Page 5
In order to ensure proper unit operation in non−direct vent applications, combustion and ventilation air supply must be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code or CSA-B149 standard.
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit nameplate and in the table in figure 8. Accessibility and ser­vice clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
NOTE − For installation on combustible floors, the furnace shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz­ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord­ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur­rent National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
NOTE − Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and premature heat exchanger failure.
This G43UF furnace must be installed so that its electrical components are protected from water.
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is manually oper­ated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full HEAT or COOL setting.
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded according to local codes. In addition, in the United States, installation must conform with the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad­dress:
National Fire Protection Association 1 Battery March Park Quincy, MA 02269
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit must be installed according to the current regulations of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1) and/or local codes.
NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu­ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-
tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem­perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
The G43UF furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms in the upflow position.
This furnace design has not been CSA certified for installa­tion in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all connections using a commercially available soap solution made specifically for leak detection.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of G43UF units as a construction heater during any phase of construction. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
G43UF units may be used for heating of buildings or struc­tures under construction, if the following conditions are met:
D The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not allowed.
D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
D Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
D Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construc­tion. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace. Size the temporary duct following these instructions in section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a confined space with air from outside.
D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly cleaned following final construction clean−up.
D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified according to these installation instructions.

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 a G43UF furnace:
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.
When the furnace is installed in non−direct vent applica­tions, do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly into it. This could cause improper combustion and unsafe operation.
When the furnace is installed in non−direct vent applica­tions, do not block the furnace combustion air opening 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.
When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space, consider provisions required to prevent freezing of condensate drain system.
CAUTION
G43UF unit should not be installed in areas normally subject to freezing temperatures.
WARNING
Product contains fiberglass wool.
Disturbing the insulation in this product during installation, maintenance, or repair will expose you to fiberglass wool. Breathing this may cause lung cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to the State of Cal­ifornia to cause cancer.)
Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory, skin, and eye irritation.
To reduce exposure to this substance or for further information, consult material safety data sheets available from address shown below, or contact your supervisor.

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the G43UF is installed as a Non−Direct Vent Furnace, follow the guidelines in this section.
NOTE − In Non−Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged out− doors.
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 Cements and glues Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers Masonry acid washing materials
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 combus− tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this section to install G43UF furnaces to ensure efficient and safe operation. You must consider combustion air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas pip− ing. A portion of this information has been reprinted with permission from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI− Z223.1/NFPA 54). 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.
In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contami­nated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventila­tion air requirements, as well as all local codes.
Page 7
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion pro­cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur­nace or other appliance will operate inefficiently and un­safely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all fuel−burning 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 required 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.
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 m
3
) 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 m
3
) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com− bined 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.
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 mm
2
) 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 mm
2
). 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.

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila­tion, the confined space shall be provided with two perma­nent openings. One opening shall be within 12" (305mm) of the top of the enclosure and one within 12" (305mm) 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 per 4,000 Btu (645mm

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 mm
2
) 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 mm
2
) per 2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure. See figure 6. When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sec-
tional 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.

WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in per­sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue products must never be allowed to enter the return air system or air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and joint tape to seal return air system to furnace. In platform installations with furnace return, the fur­nace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple­num. A door must never be used as a portion of the return air duct system. The base must provide a stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al­low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc. For no reason should return and supply air duct sys­tems ever be connected to or from other heating de­vices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explo­sion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property damage could result.

Return Air Guidelines
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either side of the furnace installed in an upflow application. If the furnace is installed on a platform with bottom return, make an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the platform to ensure that the furnace operates properly and safely. The furnace is equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate installation.
Page 10
Markings are provided on both sides of the furnace cabinet for installations that require side return air. Cut the furnace cabinet at the maximum dimensions shown on page 2.
NOTE − When air volumes over 1800 cfm (850 L/s) are required with 60C or 60D models in an upflow applica­tion, the following return air options are available:
1 − Return air from single side with transition which will
accommodate 20 x 25 x 1 in. (508 x 635 x 25 mm) air filter. (Required to maintain proper air velocity.) See figure 9.
2 − Return air from single side with optional RAB Return
Air Base. See figure 10.
3 − Return air from bottom.
4 − Return air from both sides.
5 − Return air from bottom and
one side.
Refer to Engineering Handbook for additional information.
G43UF applications which include side return air and a condensate trap installed on the same side of the cabi­net require either a return air base or field−fabricated transition to accommodate an optional IAQ accessory taller than 14−1/2".

