Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service provided it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recom-
mends that users of gas- burning appliances install carbon
monoxide detectors. There can be various sources of car-
bon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The sources could
be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water
heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces,
and several other items. Carbon monoxide can cause seri-
ous bodily injury and/or death. Therefore, to help alert
people of potentially dangerous carbon monoxide levels,
you should have carbon monoxide detectors listed by a na-
tionally recognized agency (e.g. Underwriters Laborato-
ries or International Approval Services) installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note below).
Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless gas
produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a build-
ing or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily in-
jury, death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to
alert people of potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you
should have fire and smoke detectors listed by Underwrit-
ers Laboratories installed and maintained in the building or
dwelling (see Note below).
Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any de-
tectors and makes no representations regarding any brand
or type of detector.
C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you
should do the the following:
1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit.
This will help you understand how your unit operates and
the hazards involved with gas and electricity.
2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that pro-
vide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper com-
bustion and ventilation of flue gases.
FreezingTemperaturesand YourStructure
Freeze warning.
Turn off water system.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather
the water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting
in serious water damage.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep it from op-
erating if sensors detect abnormal conditions such as clogged ex-
haust flues.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather the water pipes
could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.
Ifthe structure will be unattended during cold weather you should
take these precautions.
1. Turn off main supply water into the structure and drain the
water lines if possible. Open faucets in appropriate areas.
2. Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Suggest they call qualified service agency, if
required.

2. Installation
Poison carbon monoxide gas Hazard.
This furnace can NOT be common vented or
connected to any type B, BW or L vent or vent
connector, nor to any portion of a factory-built or
masonry chimney. If this furnace is replacing a
previously common-vented furnace, it may be
necessary to resize the existing vent and
chimney to prevent oversizing problems for the
other remaining appliance(s). See Venting and
Combustion Air Check in Gas Vent Installation
section. This furnace MUST be vented to the
outside.
Failure to properly vent this furnace or other
appliances can result in death, personal injury
and/or property damage.
2. Disconnect the 3/4" OD rubber hose from the condensate
trap. Insert a funnel into the hose and and pour four(4)
ounces of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the plastic
Transition box. Squeeze the hose together near the end
and quickly reconnect the 3/4" OD rubber hose to the stub
on the condensate trap. Secure with the hose clamp.
When you return home, your furnace will be ready to start, as it is
not necessary to drain the antifreeze from the furnace.

2. This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of build-
ings or structures under construction.
3. Install furnace as centralized as practical with respect to the
heat distribution system.
4. Install the vent pipes as short as practical. (See Vent and
Combustion Air Piping section).
5. Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front
clearance of 30" is recommended for access to the burner,
controls and filter.
6. Use a raised base for upflow furnace if the floor is damp or
wet at times.
For downflow installations, non combustible subbase must
be used under the furnace unless installation is on a non
combustible floor surface. This requirement applies even
when a coi! box or cabinet is used.
Fire Hazard.
Place furnace on noncombustible subbase on
downflow applications, unless installing on
non-combustible flooring.
Failure to install unit on noncombustible
subbase can result in death, personal injury
and/or property damage.
For horizontal installations, line contact is permissible only
between lines formed by intersection of back and two sides
of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs or framing.
9.
Residential garage installations require:
Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18" above
the floor.
• Located or physically protected from possible damage
by a vehicle.
10. Local codes may require a drain pan under the entire fur-
nace and condensate trap when the furnace is installed in
attic application.
InstallationPositions
This furnace can be installed in an upflow, horizontal (either left or
right) or downflow airflow position. DO NOT install this furnace on
its back. For the upflow position, the return air ductwork can be
attached to either the left or right side panel and/or the bottom. For
horizontal and downflow positions, the return air ductwork must
be attached to the bottom. The return air ductwork must never be
attached to the back of the furnace.
quired for the condensate trap. Downward slope of the conden-
sate drain line from the condensate trap to the drain location must
be provided. Adequate freeze protection of the drain trap and the
drain line must be provided. See "Condensate Drain Trap"section
for further details.
Leveling
Proper leveling of the furnace must be provided to insure proper
drainage of the condensate from the furnace. The furnace must
be level to within 1/4" from front to back and from side to side for
upflow and downflow installations or top to bottom for horizontal
installations.
Vent and Combustion Air Connections
On the Dual Certified furnace, the vent and combustion air pipes
attach to the furnace through the top panel for the upflow and hori-
zontal installations. For the downflow installation, the vent and
combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the alternate
locations on the furnace side panels.
Note: On the Direct Vent furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the fur-
nace through the side panels. The combustion air pipe attaches to
the top panel or to the alternate location on the side panel.
On the Single Pipe furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the furnace
through the furnace side panels.
Note: Repositioning of the combustion blower is required for the
vent pipe connection to the furnace through the "right side" panel.
See "Vent and Combustion Air Piping" section for further details.
HorizontalFurnaceInstallation
This furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement,
crawl space, alcove, or suspended from a ceiling in a basement or
utility room (See Figure 4). Do not install furnace on its back or in
the reverse airflow positions as safety control operation will be ad-
versely affected.

