Safety Rules

Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable

service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and

create hazards for you, the owner.

A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages

installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various
sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The

sources could be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking
stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood
fireplaces.

Carbon monoxide can cause serious bodily injury and/or
death. Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless

gas produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.

Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available

carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally
recognized testing agency in accordance with Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station

Carbon Monoxide Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19-01
Residential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling concurrently with the
gas-fired furnace installation (see Note below). The alarm
should be installed as recommended by the alarm

manufacturer's installation instructions.

B.

There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building

or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury,
death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert

people of potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should have
fire extinguisher and smoke alarms listed by Underwriters
Laboratories installed and maintained in the building or
dwelling (see Note below).

Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms

and makes no representations regarding any brand or type
of alarms.

C.

To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should

do the following:

1.

Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit. This

will help you understand how your unit operates and the
hazards involved with gas and electricity.

2.

Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas

control which has been under water.

3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide
air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper combustion
and ventilation of flue gases.

FrozenWaterPipeHazard

WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD

Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may
result in property damage,

Do not leave your home unattended for long periods
during freezing weather without turning off water

supply and draining water pipes or otherwise

protecting against the risk of frozen pipes and
resultant damage.

Your furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortable

living environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure that
water pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety
devices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it from
restarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.

If your furnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in your
home could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.

Ifthe structure will be unattended during cold weather you should

take these precautions.

1. Turn off the water supply to the structure and drain the water
lines if possible and add an antifreeze for potable water to
drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets in appropriate

areas.

-or-

2.

Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Instruct them on a service agency to call to
provide service, if required.

-or-

3.

Install a reliable remote sensing device that wilt notify
somebody of freezing conditions within the home.

WinterShutdown

If you go away during the winter months and do not leave the heat
on in your home, the plastic transition box and the condensate trap
on the furnace must be protected from freeze damage.(See
Figure 11 trough Figure 20)

1. Disconnect the 5/8" (15.9mm) OD rubber hose from the vent
drain fitting that is located downstream of the combustion
blower. Insert a funnel into the hose and pour four(4) ounces
of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate trap.
Reconnect the 5/8" (15.9mm) OD rubber hose to the stub on
the vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.

2. Disconnect the 3/4" (19.1mm) OD rubber hose from the
condensate trap. Insert a funnel into the hose and and pour

four(4) ounces of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the
plastic Transition box. Squeeze the hose together near the

end and quickly reconnect the 3/4" (19.1mm) OD rubber
hose to the stub on the condensate trap. Secure with the

hose clamp.

When you return home, your furnace will be ready to start, as it is

not necessary to drain the antifreeze from the furnace.

2. Installation

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to properly vent this furnace or other

appliances could result in personal injury or death.
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 the Combustion &

Ventilation Air section. This furnace MUST be

vented to the outside.

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.

Location and Clearances

Refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 for typical installation and
basic connecting parts required. Refer to Figure 3 for

typical horizontal direct vent installation and basic

connecting parts required. Supply and return air plenums
and duct are also required.

2.

If furnace is a replacement, it is usually best to install the
furnace where the old one was. Choose the location or

evaluate the existing location based upon the minimum
clearance and furnace dimensions (Figure 4).

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.
Failure to follow this warning could result in

personal injury or death.
Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosive atmosphere

containing chlorine, fluorine or any other damaging
chemicals, which could shorten furnace life.

Refer to Combustion & Ventilation Air section,
Contaminated Combustion Air for combustion air

evaluation and remedy.

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 drainline
must be protected. The use of electric heat tape or

RV antifreeze is recommended for these
installations. (See "Condensate Trap Freeze

when a coil box or cabinet is used.

8. For horizontal installations, line contact is permissible only

between lines formed by intersection of back and two sides
of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs or framing.

9. Residential garage installations require:

• Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18"
(457.2mm) above the floor.

• Located or physically protected from possible damage by
a vehicle.

10. Local codes may require a drain pan under the entire
furnace and condensate trap when the furnace is installed in

attic application.

This furnace may be used for construction heat provided that all the
following conditions are met:

• The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical

wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to

these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,

sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the
space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative
pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower,
causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products

into the structure.

• The furnace iscontrolled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot

wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure without

thermostatic control.

• Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to

minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and
other construction materials. It also prevents the

entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can
cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.

• The temperature of the return air to the furnace is

maintained between 55° F (13 ° C) and 80 ° F (27 ° C), with no
evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while

the structure is under construction is deemed to be

intermittent operation per our installation instructions.

