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 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 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 result in damage.

CAUTION

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 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.

−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 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 through Figure 20)

1. Disconnect the

/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

/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

/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.

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 furnace as centralized as practical with respect to the

heat distribution system.

4. Install the vent pipes as short as practical, and in

accordance to these instructions. (See Vent and Combustion Air Piping section).

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 4.

6. Use a raised base for upflow furnace if the floor is damp or

wet at times.

7. 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 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 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.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

FaiIure 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.

WARNING

Furnace Installation Considerations

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:

Condensate Trap and Drain Lines

The supplied condensate trap must be attached to the furnace side panel on either the left or right side. For horizontal installations, the drain trap is vertically attached to the side panel below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 6″ (152.4mm) below the furnace is required for the condensate trap. Downward slope of the condensate 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

/4″ (6.4mm) from front to back and from side to side for upflow and downflow installations or top to bottom for horizontal installations.

Indoor Combustion Air (Unconfined Space)

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.

WARNING

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.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to supply additional air by means of ventilation grilles or ducts 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.

Most homes will require additional air.

• 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 (5.5cm

/kW) of total input

rating for all gas appliances in the space.

• 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.

Venting and Combustion Air 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 in the vent and the leakage or spillage of vent gases. To make sure there is adequate combustion air for all appliances,

MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHECK.

Vent Check

Draft Hood

Vent Pipe

Match

Typical Gas Water Heater

Figure 7

If flame pulls towards draft hood, this indicates sufficient venting.

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 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 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.

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

Use methods described here to provide combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING

Dual Certified (*9MPX Models)

This furnace is certified as a category IV appliance. 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.

Contaminated Combustion Air

Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase the exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the furnace.

The following areas or types of structures may contain or have exposure 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.

• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners.

NOTE: 1) In Canada, all pipe, fittings & cements must conform to applicable CSA standards or to local codes having jurisdiction.

2) Only use solvent cements that are marked for use with

the specific venting material.

3) ABS to PVC transition joints REQUIRE a special

solvent cement that meets the requirements of ASTM D3138.

4) Refer to ASTM D2855 for general procedure to use for

cementing plastic pipe and fittings.

NOTE: In order to create a seal that allows future removal of pipe, RTV sealant MUST be used on the inlet pipe where it joins to the

furnace. 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. Furnace shall be installed so as to prevent the accumulation of condensate.

5. 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 Instructions For Horizontal Vents).

6. The vertical vent pipe MUST be supported so that no weight is allowed to rest on the combustion blower.

7. Exhaust vent piping or air inlet piping diameter MUST NOT be reduced.

8. All exhaust vent piping from the furnace to termination MUST slope upwards. A minimum of

/4″ per foot (6.4mm per 304.8 mm) of run is required to properly return condensate to the furnace drain system.

9. 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 elbows cannot be used, use two, 45° elbows when possible. On horizontal runs the elbows can be slightly misaligned to provide the correct slope.

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 (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″ (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.

Sizing Combustion Air and Vent Pipe

Consult Table 3 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. 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 *9MPX IS NOT included in the count.

The minimum vent length is 5 (1.5m) of PVC. Elbows are DWV Long Radius Type for

2″ (50.8mm) and 3″ (76.2mm) vents.

If more than five elbows are required, reduce the length of both the inlet and exhaust pipes 5′ (1.5m) for each additional elbow used. If less than five elbows are required, the length can be INCREASED by 5′ (1.5m) for each additional elbow NOT used.

NOTE: It is allowable to use larger diameter pipe and fitting than shown in the tables but not smaller diameters than shown.

** A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway that is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

Notes:

1. The vent for this appliance shall not terminate a. Over public walkways; or b. Near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or property damage; or c. Where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

2. When locating vent terminations, consideration must be given to prevailing winds, location, and other conditions which may cause recirculation of the combustion products of adjacent vents. Recirculation can cause poor combustion, inlet condensate problems, and accelerated corrosion of the heat exchangers.

3. Avoid venting under a deck or large overhang. Recirculation could occur and cause performance or system problems.
