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.

Frozen Water Pipe Hazard

WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD Failure to follow this caution 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.

If the 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.

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.

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

Winter Shutdown

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 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 the vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.

2. Disconnect 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 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.

Installation Requirements

1. Install furnace level.

2. This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of buildings

or structures under construction.

3. Install the vent pipes as short as practical. (See Gas Vent Installation section).

4. Do NOT install furnace directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring.

5. Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front clearance of 24″ (609.6mm) required and 30″ (762mm) recommended for access to the burner, controls and filter. See clearance requirements in Figure 3.

6. Use a raised base if the floor is damp or wet at times.

7. Residential garage installations require:

• Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18″

(457.2mm) above the floor.

• Furnace must be located or physically protected from

possible damage by a vehicle.

8. If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a basement or 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.

9. 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 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 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.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow this warning 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.

Standard and 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.

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) input rating for all 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 is known 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.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

An unconfined space or homes with tight construction may not have adequate air infiltration for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

• 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.

Ventilation Air

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.

WARNING

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 Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Deter-

mine 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. (Figure 7)

8. If improper venting is observed, during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance 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 connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas−fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

For Two Pipe Installation

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.

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

(1.8m) where accessible.

12. The minimum vent length is 5′ (1.5m) of PVC.

13. 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 a vent 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).

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 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 ONLY the piping protrudes.

• The termination clearances shown in Figure 8 & Figure 9

are maintained.

16. 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.

Combustion Air and Vent Piping Insulation 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″ (762mm) 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.

Sizing Combustion Air and Vent 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 linear vent length (on inlet or outlet side), and number of 90° elbows required. 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. The elbow inside the furnace on the N9MPD and *9MPD IS NOT included in the count.

Condensate Drain Trap

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 externally 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 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 (236 ml) of water into 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

/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

/4″ (19.1mm) PVC or CPVC pipe, however alternate 1/2″ (12.7mm) CPVC [nominal a minimum inner diameter (I.D.) of 5/8″ (15.9mm) 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 slope toward the drain. Installation of an overflow line is recommended when the 1/4″ (6.4mm) per foot slope to the condensate drain cannot be maintained. A drain tube retainer clip is included in the furnace to prevent kinking/buckling of the drain tube. The retainer 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.

DO NOT trap the drain line in any other location than at the condensate drain trap supplied with the furnace.

CAUTION

FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in 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.

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. 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.

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 in this manual.

Condensate Drain Trap Freeze Protection

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°C) 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.
