Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions Procedure
!
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
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.

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
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.
General
These furnaces are shipped with materials to assist in proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main blower compartment.
See Table 2 for loose parts bag contents. This furnace must:
be installed so the electrical components are protected
from water.
not be installed directly on any combustible material other
than wood flooring (refer to SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
CAUTION

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
CAN/CSAB149.1, Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances and all authorities having jurisdiction.
L12F011
Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full−heat or full−cool position.
Air for Combustion and Ventilation
Introduction
Direct Vent (2−pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion are required. However, other gas appliances installed in the space with the furnace may require outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to insure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
NonDirect Vent (1−pipe) Applications
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. Makeup 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 makeup 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 OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR METHOD.
Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh (4.8
cubic meters per kW) may use the INDOOR
COMBUSTION AIR, STANDARD or KNOWN AIR INFILTRATION METHOD.

FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
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 factoryinstalled condensate trap. Refer to the accessory section of the Specification Sheets for current kit number. A selfregulating, 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.

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 7/8in. knockout from the right side of the
casing. (See Figure 12 for suggested knockout removal technique.)
2. Remove the preformed rubber drain elbow and two spring clamps from the loose parts bag.
3. Slide a spring clamp 1in. (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 7/8in. 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 1/2in. 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 1/2in. 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 codeapproved 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 leftside drain connections easier.
Figure 12 Knockout 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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Gas Furnace: (F/G)9MXT, (F/G)9MXE
For Left Side Condensate Drain Connection:
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 3/8in. (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 knockout 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 7/8in. 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 1/2in. CPVC or 3/4in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local building codes. A factory−supplied 1/2in. 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 1/2in. 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 codeapproved 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 2in. (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 knockout for the condensate trap in the side of the casing.
4. Install the drain trap grommet in the casing, if required for directvent applications. If necessary, remove the trap, install the grommet and re−install the trap.
5. Remove the preformed 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 1/2in. CPVC or 3/4in. PVC pipe, in compliance with local building codes. A factory−supplied 1/2in. 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 1/2in. 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 codeapproved 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.

RollOut Protection
Provide a minimum 12−in. x 22−in. (305 x 559 mm) piece of sheet metal for flame rollout protection in front of burner area for furnaces closer than 12in. (305 mm) above the combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12−in. (305mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1−in. (25mm) with the door removed. The bottom closure panel may be used for flame roll−out protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Figure 28 for proper orientation of roll−out shield.
Supply Air Connections
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks. Connect supplyair duct to flanges on furnace supply−air outlet. Bend flange upward to 90_ with wide duct pliers. (See Figure 24) The supplyair duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply−outlet−air duct flanges or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing side to attach supply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All supply−side accessories MUST be connected to duct external to furnace main casing.
Return Air Connections
The returnair duct may be connected to bottom of the furnace. The side of casing that faces downward may also be used for return air connection. A combination of the bottom and downward facing side may also be used. The upward facing side of the casing cannot be used as a return air connection. (See Figure 31)
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom return−air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Figure 21 and Figure 20.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom return−air opening. This panel MUST be in place when side return air inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet. Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air connections (See Figure 31) Where required by code, seal bottom closure to furnace with tape, mastic or other durable sealing method.

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. A field supplied accessory air cleaner may also be used in place of the filter rack. For upflow applications, the filter can be installed on either side of the furnace, the bottom of the furnace or any combination of side and bottom of the furnace. (See Figure 30, Figure 33, and
Figure 32)
WARNING
For downflow applications, the filter rack (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace (See Figure 29 and Figure 32 and Table 9). For horizontal applications, the filter rack (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) can be connected to the bottom opening on the furnace. For side return use in the horizontal position, refer to Figure 31. If both side and bottom openings are used in Figure 31, each opening used will require a filter. A filter rack or any field supplied accessory air cleaner can also be installed in the common return duct prior to entering the return air opening in any orientation. See Table 6 for recommended filter size details.

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.

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 returnduct 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 1in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36in. (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 takeoff 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.