FurnaceInstallationConsiderations
The installation of the furnace for a given application will dictate
the position of the furnace, the airflow, ductwork connections,
vent and combustion air piping. Consideration must be given to
the following:
CondensateTrap and Drain Lines
The supplied condensate trap must be attached to the furnace
side panel on either the left or right side. For horizontal installa-
tions, the drain trap is vertically attached to the side panel below
the furnace. A minimum clearance of 6" below the furnace is re-
44001 2011O0
25-23-34
NOTE: 5" bottom clearance required for condensate trap.
If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a crawl
space or the rafters in an attic, it is necessary to use steel pipe
straps or an angle iron frame to rigidly attach the furnace to pre-
vent movement. These straps should be attached to the furnace
with sheet metal screws and to the rafters or joists with bolts. The
preferred method is to use an angle iron frame bolted to the rafters
or joists. (Take caution to allow door panels to be removed for
maintenance)

3. Combustion & Ventilation Air
Poison carbon monoxide gas Hazard.
Use methods described here to provide
combustion and ventilation air.
Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in death and/or
personal injury.
Ventingand CombustionAir Check
NOTE: The following information is supplied to allow the installer
to make adjustments to the setup of existing appliances, IF
REQUIRED, based on good trade practices, local codes, and
good judgement of the installer. Manufacturer does NOT take re-
sponsibility for modifications made to existing equipment.
NOTE: If this installation replaces an existing furnace from a
commonly vented system, make sure there is adequate combus-
tion air for all appliances, MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHECK.
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and hor-
izontal pitch to ensure there is no blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause
an unsafe condition.
Insofar as is practical, close all doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) remain-
ing connected to the venting system are located and other
spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to
the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
Close fireplace dampers.
Followthe lighting instructions for each appliance being in-
spected. Adjust thermostat so appliance(s) will operate
continuously.
Allow 5 minutes of main burner operation, then check for
spillage at the draft hood relief opening of each appliance.
Use the flame of a match or candle (Figure 5).
G3
The horizontal furnaces may be installed directly on combustible
wood flooring or supports as long as all required furnace clear-
ances are met. See Figure 3.
This furnace MUST NOT be installed directly on carpeting or tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring or sup-
ports.
For horizontal installation over a finished living space. A field fab-
ricated auxiliary drain pan with drain pipe is recommended to pre-
vent damage by overflow due to blocked condensate drain.

7. After it has been determined that each appliance vents
properly, return doors, windows, appliances etc. to their
normal condition.
8. If improper venting is observed, the cause MUST be cor-
rected using the appropriate tables in code books of coun-
try having jurisdiction.
NOTE: if flame pulls towards draft hood, this indicates sufficient
venting.
NOTE: Non direct vent appliances occupying same enclosed
space as furnace MUST have enough air for proper combustion
and ventilation. All duct or openings for supplying combustion and
ventilation air must comply with the gas and electrical codes of the
country having jurisdiction.
When the installation is complete, check that all appliances have
adequate combustion air and are venting properly. See Venting
And Combustion Air Check in this manual.
Air Openingsand ConnectingDucts
1. Total input rating for all non direct vent gas appliances
MUST be considered when determining free area of open-
ings.
2. Connect ducts or openings directly to outside.
3. When screens are used to cover openings, they MUST be
no less than 1/4" mesh.
4. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts MUST
NOT be less than 3".
5. When sizing grille or louver, use the free area of opening. If
free area is NOT stamped or marked on grill or louver, as-
sume a 20% free area for wood and 60% for metal.
Confined SpaceInstallation
NOTE: A confined space is defined as an area with less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 BTUH input rating for all gas appliances
installed in the area.
Requirements
1. Provide confined space with sufficient air for proper com-
bustion and ventilation of flue gases using horizontal or
vertical ducts or openings.

