7. Residentialgarageinstallationsrequire:
• Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18" (457mm)
above the floor.
• Furnace must be located or physically protected from pos-
sible damage by a vehicle.
Horizontal Furnace Installation
Typical Horizontal Installation
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Inspect unit rating plate to be certain model number begins
with "NTV6", "NTP6", "VNE" or "TNE". This identifies unit as
horizontally mountable. If unit does NOT bear this designation,
you may NOT mount this unit horizontally. Horizontal furnace
may not be mounted on its back.
If you purchased a horizontally mountable furnace, it can be
installed horizontally in an attic, basement, crawl space, alcove, or
suspended from a ceiling in a basement or utility room in either a
right or left airflow position. See Figure 4.
The following minimum clearances to combustibles MUST be
maintained between the furnace and adjacent construction, as
shown in Figure 4. ONLY the corner of the cabinet is allowed to
contact the rafters. All other clearances should be observed as
shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, or Figure 3.
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 attach the furnace. 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.
Thirty inches (30") is recommended between the front of the fur-
nace and adjacent construction or other appliances. This should
be maintained for service clearance.
Keep all insulating materials clear from Iouvered door. Insulating
materials may be combustible.
It is recommended for further fire protection that cement board or
sheet metal is placed between the furnace and the combustible
wood floor and extend 12" (300mm) beyond the front of the fur-
nace louver door. (This is a recommendation only, not a require-
ment).
This furnace MUST NOT be installed directly on carpeting or tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring or sup-
ports.
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.
Furnaces require ventilation openings to provide sufficient air for
proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases. All duct or open-
ings for su pplying combustion and ventilation air must comply with
the gas codes, or in the absence of local codes, the applicable na-
tional codes.
When the installation is complete, check that all appliances have
adequate combustion air and are venting properly. See Venting
And Combustion Air Check in Section 4 of this manual.
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
• Permanent wave solutions for hair.
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners.
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals.
• Water softening chemicals.
• De-icing salts or chemicals.
• Carbon tetrachloride.
• 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.
Contaminated Combustion Air
Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase the
exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the furnace.
These instances must use only outside air for combustion.
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.

Confined Space Installation
NOTE: A confined space is defined as an area with less than 50
cubic feet(1.4m 3) per 1,000 BTUH input rating for all gas ap-
pliances installed in the area.
Air Openings and Connecting Ducts
1. Total input rating for all gas appliances MUST be consid-
ered when determining free area of openings.
2. Connect ducts or openings directly to outside.
3. When screens are used to cover openings, the openings
MUST be no smaller than 1/4" (6ram) mesh.
4. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts MUST
NOT be less than 3" (75ram).