• The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the
furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been set to the

rating plate value.

• The filters used to clean the circulating air during the

construction process must be either changed 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.

• After construction is complete, verify furnace operating

conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature rise
and venting according to these instructions.

On the Dual Certified furnace, the vent and combustion air pipes
attach to the furnace through the top panel for the upflow and

horizontal installations. For the downflow installation, the vent and
combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the alternate
locations on the furnace side panels.

Note: On the Direct Vent furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the
furnace through the side panels. The combustion air pipe attaches
to the top panel or to the alternate location on the side panel.

On the Single Pipe furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the furnace
through the furnace side panels.

Note: Repositioning of the combustion blower is required for the
vent pipe connection to the furnace through the "right side" panel.

See "Vent and Combustion Air Piping" section for further details.

HorizontalFurnaceInstallation

Typical Horizontal Installation

This furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement,

crawl space, alcove, or suspended from a ceiling ina basement or

utility room (See Figure 3). Do not install furnace on itsback or in
the reverse airflow positions as safety control operation will be

adversely affected.

If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a crawl

space or the rafters in an attic, it is necessary to use steel pipe

straps or an angle ironframe to rigidly attach the furnace to prevent

movement. These straps should be attached to the furnace bottom

side with sheet metal screws and to the rafters or joists with bolts.
The preferred method is to use an angle iron frame bolted to the

rafters or joists.

Ifthe furnace is to be installedin a crawl space, consult local codes.
A suitable concrete pad or blocks are recommended for crawl

space installation on the ground.

NOTE: 6" (152.4mm) bottom clearance required for condensate
trap.

24" (609.6mm) inches between the front of the furnace and

adjacent construction or other appliances MUST be maintained for

service clearance. [30" (762mm) inches is required to remove
furnace].

Keep all insulating materials clear from Iouvered door. Insulating

materials may be combustible.
The horizontal furnaces may be installed directly on combustible

wood flooring or supports as long as all required furnace

clearances are met. See Figure 3.
This furnace MUST NOT be installeddirectly on carpeting or tile or

other combustible material other than wood flooring or supports.

For horizontal installation over a finished living space. A field
fabricated auxiliary drain pan with drain pipe is required to prevent

damage by overflow due to blocked condensate drain.

For Single Pipe Installation
(Non-Direct Vent)

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to provide adequate combustion and

ventilation air could result in personal injury or

death.
Use methods described here to provide

combustion and ventilation air.

Furnaces require ventilation openings to provide sufficient air for
proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases. All duct or
openings for supplying combustion and ventilation air must comply
with National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, 2006 (or
current edition) and applicable provisions of local building codes.

Note: The Combustion & Ventilation Air Section inthis document,

uses tables and information from the ANSI Z223.1/NFPA

54. For use in Canada, use CSA B149.1 for this information.

Standardand Known-Air-Infiltration Rate Methods

© NFPA & AGA
Indoor air is permitted for combustion and ventilation, if the

Standard or Known-Air-Infiltration Rate Method is used.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to supply adequate combustion air could

result in personal injury or death.
Most homes will require additional air from

outdoors for combustion and ventilation. A space
with at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUH (4.8 cubic
meters per kW) input rating or homes with tight
construction may need outdoor air, supplied

through ducts, to supplement air infiltration for

proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

The Standard Method may be used, if the space has no less
volume than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUH (4.8 cubic meters per

kW) ofthe maximum input ratings for atl gas appliances installed in

the space. The standard method permits indoor air to be used for

combustion and ventilation air.

The Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used if the

infiltration rate isknown to be less than 0.40 air changes per hour
(ACH) and equal to or greater than 0.10 ACH. Infiltration rates

greater than 0.60 ACH shall not be used. The minimum required

volume of the space varies with the number of ACH and shall be

determined per Table 2 or Equations 1 and 2. Determine the
minimum required volume for each appliance in the space, and
add the volumes together to get the total minimum required

volume for the space.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

The following requirements apply to the Standard Method and to
the Known Air Infiltration Rate Method.

• Adjoining rooms can be considered part of a space, if there
are no closable doors between rooms.

• An attic or crawl space may be considered a space that freely
communicates with the outdoors provided there are adequate

ventilation openings directly to outdoors. Openings MUST

remain open and NOT have any means of being closed off.

Ventilation openings to outdoors MUST be at least 1 square

inch of free area per 4,000 BTUH (5.5 cm2/kW) of total input
rating for all gas appliances in the space.

