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. 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.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure.
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.

WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace
with control compartment facing downward. Safety
control operation will be adversely affected. Never
connect return−air ducts to the back of the furnace.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl
space on either the left−hand (LH) or right−hand (RH) side.
The furnace can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or
installed on a non−combustible platform, blocks, bricks or
pad.
Suspended Furnace Support
The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded
rod, angle iron or metal plumber’s strap as shown. (See
Figure 15 and Figure 16) Secure angle iron to bottom of
furnace as shown. Heavy−gauge sheet metal straps
(plumber’s straps) may be used to suspend the furnace from
each bottom corner. To prevent screws from pulling out, use 2
#8 x 3/4−in. (19 mm) screws into the side and 2 #8 x 3/4−in.
(19 mm) screws in the bottom of the furnace casing for each
strap. (See Figure 15 and Figure 16) If the screws are
attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the bottom, the
straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and not pull
away from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment
12
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
screws are not in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable
support.
Platform Furnace Support
Construct working platform at location where all required
furnace clearances are met. (See Figure 2 and Figure 17) For
furnaces with 1−in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side,
set furnace on noncombustible blocks, bricks or angle iron.
For crawl space installations, if the furnace is not suspended
from the floor joists, the ground underneath furnace must be
level and the furnace set on blocks or bricks.
Roll−Out Protection
Provide a minimum 17−3/4 in. x 22 in. (451 mm x 559 mm)
piece of sheet metal for flame roll−out protection in front of
burner area for furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm)
above the combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer
than 12 inches (305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST
extend underneath the furnace casing by 1 in. (25 mm) with
the door removed.
The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17−1/2 in.
(445 mm) and larger may be used for flame roll−out
protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air
connection. See Figure 17 for proper orientation of roll−out
shield.
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, perform the following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove two screws holding
bottom filler panel. (See Figure 9)

Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections. (See Figure 20).
FILTER ARRANGEMENT
!
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 with filter
access door removed.
There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these
furnaces.
A field−supplied accessory external filter is required.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the external filter rack
for assembly and installation options.
AIR DUCTS
General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal
and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) or American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air
Systems Design Guidelines reference tables available from
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 Table 5 − AIR DELIVERY−CFM (With Filter).
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 return−duct connections to furnace
with code approved tape or duct sealer.
WARNING
NOTE: Flexible connections should be used between
ductwork and furnace to prevent transmission of vibration.
Ductwork passing through unconditioned space should be
insulated and sealed to enhance system performance. When
air conditioning is used, a vapor barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1−in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible
materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914
mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local
code for further requirements.
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 take−off
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 NFPA 90B as tested by UL
Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
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 airstream. The cover
attachment shall prevent leaks.
Upflow and Horizontal Furnaces
Connect supply−air duct to flanges on furnace supply−air
outlet. Bend flange upward to 90_ with wide duct pliers. (See
Figure 14) The supply−air 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 accessories MUST be connected to duct external to
furnace main casing.
NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top−most flange may
be bent past 90 degrees to allow the evaporator coil to hang
on the flange temporarily while the remaining attachment and
sealing of the coil are performed.
Downflow Furnaces
Connect supply−air duct to supply−air outlet on furnace. Bend
flange inward past 90_ with wide duct pliers. (See Figure 14)
The supply−air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace
supply outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used).
When installed on combustible material, supply−air duct must
be connected to ONLY the accessory subbase or a factory
approved air conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main
furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or
other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected to
duct external to furnace casing.