Leveling an Upflow Unit
When the side return air inlets are used in an upflow ap­plication, it may be necessary to install leveling bolts on the bottom of the furnace. Use field−supplied corrosion−resist­ant 5/16 inch machine bolts (4) and nuts (8). See figure 12.
NOTE − The maximum length of the bolt is 1−1/2 inches.
1 − Lay the furnace on its back and drill a 5/16 inch diame-
ter hole in each corner of the furnace’s bottom. See fig­ure 12 for the correct location of the holes. Drill through the bottom panel and the bottom flange of the cabinet.
2 − Install one bolt and two nuts into each hole. Screw the
first nut onto a bolt and then insert the bolt into a hole. A flat washer may be added between the nut and the bot­tom of the unit.
3 − Screw another nut onto the bolt on the inside of the fur-
nace base. A flat washer may be added between the nut and the bottom of the unit.
4 − Adjust the outside nut to the appropriate height and
tighten the inside nut to secure the arrangement.
NOTE − The unit may be tilted back−to−front a maximum of 1/2". This will ensure proper draining of the heat exchang­er.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−pro­vided filter is required for the unit to operate properly. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes. A filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards 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 − Operation of this furnace in heating mode (indoor blower operating at selected heating speed) with an exter­nal static pressure which exceeds 0.5 inches w.c. may re­sult in erratic limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable access panel should be installed in the supply air duct. The access panel should be large enough to permit inspection (by 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.
Page 12
Return Air Plenum
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.
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a furnace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and safely. Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return air duct to fit the filter frame.
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri­can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan­dards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that ad­versely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratifica­tion, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Re­fer to the table 2 below for approved piping and fitting ma­terials.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liq­uids and should be kept away from all sources of ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to reduce fire hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.

Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 2. As an alter­nate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same materi­als. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to ei­ther PVC or CPVC.
Low temperature solvent cement is recommended. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers. Uni­formly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fit­ting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.
Canadian Applications Only − Pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this ap­pliance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (ex­haust) system. When bonding the vent system to the fur­nace, use ULC S636 approved One−Step Transition Ce­ment to bond the pipe to the flue collar, or to bond the 90° elbow or reducing 90° elbow to the flue collar. In addi­tion, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace flue collar must be accessible for inspection.
Table 3 lists the available exhaust termination kits, as well as vent pipe equivalencies which must be used when siz­ing vent pipe. All Lennox vent terminations are PVC.