DualCertified (*9MPT&*9MPV Models)
This furnace is certified as a category IV appliance. This furnace
can be installed as a direct vent furnace using outside air for com-
bustion or the furnace can use air from inside the structure for
combustion. The INLET air pipe is optional. If combustion air
comes from inside the structure, adequate make up air MUST be
provided to compensate for oxygen burned. See Confined
Space Installation in the Combustion and Ventilation Air
chapter. If combustion air is drawn from outside the structure, it
MUST be taken from the same atmospheric pressure zone as the
vent pipe.
Contaminated Combustion Air
installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase
the exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the fur-
nace.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or have ex-
posure to the substances listed below. The installation must be
evaluated carefully as it may be necessary to provide outside air
for combustion.
• Commercial buildings.
• Buildings with indoor pools.
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms.
• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms.
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
• Permanent wave solutions for hair.
buildings with unusually tight construction, additional air MUST
be provided using the methods described in section titled Con-
fined Space Installation:
Unusually tight construction is defined as: Construction with
Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside have a continu-
ous, sealed vapor barrier. Openings are gasketed or

Other openings are caulked or sealed. These include joints
around window and door frames, between sole plates and
floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines, etc.
VentilationAir
Some provincial codes and local municipalities require ventilation
or make-up air be brought into the conditioned space as replace-
ment air. Whichever method is used, the mixed return air temper-
ature across the heat exchanger MUST not fall below 60 ° F or flue
gases will condense in the heat exchanger. This will shorten the
life of the heat exchanger and possibly void your warranty.
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners.
• Chlorine based swimming poo! chemicals.
• Water softening chemicals.
• De-icing salts or chemicals.
• Carbon tetrach!oride.
• Halogen type refrigerants.
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene).
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid.
• Sulfuric Acid.
• Solvent cements and glues.
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers.
• Masonry acid washing materials.
Ventand Combustion Air PipingGuidelines
NOTE: All vent piping MUST be installed in compliance with local
codes or ordinances, these instructions, good trade practices,
and codes of country having jurisdiction.
1. Determine the best routing and termination for the vent
pipe and air inlet pipe by referring to all of the instructions
and guidelines in this Section.
2. Determine the size required for the vent pipe and air inlet
pipe.
3. Loosely assemble all venting parts without adhesive (pipe
joint cement) for correct fit before final assembly.
4. Use of vertical piping is preferred because there will be
some moisture in the flue gases that may condense as it
leaves the vent pipe (See Special Instruction For Horizon-
tal Vents).
5. The vertical vent pipe MUST be supported so that no
weight is allowed to rest on the combustion blower.
6. Exhaust vent piping or air inlet piping diameter MUST NOT
be reduced.
[_ 44001 2011 O0
7. Allexhaustventpipingfromthefurnacetotermination
MUST slope upwards. A minimum of 1/4" per foot of run is
required to properly return condensate to the furnace drain
system.
8. Use DWV type long radius elbows whenever possible, as
they provide for the minimum slope on horizontal runs and
they provide less resistance in the vent system. If DWV el-
bows cannot be used, use two, 45 ° elbows when possible.
On horizontal runs the elbows can be slightly misaligned to
provide the correct slope.
All horizontal pipe runs MUST be supported at least every
five feet with galvanized strap or other rust resistant materi-
al. NO sags or dips are permitted.
10. All vertical pipe runs MUST be supported every six feet
where accessible.
11. The maximum pipe length is 40' total in the inlet or outlet
side of the system. Up to five, 90 ° elbows can be used on
the inlet or the outlet. With the Concentric Vent Termination
Kits (NAHA001CV or NAHA002CV), the maximum pipe
length is 35' with 4 90 ° elbows. If more elbows are required,
reduce the length of both the inlet and exhaust pipes 5' for
each additional elbow used. (See Table 3 or Table 4).
12. The minimum pipe run length is 2'.
13. The piping can be run in the same chase or adjacent to sup-
ply or vent pipe for water supply or waste plumbing. It can
also be run in the same chase with a vent from another 90+
furnace.
NOTE: In NO case can the piping be run in a chase where
temperatures can exceed 140 ° E or where radiated heat
from adjacent surfaces would exceed 140 ° F.
14. The vent outlet MUST be installed to terminate in the same
atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet.
15. The vent system can be installed in an existing unused
chimney provided that:
• Both the exhaust vent and air intake run the length ofthe
chimney.
• No other gas fired appliance or fireplace (solid fuel) is
vented into the chimney.
• The top of the chimney MUST be sealed flush or
crowned up to seal against rain or melting snow so ONLY
the piping protrudes.
• The termination clearances shown in Figure 7 are main-
tained.
16.
Furnace applications with vertical vents requiring vent di-
ameter increaser fittings must have increaser fittings
installed in vertical portion of the vent. Condensate will be
trapped in the vent if the vent diameter is increased prior to
having an elbow turned upward. This could cause nui-
sance tripping of the pressure switch.
PipingInsulation Guidelines
NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent. If Fi-
berglass or equivalent insulation is used it must have a vapor bar-
rier. Use R values of 7 up to 10', R- 11 if exposure exceeds 10'. If
Fiberglass insulation is used, exterior to the structure, the pipe
MUST be boxed in and sealed against moisture.
.When the vent or combustion air pipe height above the
roof exceeds 30", or if an exterior vertical riser is used on a
horizontal vent to get above snow levels, the exterior por-
tion MUST be insulated.
2. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a sus-
pended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with moisture
resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other equivalent
type of insulation.
3. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm, hu-
mid spaces such as basements.
Sizing Combustion Air and VentPipe
Consult Table 3 or Table 4 to select the proper diameter exhaust
and combustion air piping. Exhaust and combustion air piping is
sized for each furnace Btuh size based on total lineal vent length
(on inlet or outlet side), and number of 90 ° elbows required.
1. Double Pipe Installation-If installing as a direct-vent ap-
pliance, consult Table 4 to select the proper diameter ex-
haust and combustion air piping. Exhaust and combustion
air piping is sized for each furnace Btuh size based on total
lineal vent length (on inlet or outlet side), and number of 90 °
elbows required.
2. Single Pipe Installation-if installing as a non-direct vent
appliance, (single outlet pipe and no inlet pipe) refer to
Table 3. The table shows the maximum number of elbows
allowed with any given pipe diameter and length of run.
3. Use of Elbows-Two 45 ° elbows can be substituted for one
90 ° elbow. The elbow or elbows used for vent termination
outside the structure ARE counted, including elbows need-
ed to bring termination above expected snow levels.

