SECTION II: DUCTWORK
Factory
installed
For duct attachment,
if needed.
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.
364861-UIM-H-0712
The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow
for the furnace size that is being installed.
Refer to Table 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.
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.
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” (10.1 cm) attached to the plenum.
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.
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.

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.

HORIZONTAL APPLICATION
Horizontal Filters
All filters and mounting provision must be field supplied. All installations must have a filter installed.
Any branch duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum
must attach to the vertical plenum before the filter. The use of straps
and/or supports is required to support the weight of the external filter
box.
Downflow Filters
Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above
the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch
duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to
the vertical plenum above the filter height.
Filter(s) may be located in the duct system external to the furnace using
an external duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum or at the end
of the duct in a return filter grille(s). The use of straps and/or supports is
required to support the weight of the external filter box.
SECTION IV: GAS PIPING
GAS SAFETY
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 psig [14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)]. Pressures exceeding
0.5 psig [14” w.c. (3.48 kPa)] at the gas valve will cause damage to
the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to the
furnace or some of its components that will result in property damage
and loss of life.
FIGURE 15: Gas Valve
Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas pipe entry.
Use 90° service elbow(s), or short nipples and conventional 90°
elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes.
GAS PIPING INSTALLATION
Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be
used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the
use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the
minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The furnace
rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of gas
approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The installation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure 16.
FIGURE 16: Gas Piping
10Johnson Controls Unitary Products
An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the
DANGER
furnace gas controls and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the furnace.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 0.5 psig (3.5 kPa).
The gas valve body is a very thin casting that cannot take any external pressure. Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas valve
when installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octagon hub
located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench to the
body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper operation and/or the valve to leak.
Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any
of the gas pipe entry knockouts on both sides of the furnace. Refer to
Figure 13.
GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION FOR PROPANE (LP)
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation,
but may be converted to operate on propane (LP) gas by using a factory-supplied LP conversion kit. Follow the instructions supplied with
the LP kit.
HIGH ALTITUDE GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation
at 0 –7,999 feet (0 – 2,438 m) above sea level.
The manifold pressure must be changed in order to maintain proper
and safe operation when the furnace is installed in a location where the
altitude is greater than 7,999 feet (2,438 m) above sea level. Refer to
Table 5 for proper manifold pressure settings.
HIGH ALTITUDE PRESSURE SWITCH CONVERSION
For installation where the altitude is less than 5,000 feet (1,524m), it is
not required that the pressure switch be changed unless you are in an
area subject to low pressure inversions.

Gas Heating Value
PROPANE AND HIGH ALTITUDE CONVERSION KITS
It is very important to choose the correct kit and/or gas orifices for the altitude and the type of gas for which the furnace is being installed.
Only use natural gas in furnaces designed for natural gas. Only use propane (LP) gas for furnaces that have been properly converted to use propane (LP) gas. Do not use this furnace with butane gas.
Incorrect gas orifices or a furnace that has been improperly converted will create an extremely dangerous condition resulting in premature heat
exchanger failure, excessive sooting, high levels of carbon monoxide, personal injury, property damage, a fire hazard and/or death.
High altitude and propane (LP) conversions are required in order for the appliance to satisfactory meet the application.
An authorized distributor or dealer must make all gas conversions.
In Canada, a certified conversion station or other qualified agency, using factory specified and/or approved parts, must perform the conversion.
The installer must take every precaution to insure that the furnace has been converted to the proper gas orifice size when the furnace is installed.
Do not attempt to drill out any orifices to obtain the proper orifice size. Drilling out a gas orifice will cause misalignment of the burner flames, causing premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage and/or
death.
SECTION V: ELECTRICAL POWER
ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTIONS
Field wiring to the unit must be grounded. Electric wires that are field
installed shall conform to the temperature limitation for 63°F (35°C) rise
wire when installed in accordance with instructions. Refer to Table 6 in
these instructions for specific furnace electrical data.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) numbers are determined in accordance with DOE Test procedures.
Wire size and over current protection must comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA-70-latest edition) and all local codes.
The furnace shall be installed so that the electrical components are protected from water.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
The power connection leads and wiring box may be relocated to the
left side of the furnace. Remove the screws and cut wire tie holding
excess wiring. Reposition on the left side of the furnace and fasten
using holes provided.
FIGURE 17: Electrical Wiring
1. Provide a power supply separate from all other circuits. Install overcurrent protection and disconnect switch per local/national electrical
codes. The switch should be close to the unit for convenience in
servicing. With the disconnect or fused switch in the OFF position,
check all wiring against the unit wiring label. Refer to the wiring diagram in this instruction.
2. Remove the wiring box cover screws. Route all power wiring
through a conduit connector or other proper bushing that has been
installed into the unit opening and the junction box. In the junction
box there is a black wire, a white wire and a green ground screw.
Connect the power supply as shown on the unit’s wiring label on
the inside of the blower compartment door or the wiring schematic
in this section. Connect the black wire to L1 (hot) from the power
supply. Connect the white wired to neutral. Connect the ground wire
(installer-supplied) to the green (equipment ground) screw. An
alternate wiring method is to use a field-provided 2” (5.1 cm) x 4”
(10.2 cm) box and cover on the outside of the furnace. Route the
furnace leads into the box using a protective bushing where the
wires pass through the furnace panel. After making the wiring connections replace the wiring box cover and screws. Refer to Figure
17.
3. The furnace's control system requires correct polarity of the power
supply and a proper ground connection. Refer to Figure 17.
LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL WIRING CONNECTIONS
Install the field-supplied thermostat by following the instructions that
come with the thermostat. With the thermostat set in the OFF position
and the main electrical source disconnected, connect the thermostat
wiring from the wiring connections on the thermostat to the terminal
board on the ignition module, as shown in Figure 17. Electronic thermostats may require the common wire to be connected. Apply strain relief
to thermostat wires passing through cabinet. If air conditioning equipment is installed, use thermostat wiring to connect the Y and C terminals on the furnace control board to the proper wires on the condensing
unit (unit outside).
Set the heat anticipator in the room thermostat to 0.4 amps. Setting it
lower will cause short cycles. Setting it higher will cause the room
temperature to exceed the set points.
Some electronic thermostats do not have adjustable heat anticipators. They should be set to six cycles per hour. Follow the thermostat
manufacturer's instructions.
The 24-volt, 40 VA transformer is sized for the furnace components
only, and should not be connected to power auxiliary devices such as
humidifiers, air cleaners, etc. The transformer may provide power for an
air conditioning unit contactor.