 Termination kits 44W92, 44W93, 30G28 & 81J20 are ULC−636 approved for Canadian Installation.  The 44W92 Concentric kit is provided with a 1−1/2" accelerator which must be installed on the exhaust outlet when this kit is used with the G43UF−24B−045, G43UF−24B−070 and G43UF−36B−070 furnaces.
Page 14
Vent Piping Guidelines
The G43UF can be installed as either a Non−Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE − In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from out­doors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing in Direct Vent applications and exhaust pipe sizing in Non-Direct Vent applications −−
Size pipe according to tables 4 and 5. Table 4 lists the mini­mum equivalent vent pipe lengths permitted. Table 5 lists the maximum equivalent pipe lengths permitted.
Maximum vent length is defined as:
Total length (linear feet) of pipe,
Plus Equivalent length (feet) of fittings, Plus Equivalent length (feet) of termination. NOTE − Include ALL pipe and ALL fittings, both indoors and outdoors.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as it exits the termination. Refer to table 6.
NOTE − The exhaust pipe should be offset a minimum of 12 inches to avoid the possibility of water droplets being re­leased from the exhaust termination. The minimum ex­haust vent length is 15 ft. Shorter exhaust vent lengths may result in the discharge of water droplets from the exhaust termination, in spite of the 12−inch vertical offset.
Each 90° elbow (including those provided with the furnace) of any diameter is equivalent to 5 feet (1.52m) of vent pipe of the same diameter. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow of the same diameter. One 45° elbow is equal to 2.5 feet (.76m) of vent pipe of the same diameter.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ­ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used. Contact the Application Department for assistance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
NOTE − The flue collar on all models is sized to accommo­date 2" Schedule 40 flue pipe. When vent pipe which is larger than 2" must be used in an upflow application, a 2" elbow must be applied at the flue collar in order to proper­ly transition to the larger diameter flue pipe. This elbow must be added to the elbow count used to determine ac­ceptable vent lengths. Assign an equivalent feet value to this elbow according to the larger size pipe being used. Contact the Application Department for more information concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple pipe sizes.
Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.
Refer to Vent Pipe Size Determination Worksheet on Page 48.
1 − Determine the vent termination and its corresponding
equivalent feet value according to table 3.
2 − Determine the number of 90° elbows required for both
indoor and outdoor (e.g. snow riser) use. Calculate the corresponding equivalent feet of vent pipe.
3 − Determine the number of 45° elbows required for both
indoor and outdoor use. Calculate the corresponding
equivalent feet of vent pipe. 4 − Determine the length of straight pipe required. 5 − Add the total equivalent feet calculated in steps 1
through 4 and compare that length to the maximum
values given in table 5 for the proposed vent pipe di-
ameter. If the total equivalent length required exceeds
the maximum equivalent length listed in the appropri-
ate table, evaluate the next larger size pipe.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust terminations. Doing so will cause freeze−ups and may block the terminations.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
WARNING
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before placing unit into operation.
1 − Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length.
2 − Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges
or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a leaking joint.
3 − Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 − Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe.
5 − Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.
NOTE − Furnace flue collar and air inlet fitting are both made of ABS material. Use transition solvent cement when joining ABS fittings to PVC pipe.
6 − Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in-
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap­plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec­ond coat to end of pipe.
NOTE − Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim­er to dry before applying cement.
7 − Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,
and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur­ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis­tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular core pipe.
NOTE − Assembly should be completed within 20 sec­onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 − After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi­cate a defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9 − Handle joints carefully until completely set.
Venting Practices
The thickness of construction through which vent pipes may be installed is 24" (610mm) maximum and 3/4" (19mm) minimum.
1 − Use recommended piping materials for exhaust pip-
ing.
2 − Secure all joints, including drip leg, gas-tight using ap-
proved cement.
Suspend piping using hangers at a minimum of every 5 feet (1.52m) for schedule 40 PVC and every 3 feet (.91m) for ABS−DWV, PVC− DWV, SPR−21 PVC, and SDR−26 PVC piping. A suit­able hanger can be fabri­cated by using metal or plastic strapping or a large wire tie.
3 − In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
4 − Secure piping at the point where it exits the outside
wall or roof in order to prevent transmission of vibra­tion to the structure.
5 − When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is
shut down for an extended period of time, such as a vacation home, make provisions for draining conden­sate collection trap and lines.
Exhaust Piping
NOTE − A 2" diameter PVC street ell is located on the blower deck of 48C−110, 48C−110H and 60C−110 units (or use field replacement Canadian Kit). In upflow ap- plications, the street ell must be
glued using transition solvent cement directly into the unit flue collar (or use field replacement Canadian Kit). See figure 14. A 3" to 2" PVC reducing ell is located on the blower deck of the 60D−135 units. In upflow applications, the reducing ell
must be
glued using transition solvent cement directly
into the unit flue collar.
1 − Choose the appropriate side for venting. Glue the
field−provided exhaust vent pipe (or provided street ell) to the flue collar. All cement joints should be made according to the specifications outlined in ASTM D
2855. Refer to pipe and fittings specifications and glu­ing procedures.
IMPORTANT
Exhaust piping and condensate trap must be installed on the same side of the unit in upflow and dowflow applications or use alternate drain kit 76M20.

2 − All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back to-
ward unit. A minimum of 1/4" (6mm) drop for each 12" (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage. Horizontal runs of exhaust piping must be supported ev­ery 5 feet (1.52m) using hangers.
NOTE − Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make sure there are no sags or low spots.
3 − On the opposite side of the cabinet, glue the provided
2" ABS vent plug into the unused ABS flue collar with ABS or all purpose solvent cement.
4 − Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in piping ter­mination section.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti­cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re­quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres­sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak­age of combustion products into the living space.