• Combining spaces on the same floor level. Each opening
shall have a free area of at least 1 in2/1,000 BTUH
(22cm2/kW) of the total input rating of all gas appliances in the
space, but not less than 100 in2 (645 cm2). One opening shall
commence within 12" (304.8 mm) of the top and one opening
shall commence within 12" (304.8mm) of the bottom of the
enclosure. The minimum dimension of air openings shall be at

least 3" (76.2 mm).

• Combining spaces on different floor levels. The volumes of
spaces on different floor levels shall be considered
communicating spaces if connected by one or more
permanent openings in doors or floors having a free area ofat
least 2 in2/1,000 Btuh (44 cm2/kW) of total input rating of all
gas appliances.

• In spaces that use the Indoor Combustion Air Method,
infiltration should be adequate to provide air for combustion,

ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings

with unusually tight construction, additional air MUST be
provided using the methods described in section titled

Outdoor Combustion Air Method:

• Unusually tight construction is defined as Construction with

1. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outdoors have a

continuous, sealed vapor barrier. Openings are
gasketed or sealed and

2. Doors and openable windows are weather stripped and

3. Other openings are caulked or sealed. These include

joints around window and door frames, between sole

plates and floors, between 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
replacement air. Whichever method is used, the mixed return air

temperature across the heat exchanger MUST not fall below 60°

so that flue gases will not condense excessively in the heat
exchanger. Excessive condensation will shorten the life of the heat
exchanger and possibly void your warranty.

VentingandCombustionAir Check

NOTE: If this installation replaces an existing furnace from a
commonly vented system, the original venting system may no
longer be sized to properly vent the attached appliances. An
improperly sized venting system may cause the formation of
condensate inthe vent and the leakage or spillage of vent gases.

To make sure there is adequate combustion air for all appliances,

MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHECK.

of the installer. Manufacturer does NOT take responsibility for
modifications made to existing equipment.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed

into operation, could result in carbon monoxide
poisoning or death:

The following steps shall be followed for each appliance

connected to the venting system being placed into
operation, while all other appliances connected to the
venting system are not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Pro-
pane Installation Code and these instructions. Determine

that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion
and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe con-

dition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows

and all doors between the space inwhich 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 operat-
ing at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust

fan.

6. Followthe lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so ap-

pliance is operating continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at

the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burn-

er operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
(Figure 7)

8. If improper venting is observed, during any of the above

tests, the venting system must be corrected in accor-

dance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223. 1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance con-
nected to the venting system properly vents when tested

as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning ap-

pliance to their previous conditions of use.

For Two Pipe Installation

(DirectVent)

This furnace can NOT be common vented or connected to any type

B, BW or L vent or vent connector, nor to any portion of a

factory-built or masonry chimney. If this furnace is replacing a

previously common-vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize
the existing vent and chimney to prevent oversizing problems for
the other remaining appliance(s). See "Venting and Combustion

Air Check" in this section. This furnace MUST be vented to the

outside.

This furnace iscertified as a Category IV furnace. This furnace can

be installed as a direct vent furnace using outside air for
combustion or the furnace can use air from inside the structure for

combustion. The INLET air pipe is optional. If combustion air
comes from inside the structure, adequate make up air MUST be
provided to compensate for oxygen burned. See Confined Space

Installation in the Combustion and Ventilation Air chapter. If

combustion air is drawn from outside the structure, it MUST be

taken from the same atmospheric pressure zone as the vent pipe.

10. All horizontal pipe runs MUST be supported at least
every five feet with galvanized strap or other rust
resistant material. NO sags or dips are permitted.

11. All vertical pipe runs MUST be supported every six feet
where accessible.

12. The maximum pipe length is 40' (12.2m) 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' (10.7m) with four 90° elbows. If
more elbows are required, reduce the length of both the inlet
and exhaust pipes 5' (1.5m) for each additional elbow used.

(See Table 3 or Table 4).

13. The minimum vent length is 5' (1.5m) of PVC.

14. The piping can be run in the same chase or adjacent to
supply or vent pipe for water supply or waste plumbing. It

can also be run in the same chase with avent from another
90+ furnace.

NOTE: In NO case can the piping be run in a chase where

temperatures can exceed 140 ° F (60 ° C). or where radiated

heat from adjacent surfaces would exceed 140° F(60 ° C).

15. The vent outlet MUST be installed to terminate in the same
atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet.