CondensateDrainTrap
This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the prod-
ucts of combustion. Removal of the latent heat results in con-
densation of the water vapor. The condensate is removed from
the furnace through the drains in the plastic transition and the vent
fitting. The drains connect to the externally mounted condensate
drain trap on the left or right side of the furnace.
The condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace MUST be
used. The drain line between the condensate drain trap and the
drain location may be constructed of 3/4" PVC or CPVC pipe, or
other suitable material.
The drain line must maintain a 1/4" per foot downward slope to-
ward the drain.
DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the con-
densate drain trap supplied with the furnace.
Frozen water pipe hazard.
When activated an auxiliary safety switch will
cause a furnace not to operate.
During freezing temperatures the water pipes in
your home could freeze and burst causing water
damage to the home.
Do not leave the home unattended during freezing
temperatures, or shut off the water supply and
drain the pipes before leaving.
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.
1. A condensate sump pump MUST be used if required by lo-
cal codes, or if no indoor floor drain is available. The con-
densate pump must be approved for use with acidic
condensate.
A plugged condensate drain line or a failed condensate
pump will allow condensate to spill. If the furnace is
installed where a condensate spill could cause damage, it
is recommended that an auxiliary safety switch be installed
to prevent operation of the equipment in the event of pump
failure or plugged drain line. If used, an auxiliary safety
switch should be installed in the R circuit (low voltage)
ONLY.

Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an
area which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper op-
eration or damage to the equipment. If the the furnace environ-
ment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap and drain line
must be protected. Use 3 to 6 watt per foot at 115 volt, 40 ° F self-
regulating shielded and waterproof heat tape. Wrap the drain trap
and drain line with the heat tape and secure with the ties. Follow
the heat tape manufacturer's recommendations.

Mount the condensate drain trap in a vertical position to either the
left or right side of the furnace using the two screws and gasket
that are provided. If needed, remove the hole plugs from the fur-
nace side panel and relocate to the open set of holes in the oppo-
site side panel. Drill two /64' diameter holes in the casing using
the condensate trap as the template.
Ensure that the vent fitting and the 90 ° elbow is securely attached
to the combustion blower.
This configuration allows left side venting from the furnace. If right
side venting is required, the combustion blower must be relocated
on the plastic transition box. Remove the four(4) screws that se-
cure the blower to the transition. Rotate the blower 180 ° and se-
cure with the four(4) screws. Use caution to not over tighten the
screws to prevent stripping out of the plastic mounting holes.
For right side venting, remove vent fitting assembly from combus-
tion blower. Remove 90 ° elbow and rubber tubing from the vent
fitting by loosening the clamp on the vent fitting. Securely attach
vent fitting directly to combustion blower.
NOTE: The vent fitting MUST be installed with the airflow marking
arrow pointed toward the vent pipe, with the drain stub at a 20 ° to
30 ° downward slope.