Intake Piping
The G43UF furnace may be installed in either direct vent or non−direct vent applications. In non−direct vent ap­plications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be considered and guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air section must be followed. The G43UF unit is designed for either left−side or right−side air intake connections. Intake air piping is independent of exhaust piping.
Follow the next four steps when installing the unit in Direct Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. The
provided air intake screen must not be used in direct vent applications.
1 − Use transition solvent cement to connect PVC pipe to
the ABS slip connector located on the side of the burn­er box.
2 − Use a sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to
the connector, if desired. A pilot indentation is pro­vided in the slip connector to assist in locating and starting the fastener.
3 − Glue the provided 2" ABS plug into the unused ABS air
intake connector on the opposite side of the cabinet with ABS all pupose cement.
4 − Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guide lines for piping terminations and in intake and exhaust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Refer to figure 16 for pipe sizes.

Follow the next three steps when installing the unit in Non- Direct Vent applications where combustion air is taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
1Use field−provided materials and the factory−provided
air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in figure 17. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3" (76mm) around the air intake opening. The air intake opening (with the protective screen) should always be directed either downward or straight out. Use 2" pipe and fit­tings only and make sure that the air intake does not extend more than 6" beyond the G43UF cabinet.
The air intake connector must not be located near the floor.
2 − Use a sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to
the connector, if desired. A pilot indentation is pro­vided in the slip connector to assist in locating and starting the fastener.
3 − Glue the provided 2" plug into the unused air intake
connector on the opposite side of the cabinet.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations
In Non-Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out­doors. The G43UF is then classified as a non-direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out­doors. The G43UF is then classified as a direct vent, Cate­gory IV gas furnace.
In both Non-Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the vent termination is limited by local building codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223−1/NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current CSA−B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in Canada for details.
Position termination according to location given in figure 18 or 19. In addition, position termination so it is free from any obstructions and 12" above the average snow accumula­tion.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain protective coatings over building materials (prolonged exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy protective coatings). It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be located within 6 feet (1.8m) of a condensing unit because the condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE − If winter design temperature is below 32°F (0°C), exhaust piping should be insulated with 1/2" (13mm), Ar­maflex or equivalent when run through unheated space. Do not leave any surface area of exhaust pipe open to out­side air; exterior exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2" (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent. In extreme cold cli­mate areas, 3/4" (19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary. Insulation on outside runs of exhaust pipe must be painted or wrapped to protect insulation from de­terioration. Exhaust pipe insulation may not be necessary in some specific applications.
NOTE − During extremely cold temperatures, below approximately 20°F (6.7°C), units with long runs of vent pipe through unconditioned space, even when insulated, may form ice in the exhaust termination that prevents the unit from operating properly. Longer run times of at least 5 minutes will alleviate most icing problems. Also, a heating cable may be installed on exhaust piping and termination to prevent freeze−ups. Heating cable installation kit is available from Lennox. See Condensate Piping section for part numbers.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust terminations. Doing so will cause freeze−ups and may block the terminations.
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only: In accordance to CSA International B149 installation codes, the minimum allowed distance between the combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of other appliances shall not be less than 12 inches (305mm).

Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for Direct Vent Installation
NOTE − In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is tak­en from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to out­doors.
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is preferred. Figures 20 through 30 show typical termina­tions.
1 − Exhaust and intake exits must be in same pressure
zone. Do not exit one through the roof and one on the side. Also, do not exit the intake on one side and the exhaust on another side of the house or structure.
2 − Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to il­lustrations). Maximum separation is 3" (76mm) on roof terminations and 6" (152mm) on side wall termina­tions.
3 − On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi-
nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure
20).
4 − Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust pip­ing at the point where it exits the structure to improve the velocity of exhaust away from the intake piping. See table 6.
NOTE − Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of exhaust back into intake pipe.

6 − On field supplied terminations, a minimum distance
between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8" and a minimum distance of 6" with a termination elbow. See figures 21 and 22.
7 − If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall
to position above snow accumulation or other ob­structions, piping must be supported every 24" (610mm) as shown in figures 21 and 22. In addition, close coupled wall termination kits must be extended for use in this application. See figures 28 and 29. When exhaust and intake piping must be run up an outside wall, the exhaust piping must be terminated with pipe sized per table 6.The intake piping may be equipped with a 90° elbow turndown. Using turndown will add 5 feet (1.5m) to the equivalent length of the pipe.
8 − Based on the recommendation of the manufacturer, a
multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to four terminations assembled together horizontally, as shown in figure 25.

Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non-Direct Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is pre­ferred. Figures 31 through 34 show typical terminations.
1 − Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed in table 6.The specified pipe size ensures proper veloc­ity required to move the exhaust gases away from the building.
2 − On field supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex-
haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches (305mm) for 2" PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3" (76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall. See figure 32.

Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either right- or left-side exit of con­densate piping; however, it must be installed on the same side of the unit as the exhaust piping. A 5−1/2" service clear­ance is required for the condensate trap. Refer to figure 35 for condensate trap locations.
When possible, the condensate drain lines should be routed within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of condensate and blockage of the drain line. When conden­sate drain line must be routed through unconditioned space, use an electric heat cable to prevent freezing of con­densate.
FIGURE 35
CONDENSATE TRAP LOCATIONS
Optional
upflow
Optional

NOTE − When side return air filter is installed on same side as the condensate trap, filter rack must be installed beyond condensate trap to avoid interference.
1 − Determine which side condensate piping will exit the
unit. Remove plugs from the condensate collar at the appropriate location on the side of the unit.
NOTE − The condensate trap is factory−shipped with two rubber O−rings and two rubber clean−out caps installed. Check to make sure that these items are in place before installing the trap assembly. O−rings must be properly positioned between trap and cabinet to en­sure seal between the condensate trap and the cabi­net. It is not necessary to apply glue or sealant.
2 − Install condensate trap onto the condensate collar.
Use provided HI/LO screws to secure two upper flanges of the trap to the collar. Use provided sheet metal screw to secure bottom trap flange to side of unit. DO NOT apply glue to secure condensate trap to cabinet. All other joints must be glued. See figure
36.
NOTE − Condensate trap must be installed on the same side as exhaust piping.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a power driver to tighten screws which secure condensate trap to cabinet. Screws should be hand−tightened using a screw driver to avoid the possibility of damage to the trap assembly.

NOTE − Use screws to secure condensate trap to cabinet. DO NOT apply glue to this joint. All other joints must be glued.
3 − The condensate trap provided with the unit is
manufactured using ABS material. Use ABS to PVC transition solvent cement to glue a field−provided PVC coupling or PVC pipe to the trap. Install a tee and vent pipe near the trap.
NOTE − The condensate trap drain stubs (both sides) have an outer diameter which will accept a standard 3/4" PVC coupling. The inner diameter of each stub will accept standard 1/2" diameter PVC pipe.
NOTE − Vinyl tubing may be used for condensate drain. Tubing must be 1−1/4" OD X 1" ID and should be attached to the drain stubs on the trap using a hose clamp.
4 − Glue the field−provided drain line to the tee. Route the
drain line to an open drain. As an alternate, clear vinyl tubing may be used to drain condensate away from the trap. Secure the vinyl tubing to the drain stubs on the trap using a hose clamp. Do not overtighten the hose clamp. Condensate line must be sloped downward away from condensate trap to drain. If drain level is above con­densate trap, condensate pump must be used. Con­densate drain line should be routed within the condi­tioned space to avoid freezing of condensate and blockage of drain line. If this is not possible, a heat cable kit may be used on the condensate trap and line. Heating cable kit is available from Lennox in various lengths; 6 ft. (1.8m) − kit no. 26K68; 24 ft. (7.3m) − kit no. 26K69; and 50 ft. (15.2m) − kit no. 26K70.
CAUTION
Do not use copper tubing or existing copper condensate lines for drain line.
5 − If unit will be started immediately upon completion of
installation, prime trap per procedure outlined in Unit Start−Up section.
6 − Glue the provided cap onto the unused condensate
drain line stub.
Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside the furnace cabinet.
WARNING
Do not exceed 600 in−lbs (50 ft−lbs) torque when at­taching the gas piping to the gas valve.
1 − Gas piping may be routed into the unit through either
the left- or right-hand side. Supply piping enters into the gas valve from the side of the valve as shown in figure 38.
IMPORTANT
The Honeywell VR8205 gas valve requires a low inlet pressure switch in LP/propane applications. A 4" BIP nipple must be installed in the gas valve inlet when right−side gas entry is used in LP/propane applica­tions. See figure 38.
2 − When connecting gas supply, factors such as length of
run, number of fittings and furnace rating must be con­sidered to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 7 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
NOTE − Use two wrenches when connecting gas pip­ing to avoid transferring torque to the manifold.
3 − Gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, clothes
chutes, chimneys or gas vents, dumb waiters or eleva­tor shafts. Center gas line through piping hole. Gas line should not touch side of unit. See figure 38.
Page 28
4 − Piping should be sloped 1/4 inch per 15 feet (6mm per
5.6m) upward toward the gas meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals, ev­ery 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.05m), using suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in vertical pipe runs to serve as a trap for sediment or condensate.
5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection. See figures 45 and 46.
6 − In some localities, codes may require installation of a
manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by in­staller) external to the unit. Union must be of the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro­leum gases.

Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).
IMPORTANT
When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. See figure 37. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage. Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all connections using a commercially available soap solution made specifically for leak detection.Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test has been completed.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under­water. A flood−damaged furnace is extremely dan­gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified ser­vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or product or property damage. Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or mainte­nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis­connect switch.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to start−up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow these steps to prime the trap:
1 − Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into op-
eration.
2 − Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3 − Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-
mand.
5 − Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again al­low the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
Page 34
6 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-
mand and wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with sufficient water to ensure proper condensate drain operation.
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur­nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be­cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the G43UF is equipped with a gas con­trol switch (lever). Use only your hand to move switch. Never use tools. If the the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
G43UF units are equipped with an automatic hot surface ignition system. Do not
attempt to manually light burners on this furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot when there is no call for heat on these units.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

After a 15−second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor en-
ergizes.
After a 20−second ignitor warm−up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens.
Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and the
combustion process continues.
If flame is not detected after first ignition trial, the igni-
tion control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four more times before locking out the gas valve (WATCHGUARD" flame failure mode). The ignition control will then auto­matically repeat steps 1 through 6 after 60 minutes.
To interrupt the 60−minute WATCHGUARD" period,
move thermostat from Heat" to OFF" then back to Heat". Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.
Gas Pressure Adjustment
Gas Flow (Approximate)
1 − Operate unit at least 15 minutes before checking gas
flow. Determine the time in seconds for one revolu­tions of gas through the meter. A portable LP gas me­ter (17Y44) is available for LP applications.

2 − Compare the number of seconds and the gas meter
size in table 8 to determine the gas flow rate. Multiply the gas flow rate by the heating value to determine the unit input rate. If manifold pressure is correct and the unit input rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and restriction.
3 − Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE − To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas appliances connected to meter.
Gas Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a manometer to measure supply pressure. Replace the threaded plug after measurements have been taken.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential pressure between the positive gas manifold and the nega­tive burner box must be considered. Use pressure test
adapter kit (available as Lennox part 10L34) to assist in measurement.
1 − Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of the
gas valve and install a field−provided barbed fitting. Connect test gauge +" connection to barbed fitting to measure manifold pressure.
2 − Tee into the gas valve regulator vent hose and connect
test gauge −" connection.
3 − Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady
state.
4 − While waiting for the unit to stabilize, notice the flame.
Flame should be stable and should not lift from burner. Natural gas should burn blue.
5 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
9.
NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to remove barbed fitting and replace threaded plug.
IMPORTANT
The White Rodgers 36G gas valve (figure 45) is equipped with pressure posts for measuring supply and manifold pressures. The posts provide built−in hose connections and have an integral 3/32" Allen− head screw. Rotate the screw counterclockwise one full turn to permit pressure measurement. Reseat the screw (rotate one full turn clockwise) after measure­ments have been taken to prevent gas leakage.