16. The vent system can be installed in an existing unused
chimney provided that:

• Both the exhaust vent and air intake run the length of the
chimney.

• No other gas fired appliance or fireplace (solid fuel) is

vented into the chimney.

• The top of the chimney MUST be sealed flush or crowned
up to seal against rain or melting snow so ONLYthe piping
protrudes.

• The termination clearances shown in Figure8 are
maintained.

17. Furnace applications with vertical vents requiring vent
diameter increaser fittings must have increaser fittings
installed in vertical portion of the vent. Condensate will be

trapped in the vent if the vent diameter is increased prior to

having an elbow turned upward. This could cause nuisance

tripping of the pressure switch.

CombustionAirandVent PipingInsulation
Guidelines

NOTE: Use closed cell, neoprene insulation or equivalent. If
Fiberglass or equivalent insulation is used it must have a vapor
barrier. Use R values of 7 up to 10' (3.1m), R-11 if exposure
exceeds 10' (3.1m). If Fiberglass insulation is used, exterior to the
structure, the pipe MUST be boxed in and sealed against moisture.

1. When the vent or combustion air pipe height above the roof
exceeds 30" (76.2mm), or if an exterior vertical riser is used
on a horizontal vent to get above snow levels, the exterior
portion MUST be insulated.

2. When combustion air inlet piping is installed above a
suspended ceiling, the pipe MUST be insulated with

moisture resistant insulation such as Armaflex or other
equivalent type of insulation.

3. Insulate combustion air inlet piping when run in warm,
humid spaces.

SizingCombustionAir andVent Pipe

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
appliance, consult 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.

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
needed to bring termination above expected snow levels.

CondensateDrainTrap

This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the

products of combustion. Removal of the latent heat results in

condensation 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 factory installed internally

mounted condensate drain trap on the left or right side of the
furnace.

The startup of a new furnace will involve a cycle or two of the
furnace to properly prime the condensate trap with water. Until the
trap is fully primed, some condensate will be pulled into the

combustion blower. The furnace may cycle on the pressure switch

connected to the plastic transition box due to condensate buildup.
After the trap is primed, the condensate will start draining from the
furnace. The combustion blower will clear out any remaining

condensate in the blower housing through the vent fitting

downstream of the blower. Note that the condensate trap can also

be primed by pouring water into the 1/2" (12.7mm) drain hose.

Remove the1/2'' (12.7mm) ID drain hose from either the gutter or
the white PVC tee trap. Using a funnel pour eight (8) ounces of

water into 1/2" (12.7mm) ID drain hose. Water will flow through the

drain hose and into the condensate drain trap. This will prime both
the vent and the transition sides of the trap. Reconnect the 1/2"

(12.7mm) ID drain hose to the original component, either the gutter

or the PVC tee trap.
The condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace MUST be

used. The drain connection on the condensate drain trap is sized
for 3/4" (19.1mm) PVC or CPVC pipe, however alternate 1/2"

(12.7mm) CPVC [nominal 5/8" (15.gmm) O. D.] or vinyl tubing with a

minimum inner diameter (I.D.) of 5/8"(15.gmm) may also be used,

as allowed by local codes. Alternate drain pipes and hoses may be

used as allowed by local codes.
The drain line must maintain a 1/4" (6.4mm) per foot (304.8mm)

downward slope toward the drain. 1/4" (6.4mm) per foot (304.8mm)

is recommended. Installation of an overflow line is recommended

when the 1/4"(6.4mm) per foot (304.8mm) slope tothe condensate

drain cannot be maintained. A drain tube clip is included in the
furnace to prevent kinking/buckling of the drain tube. The clip

should remain in the furnace (between the door switch plate and
the blower shelf, Figure 10) during operation. See Figure 20 for

proper routing and installation of the overflow.

Fi_ _ !'i'111Drain Tube Clip Location

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

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.

1. A condensate sump pump MUST be used if required by
local codes, or if no indoor floor drain is available. The
condensate pump must be approved for use with acidic

condensate.

2.

A plugged condensate drain line or a failed condensate
pump will allow condensate to spill. Ifthe 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.

3.

If the auxiliary switch in the condensate pump is used, the
furnace may shut down due to a blocked condensate line or
failed pump. To prevent frozen water pipes see the "Frozen
Water Pipe Hazard" section of this manual.

PROPERTY 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.

CondensateDrainTrap FreezeProtection

Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper
operation or damage to the equipment. If the the furnace
environment 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
(4°0) 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. Prime the

trap before furnace operation.
