3. Determine required insulation thickness for exposed pipe
length(s).
50440 01 4005 05
Specifications subject to change without notice.
4. 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.
5. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm,
humid spaces.
6. Install the insulation per the insulation manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
NOTE: Pipe length (ft / M) specified for maximum pipe lengths
located in unconditioned spaces (See Table 16) cannot exceed
total allowable pipe length as calculated from Table 14.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
To route the vent pipe and combustion air pipe through the
furnace, the manufacturer supplied kit must be used. Failure
to properly seal the blower compartment from the furnace
vestibule could result in the circulation of carbon monoxide
throughout the structure. The vent pipe and combustion air
pipe must be a continuous pipe while passing through the
blower compartment. Seals supplied in this kit must be
installed per the instructions provided. Follow all procedures
outlined in these instructions.
WARNING
Near Furnace Vent Connections
Offsets in the vertical portion of the vent pipe should be made
with 45 degree elbows instead of 90 degree elbows. Short
horizontal runs of vent pipe are difficult to pitch correctly and
may trap water in the vent pipe. Trapped water in the vent pipe
may result in nuisance pressure switch tripping.
Figure 56Near Furnace Vent Connections
Install the Vent and Combustion Air Pipes
With the furnace installed in the required position, remove the
desired knockouts from the casing. It will be necessary to
remove one knockout for the vent pipe and the other knockout
for the combustion air connection. (See Figure 12)
Use a flat blade screwdriver and tap on the knockout on
opposite sides, where the knockout meets the casing. Fold the
knockout down with duct pliers and work the knockout back
and forth until it is removed. Trim any excess metal from the
knockout with tin snips.
The vent elbow can be rotated to the required location on the
casing if necessary. See Figure 57 to rotate the vent elbow:
1. Loosen the clamp on the inlet of the vent elbow attached
to the inducer.
2. Rotate the vent elbow to the required position. There are
rounded notches in the vent elbow to align it with the
inducer for each orientation.
3. Tighten the clamp around the vent elbow. Torque the
clamp to 15 lb-in. See Figure 58 through Figure 61.

Installing the Vent Termination
Roof Terminations
A roof termination of any type will require a 4-in. (102 mm)
flashing for a 2−in. (50 mm ND) concentric vent or a 5−in. (127
mm) diameter flashing for a 3-in. (80 mm ND) concentric vent
kit. For two-pipe or single pipe vent systems, a flashing for each
pipe of the required diameter will be necessary.
It is recommended that the flashing be installed by a roofer or
competent professional prior to installing the concentric vent.
The terminations can be installed on a flat or pitched roof.
Concentric Vent
Single or multiple concentric vent must be installed as shown in
Figure 52. Maintain the required separation distance between
vents or pairs of vents as shown in Figure 52 and all
clearance shown in Figure 65.

Recommended Support for Vent Terminations
It is recommended that rooftop vent terminations in excess of
36 inches (1.0 M) in vertical length be supported by EITHER the
Direct Vent Termination Kit shown in Table 12 or by
field-supplied brackets or supports fastened to the structure.
Cut the required number of holes in the roof or sidewall for vent
and (when used) combustion air pipes. Sidewall holes for
two-pipe vent terminations should be side-by-side, allowing
space between the pipes for the elbows to fit on the pipes.
Holes in the roof for direct−vent (two−pipe) terminations should
be spaced no more than 18−in. (457 mm) apart to help avoid
vent gas recirculation into combustion air intake.
Termination elbows will be installed after the vent and (if used)
combustion air pipe is installed.

Inducer Outlet Restrictor
To improve efficiency and operation of 26K, 40K, 60K, or 100K
BTUH input models on very short vent systems, an inducer
outlet restrictor is required to be installed on the outlet of the
inducer assembly. The outlet restrictor is shown in the footnote
of Table 14 − Maximum Equivalent Vent Length. The outlet
restrictor for 26K and 40K models is shipped in the loose parts
bag. See Table 14 for usage, part numbers and sourcing of
26K, 40K, 60K and 100K inducer outlet restrictors.
To determine if the outlet restrictor is required, see Table 14.
Failure to use an outlet restrictor on the 40K model when
required may result in flame disturbance or flame sense
lockout.
To install the outlet restrictor:
1. Remove the vent elbow from the inducer outlet
2. Align the lock tabs on the outlet restrictor with the slots
on inside outlet of the inducer assembly.