Testing for Proper Venting and Sufficient Combustion Air for Non−Direct Vent Applications
WARNING
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.
After the G43UF gas furnace has been started, the follow­ing test should be conducted to ensure proper venting and sufficient combustion air has been provided to the G43UF as well as to other gas-fired appliances which are separate­ly vented.
If a G43UF furnace replaces a Category I furnace which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue prod­ucts, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.
The test should be conducted while all appliances (both in operation and those not in operation) are connected to the venting system being tested. If the venting system has been installed improperly, or if provisions have not been made for sufficient amounts of combustion air, corrections must be made as outlined in the previous section.
1 − Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2 − Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch. Determine there is no blockage or re­striction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 − To the extent that it is practical, close all building doors
and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances connected to the venting system are lo-
cated and other spaces of the building. 4 − Close fireplace dampers. 5 − Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not con-
nected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so
they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan. 6 − Follow the lighting instruction to place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously. 7 − Use the flame of match or candle to test for spillage of
flue gases at the draft hood relief opening after 5 min-
utes of main burner operation. 8 − If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected or
sufficient combustion/make-up air must be provided.
The venting system should be re-sized to approach
the minimum size as determined by using the ap-
propriate tables in appendix G in the current standards
of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI−Z223.1/NPFA 54
in the U.S.A., and the appropriate Natural Gas and
Propane appliances venting sizing tables in the cur-
rent standard of the CSA−B149 Natural Gas and Pro-
pane Installation Codes in Canada. 9 − After determining that each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system properly
vents when tested as indicated in step 3, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers
and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous
condition of use.

Other Unit Adjustments
Primary Limit
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment vestibule panel. This limit is factory set and requires no ad­justment.
Flame Rollout Switches (Two)
These manually reset switches are located on the burner box. If tripped, check for adequate combustion air before resetting.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment on the combustion air inducer. This switch checks for prop­er combustion air inducer operation before allowing igni­tion trial. The switch is factory−set and requires no adjust­ment.
Temperature Rise
After the furnace has been started and supply and return air temperatures have been allowed to stabilize, check the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the blower speed to maintain the temperature rise within the range shown on the unit nameplate. Increase the blower speed to decrease the temperature. Decrease the blower speed to increase the temperature rise. Failure to adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation.
Fan Control
The fan on time of 45 seconds is not adjustable. The fan off delay(amount of time that the blower operates after the heat demand has been satisfied) may be adjusted by changing the jumper position across the five pins on the integrated control. The unit is shipped with a factory fan off setting of 90 seconds. The fan off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the fan off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de− energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower return air temperatures; shorter settings provide higher return air temperatures. See figure 47.
FAN-OFF TIME ADJUSTMENT
To adjust fan−off timing, reposition jumper across pins to
achieve desired setting.

Thermostat Heat Anticipation
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached to the unit.
Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections. 2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating).
3 − Check amp-draw on the blower motor.
Motor Nameplate__________Actual__________
NOTE − Do not secure the electrical conduit directly to the air ducts or structure.
Blower Speeds
NOTE − CFM readings are taken external to unit with a dry evaporator coil and without accessories.
Turn off electrical power to furnace. Remove blower access panel. Disconnect existing speed tap at control board speed
terminal.
NOTE − Termination of any unused motor leads must be insulated.
Refer to blower speed selection chart on unit wiring dia-
gram for desired heating or cooling speed. See Blower performance data beginning on Page 39.
Connect selected speed tap at control board speed
terminal. Resecure blower access panel. Turn on electrical power to furnace.
Electronic Ignition
The integrated control has an added feature of an internal Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic re­set device for ignition control lockout caused by ignition fail­ure. This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pres­sure. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat de­mand to the furnace and automatically reset the control to begin the ignition sequence.
Exhaust and Air Intake Pipe
1 − Check exhaust and air intake connections for tightness
and to make sure there is no blockage. 2 − Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed exhaust pipe
will cause unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check ter-
mination for blockages. 3 − Reset manual flame rollout switches on burner box
cover.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following: 1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat? 2 − Are access panels securely in place? 3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed? 4 − Is there a blown fuse? 5 − Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters will
cause the limit control to shut the unit off. 6 − Is gas turned on at the meter? 7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open? 8 − Is the internal manual shut-off valve open? 9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks out
again, inspect the unit for blockages.

Planned Service
A service technician should check the following items dur­ing an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unob­structed to provide combustion air.
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, cracked,
damaged or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access door − Must be properly in place and pro­vide a seal between the return air and the room where the furnace is installed.
Return air duct − Must be properly attached and provide an air seal to the unit.
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the vent system.
Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it nec­essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items can be repaired or replaced.
Instruct the homeowners to pay attention to their furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace in-
spections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance, items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.
