SECTION II: DUCTWORK
DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION
The duct system’s design and installation must:
1.Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within
the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.
2.Be installed in accordance of National Fire Protection Association
as outlined in NFPA standard 90B (latest editions) or applicable
national, provincial, state, and local fire and safety codes.
3.Create a closed duct system. For residential and Non-HUD Modular Home installations, 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 a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.
4.Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the conditioned space.
The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, downstream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat
exchanger.
When the furnace is used with a cooling coil, the coil must be installed
parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow arrangement is
used, dampers or other means used to control airflow must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to prevent the furnace
or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper is in full heat or
cool position.
When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing plenum is not the
same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be
removed and a new plenum installed that is the proper size for the new
furnace. If the plenum is shorter than 12” (30.5 cm) the turbulent air flow
may cause the limit controls not to operate as designed, or the limit controls may not operate at all.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly.
The ducts attached to the furnace plenum, should be of sufficient size
so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure
and within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
The minimum plenum height is 12” (30.5 cm). The furnace will not
operate properly on a shorter plenum height. The minimum recommended rectangular duct height is 4 inches (10 cm) attached to the
plenum.
The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow
for the furnace size that is being installed.
Refer to T able 6 or the furnace rating plate for the correct rise range
and static pressures.
If the ducts are undersized, the result will be high duct static pressures and/or high temperature rises which can result in a heat
exchanger OVERHEATING CONDITION. This condition can result
in premature heat exchanger failure, which can result in personal
injury, property damage, or death.
If a matching cooling coil is used, it may be placed directly on the furnace outlet and sealed to prevent leakage. If thermoplastic evaporator
‘A’ coil drain pans are to be installed in the upflow/horizontal configuration, then extra 2” minimum spacing may be needed to ensure against
drain pan distortion.
On all installations without a coil, a removable access panel is recommended in the outlet duct such that smoke or reflected light would be
observable inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the
heat exchanger. This access cover shall be attached in such a manner
as to prevent leaks.
DUCT FLANGES
Four flanges are provided to attach ductwork to the furnace. These
flanges are rotated down for shipment. In order to use the flanges,
remove the screw holding an individual flange, rotate the flange so it is
in the upward position and reinstall the screw then repeat this for all 4
flanges.
If the flanges are not used, they must remain in the rotated down position as shipped.
FIGURE 1: Duct Attachment
DUCTWORK INSTALLATION AND SUPPLY PLENUM
CONNECTION - UPFLOW/HORIZONTAL
Attach the supply plenum to the furnace outlet. The use of
an approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all
installations. This connection should be sealed to prevent
air leakage. The sheet metal should be crosshatched to
eliminate any popping of the sheet metal when the indoor
fan is energized.
FLOOR BASE AND DUCTWORK INSTALLATION DOWNFLOW
Installations on combustible material or directly on any
floors must use a combustible floor base shown in Figure 8.
Follow the instructions supplied with the combustible floor
base accessory. This combustible floor base can be
replaced with a matching cooling coil, properly sealed to
prevent leaks. Follow the instructions supplied with the
cooling coil cabinet for installing the cabinet to the duct connector. Plug intake and vent pipe holes in bottom panel and
move grommet to desired vent side exit.
Downflow Air Conditioning Coil Cabinet
The furnace should be installed with coil cabinet part number specifically intended for downflow application. If a matching cooling coil is
used, it may be placed directly on the furnace outlet and sealed to prevent leakage. For details of the coil cabinet dimensions and installation
requirements, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the coil
cabinet.
Attach the air conditioning coil cabinet to the duct connector, and then
position the furnace on top of the coil cabinet. The connection to the furnace, air conditioning coil cabinet, duct connector, and supply air duct
must be sealed to prevent air leakage.
COIL INSTALLATION
On all installations without a coil, a removable access panel is recommended in the outlet duct such that smoke or reflected light
would be observable inside the casing to indicate the presence of
leaks in the heat exchanger. This access cover shall be attached in
such a manner as to prevent leaks.

RESIDENTIAL AND MODULAR HOME UPFLOW
RETURN PLENUM CONNECTION
Return air may enter the furnace through the side(s) or bottom depending on the type of application. Return air may not be connected into the
rear panel of the unit.
SIDE RETURN APPLICATION
Side return applications pull return air through an opening cut in the
side of the furnace casing. This furnace is supplied with a bottom blockoff panel that should be left in place if a side return is to be used. If the
furnace is to be installed on a flat, solid surface, this bottom panel will
provide an adequate seal to prevent air leakage through the unused
bottom opening. However, if the furnace is to be installed on a surface
that is uneven, or if it is to be installed on blocks or otherwise raised off
the floor, it will be necessary to seal the edges of the bottom panel
to the casing using tape or other appropriate gasket material to
prevent air leakage.
BOTTOM RETURN AND ATTIC INSTALLATIONS
Bottom return applications normally pull return air through a base platform or return air plenum. Be sure the return platform structure or return
air plenum is suitable to support the weight of the furnace.
The internal bottom panel must be removed for this application.
Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles
and have floor support with required service accessibility.
DOWNFLOW APPLICATION
For downflow applications, the furnace must be turned upside-down so
that the circulating air enters at the top and exits the furnace at the bottom. The combustion air inducer must be rotated 90° as shown in Figure 22. DO NOT BLOCK COMBUSTION AIR INLET OPENINGS.

1.Air velocity through throwaway type filters may not exceed 300 feet per min-
ute (91.4 m/min). All velocities over this require the use of high velocity filters.
2.Do not exceed 1800 CFM using a single side return and a 16x25 filter. For
CFM greater than 1800, you may use two side returns or one side and the
bottom or one return with a transition to allow use of a 20x25 filter.
