506528-01Page 5 of 37Issue 1035
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing one of these furnaces:
•Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should also
be located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
•Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly
into it. This could cause improper combustion.
•Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
•When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated
space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for
combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance
vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could
be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside
air is brought into the house for combustion, negative
pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside pressure)
will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace
vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter
the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion
and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this
section to install this furnaces to ensure efficient and safe
operation. You must consider combustion air needs and
requirements for exhaust vents and gas piping.
NOTE:The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates
these additional requirements:
•Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber
or fitter only.
•The gas cock must be “T handle” type.
•When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passageway
to and service area surrounding the equipment shall be
floored.
WARNING

permission from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1).
This reprinted material is not the complete and official
position of the ANSI on the referenced subject, which is
represented only by the standard in its entirety.
WARNING
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting
and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in
safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
506528-01Page 6 of 37Issue 1035
All gas fired appliances require air for the combustion
process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the
furnace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and
unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs
of all fuelburning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces,
exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time
as the furnace, much more air is necessary to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants
may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents and
other contaminants which can corrode furnace components.
Equipment in Confined Space - All Air From Inside
The requirements for providing air for combustion and
ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed
in an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be
unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around the
windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air from
outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50
cubic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This definition includes furnace closets or small equipment
rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space
containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by
ducts which are sealed to the furnace casing and which
terminate outside the space containing the furnace. This is
especially important when the furnace is mounted on a
platform in a confined space such as a closet or small
equipment room. Even a small leak around the base of the
unit at the platform or at the return air duct connection can
cause a potentially dangerous negative pressure condition.
Air for combustion and ventilation can be brought into the
confined space either from inside the building or from outside.
NOTE: Each opening shall have a free area of at least one square
inch per 1,000 Btu (645 mm² per .29 kW) per hour of the total input
rating of all equipment in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square
inches (64546 mm²).
Figure 3
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a space
categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by providing
two permanent openings between the two spaces. Each
opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
(645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of total input
rating of all gas fired equipment in the confined space. Each
opening must be at least 100 square inches (64516 mm2).
One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the top
of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm)
of the bottom. See Figure 3.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation,
the confined space must have two permanent openings. One
opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the top of the
enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or
by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that
freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through
vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17 kW)
per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
See Figures 4 and 5. When communicating with the
outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have
a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 2,000
Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the
enclosure. See Figure 6.
506528-01Page 7 of 37Issue 1035
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross
sectional area as the free area of the openings to which
they connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air
ducts shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating
free area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens
must be considered. If the design and free area of protective
covering is not known for calculating the size opening
required, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will
have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must
be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the
equipment so that they are opened automatically during
equipment operation.
EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SPACE - ALL AIR FROM OUTSIDE
(Inlet Air from Crawlspace &
Outlet Air to Ventilated Attic)
EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SPACE
(ALL AIR FROM OUTSIDE)
NOTE: Each air duct opening shall have a free area of at least one
square inch per 2,000 Btu (645 mm² per .59 kW) per hour of the
total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. If the equipment
room is located against an outside wall and the air openings
communicate directly with the outdoors, each opening shall have a
free area of at least 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645 mm² per 1.17
kW) per hour of the total input rating of all other equipment in the
enclosure.
NOTE: The inlet and outlet air openings shall each have a free area
of at least one square inch per 4,000 Btu (645 mm² per 1.17 kW) per
hour of the total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do not
connect the return air ducts to the back of the furnace.
Doing so will adversely affect the operation of the safety
control devices, which could result in personal injury or
death.
The gas furnace can be installed as shipped in either the
upflow position or the horizontal position.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection, and
installation and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at
unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE: Units with 1/2 hp blower motors are equipped with
three flexible legs and one rigid leg. See Figure 7. The
rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white
plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet
used with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer
must be removed before the furnace is placed into
operation. After the bolt and washer have been removed,
the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.

Return Air Opening - Downflow Units
Return air may be brought in only through the top opening
of a furnace installed in the downflow position. The following
steps should be taken when installing plenum:
1. Bottom edge of plenum should be flanged with a
hemmed edge (See Figure 14 or 15).
2. Sealing strips should be used to ensure an airtight seal
between the cabinet and the plenum.
3. In all cases, plenum should be secured to top of furnace
using sheet metal screws.
4. Make certain that an adequate seal is made.
5. Set the furnace over the plenum.

Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field provided
high velocity filter is required for the unit to operate properly.
Venting
A 4 inch diameter flue transition is factory installed on the
combustion air inducer outlet of all models.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.
Duct System
Use industry approved standards (such as those published
by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct
system. This will result in a quiet and low static system that
has uniform air distribution.
NOTE:Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode
with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.8 inches w.c.
Higher external static pressures may cause erratic limit
operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable
access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection
(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger
for leaks after the furnace is installed. The furnace access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is operating
and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct system.
Return Air Plenum
IMPORTANT
The unit will not vent properly with the flue transition pointed
down in the 6 o’clock position.
The combustion air inducer may be rotated clockwise or
counterclockwise by 90° to allow for top or side vent
discharge in all applications. When the unit is installed,
the flue transition must be in the 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock or 6
o’clock position.
These series units are classified as fan assisted Category I
furnaces when vertically vented according to the latest edition
of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) in the
USA. A fan assisted Category I furnace is an appliance
equipped with an integral mechanical means to either draw
or force combustion products through the combustion
chamber and/or heat exchanger. This unit is not approved
for use with horizontal venting.
NOTE:Use these instructions as a guide. They do not
supersede local codes. This furnace must be vented
according to all local codes these installation instructions,
and the provided venting tables in these instructions.
NOTE: Return air must not be drawn from a room where
this furnace, or any other gas fueled appliance (i.e., water
heater), or carbon monoxide producing device (i.e., wood
fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure
is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in a
room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled
back down the vent pipe and into the room. This reverse
flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combustion
and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas
might then be distributed throughout the house by the furnace
duct system.
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) and are
provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper
application, termination, construction and location of vents
must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the
absence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining
document.
Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in
these instructions to properly size and install the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Once the venting system is installed, attach the
“Disconnected Vent” warning sticker to a visible area of
the plenum near the vent pipe. See Figure 15. The
warning sticker is provided in the bag assembly. Order
kit 66W04 for additional stickers.