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. 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.
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and hori­zontal pitch, as required in the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and oth­er deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condi­tion.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and win­dows and all doors between the space in which the ap­pliance(s) connected to the venting system are loc­ated and other spaces of the building.
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.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the current edition of 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 gasfired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
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 resized. 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 combustionair (when applicable) and vent pipes. Each furnace must have its own set of combustionair and vent pipes and be terminated individually, as shown in Figure 52 for Direct Vent (2−Pipe) system, or Figure 53 for singlepipe 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 singlepipe vent option.
These furnaces can be vented as directvent (two−pipe), ventilated combustion air, or non-direct (singlepipe) vent system. Each type of venting system is described below. Common venting between these furnaces or other appliances is prohibited.
Materials

RECOMMENDED SUPPORT FOR VENT TERMINATIONS
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 directvent (2pipe) 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 2in. (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 vent systems that are located below the furnace
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.
Combustionair inlet pipe (Direct Vent/2Pipe 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 65 for Direct Vent/2Pipe system and Figure 66 for Ventilated Combustion Air/Non−direct Vent/1Pipe system. For exterior termination arrangements, refer to Figure 65 for Direct Vent/2Pipe system and Figure 66 for Ventilated Combustion Air/Non Direct/1Pipe 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 factoryapproved 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 NonDirect 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 NonDirect Vent Clearance Table for all single pipe terminations.

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/CSAB149.1. 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.
NonDirect Vent / 1−Pipe System
The vent pipe for a Non Direct Vent (1pipe) 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 NonDirect Vent System. A 12in. long section of pipe with a tight radius 2in. (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 length of the tee (15 feet/5 M) to the Total Equivalent Vent

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
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Gas Furnace: (F/G)9MXT, (F/G)9MXE
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).
50 440 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.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
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 56 Near 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.
Figure 57 Inducer Vent Elbow PSC
Avoid short horizontal offsets with 90 deg. Elbows. Short offsets can be difficult to slope and may trap con­densate.
Use 45 deg. Elbows where possible, to ensure conden­sate drainage.

NOTES:
1. Use only the smallest diameter pipe possible for venting. Over−sizing may cause flame disturbance or excessive vent terminal icing or freeze−up.
2. NA = Not allowed. Pressure switch will not close, or flame disturbance may result.
3. Not all furnace families include 26,000 or 140,000 BTUH input models.
4. Vent sizing for Canadian installation over 4500 ft. (1370 m) above sea level are subject to acceptance by local authorities having jurisdiction.
5. Size both the combustion air and vent pipe independently, then use the larger size for both pipes.
6. Assume two 45° degree elbows equal one 90° degree elbow. Wide radius elbows are desirable and may be required in some cases.
7. Elbow and pipe sections within the furnace casing and at the vent termination should not be included in vent length or elbow count.
8. The minimum pipe length is 5 (1.5) linear feet (meters) for all applications.
9. Use 3−in (76 mm) diameter vent termination kit for installations requiring a 4−in (102 mm) diameter pipe.

Venting System Length Calculations
The Total Equivalent Vent Length for EACH combustion air or vent pipe equals the length of the venting system, plus the equivalent length of elbows used in the venting system from Table 15. Standard vent terminations or factory accessory concentric vent terminations count for zero deduction. See vent system manufacturer’s data for equivalent lengths of flexible vent pipe or other termination systems. DO NOT ASSUME that one foot of flexible vent pipe equals one foot of straight PVC/ABS DWV vent pipe. Compare the Total Equivalent Vent Length to the Maximum Equivalent Vent Lengths in Table 14.
Example 1
A direct-vent 60,000 BTUH furnace installed at 2100 ft. (640M). Venting system includes FOR EACH PIPE: 70 feet (22 M) of vent pipe, 65 feet (20 M) of combustion air inlet pipe, (3) 90º long-radius elbows, (2) 45º long-radius elbows, and a factory accessory concentric vent kit.
Can this application use 2-in. (50 mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV vent piping?
Measure the required linear length of air inlet and vent pipe; insert the longest of the two here Add equiv length of (3) 90º long-radius elbows (use the highest number of elbows for either the vent or inlet pipe)
Add equiv length of (2) 45º long-radius elbows (use the highest number of elbows for either the vent or inlet pipe)
